Online Roulette

The game of roulette is one of the simplest to learn and, although some may argue vehemently, requires no strategy to be learnt as it relies solely upon luck as to where the ball lands on the wheel. The boom in online casinos and internet gambling has brought the game of roulette to a far wider audience as it allows players all over the world to enjoy playing online roulette in an internet casino in the comfort of their own home. In fact, whether they are playing high limit roulette in a high stakes casino or are playing for little money or even for free by demo money, there are likely to be millions of roulette players enjoying the game at any one time worldwide.

Just as with other casino games there are a number of different versions of roulette available to play, although unlike games such as video poker which can have hundreds of different variations, roulette will fall broadly into that of European Roulette or American Roulette, with the only difference being that American Roulette has an extra number in the wheel in the form of double zero or "00". This extra possibility as to where the ball will land greatly increases the long-term house edge and is not a good idea if the player has the option of playing European Roulette as their bankroll is likely to last much longer and also mean they have a better mathematical probability of winning money from the casino rather than losing it to them! Whilst European roulette wheels may be difficult to find in many casinos not located in Europe, fortunately in an online casino a player should usually have the option to play European roulette at any time. If they don't, then they should really consider choosing a different online casino provider who does!
