What is Online Roulette?

Online Roulette is one of the most popular non-card games in online casinos today and for good reason.  You see, unlike card games, you don’t need to go through a ton of research to play online roulette.  You don’t need to polish your skill before you hit the tables.  You don’t even have to know the difference between a diamond and a heart.  All you’ll need is yourself, some luck, some money, and these tips, and you’ll be more than ready to play.

European Versus American

This is actually one of the most common tips that you’ll get from roulette players.  Never ever play at an American Roulette.  European roulettes have only one zero, but the American roulettes have two zeroes, which puts the casino at an easy advantage.  Playing European Roulette would keep the odds fair.

Go for a Trial Run

If you’re still looking for a casino that you’re going to stick to, then you might as well exhaust the freeplay area of each site.  Know your options and alternatives first.  If you see that you tend to win a lot to the point that it gets suspicious, be wary.  This site is probably just trying to get you to register on their site.  While there’s really no problem with that, the problem lies in the fact that they were willing to rig a system in order to get you to do what they wanted.  Find a site which has fair odds, and do not be blinded by all the dollars popping up on those rigged freeplay areas.  Obviously, it would be better to pick the one with the fair odds rather than the one that rigs their software to their advantage.

Know the Rules

There is a rule called ‘En Prison’.  It allows you to save your stake on an even bet even if the ball stops on the zero pocket.  Some sites do not have this rule, while others do.  And obviously, it’s better to go with the site where your chances of losing money can be considerably lessened.  Another rule that can be quite useful is the ‘La Partage’.  This rule, however, only saves half of your stake.  But really, in a game where money is involved, you’ve got to take what you can get.

Don’t Look for Patterns

Sometimes, when we spend a long time at the table, we start seeing patterns that aren’t really there.  Remember that each spin is independent, and past spins don’t really have an influence over it.  Bet randomly, as the ball will stop randomly as well.

Know When to Quit

Finally, know when to quit.  Before you start playing, know how much you’re willing to lose and know how much you want to win.  When you reach either of these numbers, stop.  You’ll either come out as a winner or as a loser without any substantial losses, but either one is much better than coming out buried in debt.
