The online casino game roulette is dependent on a small ball being sent spinning in the opposite direction to a spinning wheel with a range of numbers on it (0-36 or 00 to 36) and slots into which the ball can fall. There are two versions of the game - American (38 slots with a 00 and the 0-36 number range) and European (37 with the 0-36 number range slots). Careful placement of online bets can help the roulette player to reduce his/her playing risk. The numbers have either black or red colors. The game depends on luck and the skill come in understanding and the various betting possibilities. Roulette Variations
In American roulette, the wheel has 38 slots and a house advantage of 5.26% because it has both the -0- and -00- slot. European roulette generally has only 37 slots - only a -0- - and a house advantage of 2.7% which gives the players marginally better odds. Place an Inside Bet or an Outside Bet in online roulette.
