What is online roulette?
Roulette is a very simple game in which a small ball is released into a spinning roulette wheel. The wheel is made up of small pockets, each red or black (one or two are green depending on the game). Each pocket has a different number from 0-36.
You bet on where you think the ball will land after each spin. Popular bets are red or black, odd or even, specific numbers, row or combinations of numbers.
Online roulette uses cutting-edge computer software to recreate the famous wheel. A random number generator (RNG) ensures a fair game, while sharp graphics, realistic animations, and sounds make for a fantastic experience.
When you choose live roulette, you are connected to a real casino or studio stream where professional croupiers spin a roulette wheel. You see all the action happen in real-time in high definition.
Whichever type of roulette you choose, bets are placed the same way and winnings are paid out instantly.
How to win at online roulette
Like most casino games, online roulette is a game of pure luck. You can take no action to improve your chances of winning once you have placed your bets. You just need some luck!
That said, playing at a European roulette table is better for your bankroll than playing at an American roulette table where the house edge nearly doubles due to the second green zero.
Playing at a table with the La Partage rule – often known as French roulette tables – will push down the edge even more.
Remember to treat every spin of the wheel as independent from the next. Many players fall for the ‘gambler’s fallacy’, where they take past results to indicate what will happen in the future. If 10 red numbers have come up in a row, it is not more likely black will come up next.
Similarly, if number 17 comes up, it’s precisely the same odds that it will come up again next spin. Many players try to find sequences with past results, but it’s a waste of time! Every spin is random.
While betting on the correct number pays 35/1, online roulette players looking for big wins should try Lightning Roulette, where prize multipliers worth up to 500X are available!
What is the best strategy for online roulette?
Roulette betting strategy is all over the internet, with mathematicians and gamblers trying for hundreds of years to find a reliable, long-term winning system.
Here are some of the more popular ones. But beware, all have significant flaws and can wipe out your bankroll if you don’t play responsibly!
Martingale betting system – Placing bets on only even-money wagers, the strategy tells you to double your stake every time you lose until you win. Then reset and start again.
You will always cover your losses and win a little, says the strategy. However, even a relatively small losing run will see you stake huge bets for small rewards.
Playing long-term with this strategy will inevitably mean you hit a losing run that either wipes out your bankroll or you will reach the limits for the table.
Fibonacci betting system – Like above, this system is limited to even money bets. After each loss, you increase your stake according to Fibonacci’s famous number sequence – 1-1-2-5-8-13-21 etc.
Some argue you should go from 1 to 2, rather than 1-1. When you win, you move back to steps on the sequence. If you fall off the end, then you are ahead and should quit.
This sounds good but has the same flaws at the Martingale. Even a small losing run will see you wager huge bets for small returns, and you will lose your bankroll or hit any table limits fast.
James Bond betting system – Created by Ian Fleming, famous for the James Bond books, this system wins 68% of the time by placing three specific bets.
Bet €140 on the Hi line numbers 19-36, €50 on the line bet 13-18, and €10 on zero.
The problem is, it’s expensive at €200 a spin, so not suitable for a long session at the table. And, of course, you are a loser 32% of the time!
Other popular roulette strategies include the Reverse Martingale, the D-Alembert, and the Labouchere.
