A roulette playing machine which is designed for an individual player with the use of a single circulating playing ball. The machine comprises: an enclosed casing; a roulette wheel rotationally installed in the aforementioned casing and closed from above with a transparent cover that allows observation of the game but prevents physical contact with the playing ball; a drive mechanism for rotating the wheel that can be disengaged from the wheel to put it into free rotation after acceleration of the wheel, the wheel having circumferentially-arranged recesses for the playing balls and the inclined surface that ensures falling of the ball into one of the recesses when the wheel stops; electromagnetic mechanism for launching the ball in the direction of rotation of the wheel into a space between the wheel and the transparent cover; an electromechanical ball returning mechanism for returning the ball to the launching mechanism by means of an electromagnet and a lever system upon completion of one playing cycle; and a CPU that controls the operation of aforementioned mechanisms in accordance with the program. The apparatus also contains a sensor that immediately cancels the game cycle if the housing of the apparatus is intentionally or accidentally shaken to the extent that may change the game result. The invention also relates to a game based on the use of the aforementioned apparatus.
