How To Play Roulette Online

Online Roulette is a popular table game at US online casinos. The game has a European, Monte Carlo, James Bond cachet to it, and it is easy to learn and play. Also, while it is a game of chance, the odds of winning, or at least breaking even on every wager, are not bad. The good odds make online Roulette a good choice for new online casino players.

Roulette is based on a spinning wheel. The wheel has 36 numbers on it, 1 through 36, in alternating red and black squares. There is also a zero in a green square. The game starts when the wheel is spun and a ball is released onto it, in a direction opposite the spin. When the wheel and ball both stop, the ball's location determines the outcome of the bets. Online roulette retains these features, in a virtual format.

Roulette rules allow a player to place a variety of bets: black/red, odd/even, zero, or individual numbers. Offline or online, roulette bets must be placed before the wheel is spun. When you play roulette online you can place bets by clicking on the roulette table. The table has the roulette rules and bets written on it, and the players simply places casino chips on the correct square to show a bet.

Because many roulette wagers can be placed on nearly 50/50 odds (odd/even, black/red), the player has a very good chance to break even in the long run. In the US, online casinos typically do count roulette wagers toward bonus wager requirements because of this.

Online roulette is a simple game, but it does have variations. In European roulette, there are two zeros on the wheel, giving a total of 38 squares. American roulette rules permit only one zero, for 37 squares. The zero on the wheel gives the game a small advantage to the house when a player bets odd/even or black/red, but even so, the odds are very close to 50/50 in the long run. Rich Casino uses the American version of roulette rules, with one zero on the wheel and slight better odds for the player.
