American and European Roulette |
Roulette is basically available in two different varieties, American and European. The only difference is that the American roulette wheels have two zeros, whereas its European counterpart only has one. Choosing the right wheel is a simple but very important part of a winning roulette strategy. Since both versions are generally available online, there is no reason whatsoever to play American roulette based on the odds.
Some casinos also offer the outstanding "en prison" rule, which means
that if the player makes an even-money bet and the ball lands on zero,
the player's bet is "imprisoned". If the imprisoned bet wins on the
following spin, the player gets his chips back. Another optional rule
gives the players half of their money back if the ball lands on zero.
Both of these alternative rules are equal in value, and if you find any
of them - be sure to make a note of it.
The game of Roulette has been around for a long time, and as it usually
doesn't take long before someone comes up with a "perfect system",
roulette has seen its fair share of crazy theories. Some claim that
certain wheels are tilting one way or the other and make their bets
accordingly, while others employ different variations of the old
Martingale system, in which you double up after each loss. Of course,
you don't have to worry about "biased" wheels when you play roulette
online (they are controlled by random number generators). In reality,
roulette is the genuine game of chance - luck is all that matters on
the wheel of fortune.
