Roulette

Roulette is not a new game to the world of casinos, in fact its history dates back as far as the late 1700's when a mechanic by the name of Blaise Pascal became fascinated with a spinning wheel and a ball and where the ball would come to rest. From this developed the game of Roulette which today is still played with a smart wooden spinning wheel which has 37 or 38 pockets of different numbers and colors depending on which version of Roulette you play, and a small ball. The wheel is set in motion and the ball spins with the wheel, where the ball comes to rest determines the wins for that game.

Online Roulette Provides Frontline View to Spinning Wheel

Today Roulette has been reproduced with graphic richness for online play and in some cases the spinning wheel at an online casino is not only clearer but more vivid than you would receive at a land based casino. First of all you have a front line uninterrupted view and second of all, it is so real you want to reach out and touch it. The rich wooden spinning wheel is accompanied by an easy to understand and use betting grid which in most Roulette games is on a plush green felt mat.

Roulette Variations

The betting grid is made up of the 37 or 38 numbers that appear on the wheel. The numbers depend on the version of Roulette that you are playing. European Roulette is paled with a single zero pocket and American Roulette is played with a double zero pocket. Bets can be placed on single numbers, pairs of numbers, groups of numbers, or series of numbers. They can be on odd numbers or even numbers, black numbers or white numbers, numbers from 1-18 or from 19-36. The more widespread your bet is the lower the odds but on the other hand the higher the chance you have of winning.

The Game of Luck

Roulette is a thrilling game that is based totally on luck. You as the player cannot predetermine where the ball will land, especially because the online Roulette games are powered by random number generators which are totally random. You can play Roulette for fun at many online casinos just to get the hang of it but it is of course not the same as the real thrill of playing a real money game. Flash Roulette is also an option at many casinos which means that you don’t even have to download the casino to your computer and can play directly from the casino web browser. Online Roulette is thrilling and dynamic; you can never predict what will happen which means it is a game that you should just enjoy for what it is.
