Online Roulette Basics

Basically, roulette is played the same way online as it is in the casino with some additional choices available according to enhancements that have been made to the online version of the game. When deciding which version of roulette to play it is extremely important to understand the rules of the game and how these rules may be different from other roulette games that may have been played before. Odds and payout ratios will change according to the changes to the games also, so it’s very important to understand these differences also.

The most basic concept to know about roulette is that it is a game of chance. There is no strategy involved in playing the game that can increase a player’s chances of winning. That said, it’s important to know what the chances are for a winning bet. Bets in the online casino are made the same way as they are offline – on a grid of numbers with red and black numbers and several other combinations that can be made. The longest odds and biggest payouts occur when betting on a single number – 1 in 37 on a European wheel and 1 in 38 on an American wheel.

The best chances for winning and the smallest payout will occur when making a bet on red or black or odd or even numbers, as has been described previously. In addition to this, bets can be made on the lines between numbers, covering them on the bet, and reducing the odds accordingly. For example, if a bet were placed on the corner of the numbers 1, 2, 4, & 5 the player would be betting on 9 out of 36 numbers and would have a 1 in 9 chance of winning. Bets can also be made in thirds of the numbers (first twelve, second twelve, or third twelve), 1-18 or 19-36, or even on the 0 or 00 slot.

For the more specialized versions of roulette particular to a specific online casino, be sure to understand all the types of bets that can be made.
