The pain of Online Casino Roulette

The popularity of Roulette is equal on both sides of the Atlantic. Players from around the world have always wanted to find a winning strategy for online casino roulette. And, it is for this reason that a number of strategies and systems have been formulated by so-called ‘veterans’, but it should be taken care when you buy these systems. When it comes to roulette, chance has a higher chance of winning, and not strategy.

As compared to roulette, the house edge of other betting games is lower. Always bet on the 1:1 payout when playing on the roulette table. You can bet on red-black colors, high-low numbers or on even-odd numbers.

Roulette as a betting game is meant entirely to give fun and enjoyment to the player. In comparison to a land based casino, the online version of the game is much faster, and you would never be able to keep a track of time.

Beginners need to get themselves acquainted with the table layout, the bets as well as the payouts involved in roulette. There are basically two categories of bets – the inside bets and the outside bets. The inside bets involve line, corner, straight-up, five-number and street bets. And, the outside bets consist of odd-even, red-black, dozens, high-low and columns bets, with the payouts being different for each one.

Outside bets have lower house edge. Mainly there are three kinds of major online casino roulette types that are played around the world. These are the American roulette, the European roulette and the French roulette.

The difference between all the three roulettes is small. And you can expect the American version to have the maximum casino edge. The game involves setting chips on the boxes on the roulette table. The chips can be placed on the numbers, the lines between the numbers or on the boxes marked around the table.

The chips used in online casinos are marked with denominations, while in land based casinos, the value of the chips was identified by their colors. When the chips are placed on the table, the dealer rotates the slotted wheel and spins the ball into it. The ball stops on a slot and decides the winners and losers.

There are 38 slots in an American wheel, while 37 in a European wheel. The American wheel has a double zero that is not present in the European version. Due to this reason the house edge of the American wheel is higher.

“En prison” is a rule that applied only in the case of European roulette. According to this rule, when the ball lands on the zero, a half is returned for the bets made on high-low, red-black or odd-even. The player in online casino roulette also has the choice to imprison his bet so that it can be played in the next spin.
