A Complete Guide to Getting Started With Online Roulette

Roulette has stuck around for a long time since its Inception in the 18th century in France. The relatively easy rules and steps of the game have made it a widespread game of luck. Although there are no rocket science calculations or procedures to be known, there are a couple of concepts that you need to be aware of before playing the game.

1. The basic play

The basic chronology of the play starts with the player placing the bets on the colour red or black, whichever they choose to bet on. The roulette wheel is then spun by the dealer, who is also known as the croupier. If the ball lands on the section of the colour on which the player has placed their bet, the player wins, and the winning amount can be collected after removing the Dolly from the stack of the bet. This is how the roulette game was originally played.

2. The types of wheel

There are three basic types of roulette wheels that can be seen in a live casino as well as in an online roulette game. The American roulette wheel has two green coloured pockets for double zero compartments and the remaining 36 consist of black and red colour with the equal placement of 18 compartments each. The double zeros are on opposite sides of the wheel. While the American wheel has 38 compartments, the European one has 37 as it consists of only one zero compartment. The French wheel is also like the European wheel with a single zero but there are a couple of additional rules to playing it.

3. Know the odds

Before the final placing of bets, a player should always assess the risk of losing the money in the given play. The basic odd that should be known by beginner of the roulette game is that the straight-up bet helps get the highest payout. The return on the bet made is 36 times the original bet.

4. House-edge

The main motive behind any live or online casino is to make money off the bets placed by the players. When the game is looked at with a mathematical point of view, it shows a greater advantage to the dealers who are the representatives of the house in comparison to the players.
