ROULETTE

Roulette is a great game. It is fast, fair and has an element of class.

Online roulette has a short history as it has evolved with the net, but a long history with it's relationship to the classic casino game. Roulette may be considered a soothing game in the gambling circuit. A nice slow pace tends to attract subdued and quiet, and by nature of this quality, a more civilized crowd. In Europe roulette has an association with tuxedoes and well dressed women; the air is that of grace, nobility, elegance, a million synonyms more. The exact origins of the game are not exactly known. With its popularity arising in the mid 18th century in greater Europe, some say the inventor is none other than the famed mathematician and early computer mind Blaise Pascal. If this is true, then the game has truly come full circle, as the new wave of players log on to try online roulette.

Strangely enough the roulette wheel has become one of the most fixed representations of gambling throughout the world, without the game ever becoming all that popular in America. Perhaps to say that is strange is culturally centric, as its popularity is unquestioned across the pond. There is a difference between American and European roulette though, and it lies in the wheel. An American wheel has both a 0 and a 00 (double zero) thus creating a higher house advantage, and discouraging many. Single 0 wheels may be found in North America, but often require an unreasonable minimum bet. Online roulette wheel's may be either American or European, but of course this only matters if the online casino keeps it's odds straight.

Bottom line.... Play European Roulette!!! You will find that the American Roulette overall is much less favorable than European Roulette. Why? because American casino's didn't like the odds of European Roulette and added an extra Green space the double "00". This move allowed to increase the house advantage by a factor of 2. European Roulette gives the house a 2.7% advantage wheras American Roulette gives the House a 5.5% advantage.
