Roulette is split into two main versions: American and European. In the American version, there are two zero spots verses just on in the European version. The result is an added house advantage (bad for you) in the American version. The good news is you can play the European version, if you desire, on the Internet. Let's get right into it.

Objective of the Roulette game

To win at roulette the player needs to predict where the ball will land after each spin. This is by no means easy. In fact, luck plays an important part in this game. Some players go with the winning numbers calling them 'hot' numbers and therefore likely to come up more times.

Others see which numbers did not come up for some time and bet on them believing that their turn is now due. Some players bet on many numbers to increase their chances of winning at every spin, but this way the payout is considerably reduced. Other methodical players use specific roulette systems or methods, money management systems, or both.

Game Play

Playing the game of Roulette is very easy. You place your bets (we will go over all the bets in a moment) and the dealer (or computer) spins a ball on the Roulette wheel. Once the ball lands in a spot, all losing bets are taken away and then winning bets are paid. On the home page of Roulette Information is a picture of a Roulette wheel and ball.
