1. A roulette overlay system, comprising:
a) a support body including an annular portion defining a central circular space therein, the annular portion including a first side having a peripheral rim and an opposing second side having an annular receiving channel defined at least partially by a radially inner sidewall and a radially outer sidewall, wherein the annular receiving channel is dimensioned and configured to be seated on a stationary bowl of a conventional roulette wheel;
b) a ball propelling device mounted on the support body and including a receiving port for receiving one or more balls to be propelled; and
c) a ball guiding member connected with the ball propelling device for receiving one or more propelled balls and having an end positioned for guiding the one or more propelled balls into the central circular space.
2. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising an actuator for causing the ball propelling device to propel one or more balls mounted on the support body.
3. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball guiding member comprises an elongated tube.
4. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball guiding member extends along the peripheral rim and the end is positioned within the central circular space.
5. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a remote actuator for causing the ball propelling device to propel one or more balls.
6. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising an audio device configured for playing audio upon one or more balls being propelled.
7. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball propelling device is configured to propel two or more balls consecutively within a preset range of time.
8. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball propelling device is configured to propel two or more balls substantially simultaneously.
9. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball guiding member comprises an elongated tube.
10. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a remote actuator for causing the ball propelling device to propel one or more balls.
11. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball propelling device is configured to propel the two or more balls consecutively within a preset range of time.
12. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ball propelling device is configured to propel the two or more balls substantially simultaneously.
13. A roulette overlay system and associated multiball roulette wagering game, comprising:
a) a support body including an annular portion defining a central circular space therein, the annular portion including a first side having a peripheral rim and an opposing second side having an annular receiving channel defined at least partially by a radially inner sidewall and a radially outer sidewall, wherein the annular receiving channel is dimensioned and configured to be seated on a stationary bowl of a conventional roulette wheel;
b) a ball propelling device mounted on the support body and including a receiving port for receiving at least two balls to be propelled;
c) a ball guiding member connected with the ball propelling device for receiving propelled balls and having an end positioned for guiding the propelled balls into the central circular space; and
d) a table layout displaying wagering areas and indicia relating to wagering opportunities for the associated multiball roulette wagering game.
14. A roulette overlay system and associated multiball roulette wagering game as recited in claim 13 , wherein the ball propelling device is configured to propel two or more balls substantially simultaneously.
15. A roulette overlay system and associated multiball roulette wagering game as recited in claim 13 , further comprising a conventional roulette wheel seated within the central circular space and mounted for rotational motion in the stationary bowl.
16. A roulette overlay system and associated multiball roulette wagering game as recited in claim 13 , further comprising an interface with a display for displaying the table layout.
17. A roulette overlay system as recited in claim 13 , further comprising an actuator for causing the ball propelling device to propel one or more balls mounted on the support body.
