Roulette is one of the best-loved casino games, largely due to its high adrenaline excitement and simplicity.
This popularity has finally begun to translate to the world of online gambling, thanks to the development of live roulette, which allows players to bet on a real roulette wheel, as opposed to the uninspiring pixelated random number generator wheels of conventional online roulette.
In live roulette, the rules are much the same as normal roulette. The player must first decide whether to bet on a single number or a range of numbers, and subsequently choose between the colours black or red and the numbers odd or even.
Once the player has made these initial decisions, the croupier then spins the roulette wheel one way whilst throwing the ball in the opposite direction. When the ball finally loses momentum, it falls into one of the pockets on the wheel, of a certain number and colour – usually to be greeted by jubilant shouts of joy or groans of disappointment.
While these basic rules might appear relatively simple, there are a few ways to enhance your enjoyment of the game.
When playing roulette live, do:
Make a betting limit for each game.
Watch the game online before playing.
And finally, remember to relax and enjoy!
When playing roulette live, don't:
Follow roulette tips aimed at cheating – these never work
Attempt to win back lost money.
Become frustrated if you lose – remember roulette is a game of luck, not skill.
