Enjoying Playing and Gambling with Roulette

No matter what system you use, always remember that roulette gambling is just that – gambling.

Roulette gambling is one of the oldest forms of gambling, and ways to “beat the system” are almost as old as the wheel itself. The important thing to remember is that roulette gambling is completely random. Because each spin of the wheel is an independent event, you cannot predict spins based on previous spins. The only way in which a player can guarantee a win in roulette gambling is a betting system and an unlimited bankroll. Since no player has an unlimited bankroll, even a millionaire, and no casino will allow you to endlessly double your bets, you cannot “beat the system” long term. That said, there are ways to cut your losses.


European Roulette versus American Roulette Gambling

Many casinos, both online and land-based offer more than one type of roulette gambling. The most common two types of roulette games are European roulette and American roulette. There is a fundamental difference between the two types of wheels. There is one additional space on the American roulette wheel; the double-zero. Both wheels have the numbers between one and thirty-six arranged on the wheel in red or black spaces. Each wheel has a zero. The American wheel has a double-zero. As a result, if a player places an “even money” bet on a European wheel, their chances of winning are 18/37 (around 48.6%) and on an American wheel, 18/38 (around 47.4%). It may not seem like a big difference, but it adds up over time. As a result, players should always choose the European roulette wheel over the American roulette wheel when given the choice.


Online Roulette versus Land-Based Roulette Gambling

In theory, playing online roulette shouldn’t be any different from land-based roulette gambling. In practice, there are some differences. The biggest difference is the pace of the game. Whereas in live roulette at a land-based casino, there is quite a bit of chatter, online roulette gambling is generally straight business. You place your bets, click spin, and the round is complete. This is obviously different at casinos where live dealer roulette is offered.

Another main difference between roulette gambling at an online casino versus roulette gambling at a land-based casino is the way that comps and bonuses work. While land-based casinos will offer anyone who spends enough time gambling at a roulette table a free drink, and will give high rollers free nights at the hotel, free tickets to shows, and more, online casinos simply can’t work this way. Instead, online casinos offer sign-up bonuses and loyalty points. Generally, players find that they cannot redeem their sign-up bonuses by playing roulette. It’s very important to check this before you start your roulette gambling session, as you may void your entire bonus by playing roulette before the bonus is redeemed.


The Key to Roulette Gambling

The key to enjoying a roulette gambling experience is simple – remember that you’re playing for fun. You’re gambling, so you may lose money and you may win money. As long as your money was earmarked for casino entertainment and you can afford to lose it, you shouldn’t mourn the lost money. Instead, you should enjoy the games you played and the wins along the way!
