Roulette is one of the simplest casino games to play.

Online casinos these days have a huge array of games available to play and they are being added to on a daily basis but one game remains always popular and that is Roulette which has not changed in centuries. There are really only two versions of the game and the only difference between the two versions is that American Roulette as it is known has an extra number which is “00”. This means that instead of 1 through 36 plus “0” there is 1 through 36 plus “0” plus “00” which obviously means that your chances of picking the correct number go from 1 in 37 to 1 in 38 but the payout remains the same at 35 to 1. The answer is that if you have a choice, never play American Roulette. In most online casinos you will have the choice but some land based casinos or cruise ships or car ferries only have the American version so beware. The place to play roulette is at an online casino and you can play it with live dealers if you so wish. Roulette is so popular because it is so simple; all you have to do is guess which number will come up on the wheel but of course you can spread bets over many different numbers to increase your chance of hitting the winning number. For example you can place a bet on all the black numbers or all the even numbers which would give you nearly a 50/50 chance of winning ( it is only nearly 50/50 because the “0” is neither black nor red) or you can bet on all the odd numbers or all the even numbers but again the “0” is neither odd nor even. You can bet on a single number, two numbers, three numbers, four numbers, six numbers, twelve numbers or any combination of the above and so it goes on. Roulette is a great game that requires no skill, a beginner has just as much chance as somebody who has been playing for years and as casino games go, Roulette gives you one of the best chances of winning.
