Roulette is a little different than most of the other types of
Casino Games you'll find in
Online Casinos as it comes down to luck at the end of the day. There are a number of things that you need to consider before and during agame of
Roulette so you can win as much as possible. We've outlined some of the main tips that we found useful below.
• There are 2 main types of Roulette - American & European (Single 0 wheels) with a less used French option. Make sure you are clear which version you're playing.
• The typical 'House Edge' for the Roulette games across all of the online casinos are:
European 2.7% - American 5.3% - French 1.4%
• Play on a European roulette wheel; the odds of winning on this version are higher as the wheel has one less number.
• Play a few numbers, preferably winning numbers, every spin.
• Start with even money bets, such as red/black or low/high bets. Straight up bets may have higher payouts, but you'll probably lose your stack of money before hitting one.
• Don't bet all of your money in one go, split it into smaller bundles so you'll last a longer amount of time and have more fun.
• Decrease your bets when you are on a losing streak, and increase your bets when you are winning.
• Play a roulette table that offers the 'en prison' or 'la partage' rule. This is where a 0 (and 00 for the American version) is landed by the roulette ball, all even money bets are not lost, but are rather afforded the opportunity to stay on the board for the next bet, or be taken back by the player.
• Don't place the five-number bet as this is the highest casino advantage of any other roulette wager, and should always be avoided. With 5 to 1 payout odds, a player is better off taking the 8 to 1 payout on a corner bet.
• Track the numbers. If a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor.
• If you are influenced by other results, then learn to bet with the outcome and not against it.
• Increase your bet when you win and not when you lose. Quit while ahead and limit your losses.
