| '''Game Guy's Roulette''' is a Game Guy [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Gameplay== | | ==Description== |
| The player attempts to choose which area on the roulette wheel the [[Red Shell]] will spin into, with smaller areas being worth more [[coin]]s. After the player chooses an area, [[Game Guy]] spins the shell around the roulette. If the shell spins into the area the player chose, their coins are multiplied by the number listed next to their choice. However, if the shell spins into a different area from the area the player chose, the player loses all of their coins.
| | "Place your bet, then make your guess. If the shell stopes in the area you chose, your coins will increase according to the odds. If the shell lands in another area, your coins will be [[Game Guy|mine]]. |
|

|
| ===Spaces on the roulette===
| | "Place your bet, then make your guess." |
| * The green [[Koopa Troopa]] area contains six slots on the roulette wheel and doubles the player's coins.
| |
| * The dark-blue [[Bob-omb]] area contains five slots on the roulette wheel and multiplies the player's coins by four.
| |
| * The brown [[Goomba]] area contains four slots on the roulette wheel and multiplies the player's coins by eight.
| |
| * The light-blue [[Boo]] area contains three slots on the roulette wheel and multiplies the player's coins by 16.
| |
| * The pink [[Toad]] area contains two slots on the roulette wheel and multiplies the player's coins by 32.
| |
| * The red area directly in front of Game Guy (represented by a generic [[Shy Guy]] on the betting table icon) contains just one slot on the roulette wheel and multiplies the player's coins by 64.

| ==Expected value== | | ==Gameplay== |
| Let ''B'' be the number of coins bet and observe that there are 21 slots on the roulette wheel. The following table shows the EV for each area the player can choose.
| | The player attempts to pick which one the shell will spot to, wide to narrow and less to more. After that, Game Guy spins the shell around the roulette. If the shell spins into another spot instead of the spot the player picks, the player loses all the [[coin]]s. |

| Although betting on Koopa Troopa is most likely to earn the player coins in a single minigame, constantly betting on Koopa Troopa makes the player most likely to lose coins in the long run. Conversely, constantly betting on Toad or Shy Guy is a long shot in any single round, but it makes the player more likely to triple their coins in the long run.
