ROULETTE
GUIDE
 The
spinning wheel and clattering silver ball of the
Roulette table are one of the most famous
images in gambling - so it's no surprise to see the
ease with which the game has made the jump to the
online world.
Our
Roulette Guide will help to ease you gently
into the action.
The
basic idea behind Online Roulette is very
simple - a wheel is spun and a small ball is
released to drop into any one of 37 or 38 numbered
slots. Roulette players bet on where the ball will
stop. Half the slots numbered 1-36 are coloured
red, and half are black. The 0 slot and (if there
is one) the 00 slot are coloured green.
The
number of zeros on the table is the big difference
between
European and American Roulette, the double
zero being the version most often seen in the US.
Both versions can be found in Online
Casinos
and the wise gambler picks single-zero tables, as
the house advantage is reduced
considerably.
Online
Roulette bets can be made on any individual number,
or on many different groups of numbers. The odds
paid on winning depend, unsurprisingly, on the
likelihood of the bet succeeding. A bet on an
individual number pays at 35-1, while 'outer table'
bets such as odd/even or red/black pay at
evens.
The
zeros are what gives the house its edge: any of the
evens-odds bets lose when a 0 or 00 comes up, and
their presence on the wheel mean players' chances
of picking a winning number are rather worse than
the pay-out should they succeed.
