Online Roulette Work

Most online casinos offer one or more variants of roulette. This popular casino game is usually found under the table games category. Online roulette works in much the same way as if you were playing roulette at a real land based casino. The only difference is that the roulette table is virtual, and you place your bets via computer or mobile.

Roulette rules

An advantage of roulette is that the rules of the game are very easy to understand. This makes roulette suitable for most players regardless of experience and knowledge. Once you have familiarized yourself with the rules of roulette, you will master the game very quickly. Online roulette consists of a roulette wheel with numbers from 0 to 36 in different colors. The game also consists of a roulette ball to be spun around the wheel as well as a game table where players must place their bets.

The croupier controls the game

The game is controlled by a croupier or a dealer. The game itself begins with the dealer spinning the roulette wheel and then letting the roulette ball spin around the wheel. You must then place your bet within a given time limit, normally in good time before the roulette ball falls on the numbers on the wheel. The bets are placed on the gaming table in front of you. Here there are different fields with numbers and colors that match the roulette wheel. Some numbers are black other numbers are red. The exception is the number 0 which is green. Some of the fields also allow you to place bets on what color the ball will land on, either red or black, or whether the ball will long on an even or odd number. Since the roulette wheel contains the number 0 on a green field, it means that there is not as great a chance that the roulette ball lands on red as on black. This gives the casino an advantage or edge of around 52%.

Placement of bets

On the game table, place your bet as you think the roulette ball will land on the wheel. You can place your bets in many different ways. The easiest way to place the bet is on a field that gives you almost a 50% chance of winning.

Red or black

Odd numbers or even numbers

Low or high

For bets on these fields, you will be paid 1: 1 if you win. This means that if you bet 100 you will get back your bet + 100.

There are also a number of other options for placing your bets. For example, you can bet on a column of several numbers or on several numbers in a series. If you do this, the odds will of course be lower for you to win, but if you first win, the win will be up to 17 times your bet.

The boldest bets that give the biggest payoff are the ones where you bet directly on a single number. Of course, it takes a lot for the roulette ball to land exactly on the number you have chosen, but if you bet correctly, you will get back 36 times your bet (35: 1).

If you bet 100 that the roulette ball should land on black 8 and the ball lands there, you will win the whole 3600. You can also place the bet on the green 0 number. This is a popular bet even if you do not win anything more than if you bet on any other number.

Roulette strategies

The chances of winning in roulette depend on how you choose to place your bet. This is a game that is mainly about luck, where the casino has a small advantage due to the green 0's. However, there are several roulette strategies out there that are supposed to increase your chances of winning and give you an advantage over the casino. The problem with these strategies is that the casinos have gradually changed the rules for how much you can bet so that they do not work as intended.

Martingale strategies: The most famous roulette strategy is The Martingale Strategy. This strategy means that you only place bets on fields that give it close to a 50% chance of winning, and that you double your bet every time you lose. The idea is that over time you will have to win, and when you first win you will get back everything you have lost so you start with blank sheets.

The Alembert strategies: Another well-known roulette strategy is The D'Alembert Strategy. This strategy has similarities to Martingale, and is also about increasing the bet every time you lose. Here, however, the effort is increased more slowly, which reduces the chance that the effort will quickly become very high.

Live roulette

Roulette is an action game that is probably extra entertaining at a real land based casino. Thanks to modern technology, however, you do not have to board a plane to experience the pulse of a land-based casino. Most casinos today have their own live casino where you will also find live roulette. In live roulette, the game is controlled by a real dealer that you follow on your screen. The dealer is in a TV studio that streams live to you while you play.

Roulette on mobile

More and more casino gaming takes place on mobile, and roulette is a game that works perfectly on your mobile as well. In the casinos' mobile casino, you will find different versions of roulette that are adapted to the mobile format. Here you control your bet and the game by using your finger on your screen. Mobile roulette is perfect for you who want to be able to play roulette while on the go.
