A paddlewheel is a round mechanical vertical wheel, at least thirty inches in diameter, and
may be divided into a maximum of five concentric circles. The outer circle must contain at
least forty numbers or symbols. A paddlewheel may have house numbers or symbols for an
optional odd or even bet. Each inner circle may contain up to one-half of the number of
numbers or symbols as that circle's adjacent outer circle. The numbers and symbols may
repeat on a circle. Each circle must be divided into equally spaced sections, be a different
primary color, and correspond to the colored numbers or symbols of a table playing surface.
The colored numbers or symbols of all concentric circles must be at least five-eighths of one
inch in height.
2.
A peg must protrude, on the circumference of a paddlewheel, between each section of the
outside circle. A pointer must be positioned above a paddlewheel. It is used to stop a spin of a
paddlewheel and determine the winning colored number or symbol.

A table must have:
a.
A chip tray and a rail for holding a player's chips;
b.
A playing surface which must be permanently imprinted with colored numbers or symbols
of at least one and one-half inches in height relating to each circle of a paddlewheel. A
table may have spaces for various wagers, including sets of numbers, colored numbers,
symbols, and "ODD" and "EVEN" bets;

chips within each set is based on an organization's discretion. Each chip must be permanently
impressed, engraved, or imprinted on one side with an organization's name and the other side
may have a stated value of one dollar. The name may be represented by a unique
identification that differentiates an organization's chips from other organizations' chips. Each
chip is valued at one dollar. An organization may issue casino chips in values of one dollar,
