BEST ONLINE ROULETTE SITES 2024

In terms of the rules, online roulette is no different from playing at a live casino. Bets are placed the same way, and odds are typically the same too.  

RNGs (Random Number Generators) ensure that players have the same probability to win as when playing at a  physical casino. 

As the name suggests, the selection is completely random, ensuring fairness. 

The main difference between American and European roulette is the number of pockets on the wheel. American has 38 with its 0 and 00 pockets. 

European has 37 with just a 0 pocket. This makes a noticeable difference to the house edge. European roulette offers 2.7%, whereas, American has nearly 5%.

French roulette offers some unique variations on the rules with its 'En Prison Rule' and 'La Partage.' Both involve even-money bets and the 0 pockets further reducing the house edge.

The 'En Prison Rule' states that when the ball falls into the 0 pockets, you won't immediately lose your money. Instead, the wager will be 'imprisoned' through the next spin. If it wins, the bet will be returned to you. If it loses, your single wager will have covered 2 consecutive losses.

The 'La Partage' rule is a variation of this. If 0 is selected on a spin, then half of all even-money bets will be refunded.

When playing roulette in a casino, players have to be ready to get their wagers in, because, for the most part, the croupier won’t wait to spin the wheel.

 Although it differs based on many factors, you can normally expect in the neighborhood of 30 to 40 spins per hour. You don’t really have any control over it. 

That’s one of the big advantages of online roulette compared to the casino version. You are completely in charge of the pace of play. 

Players should always determine their own preferences.

Players that bet more, give themselves a better chance to win big but also be putting themselves at more risk of losing everything. 

In contrast, betting less will give you a better chance of playing for a long time with a small bankroll, but also be limiting your potential winnings. 

No, to put it simply betting systems don’t work. The reason why betting systems don’t work for roulette is that there is no way to beat the game.

Roulette is totally random; the outcome of the last spin has no effect on the outcome of the next spin, therefore making it impossible to determine what number is most likely to come up.
