Live Roulette

Roulette is one of the most commonly known of all casino games. It is also the most popular of all gambling games and has players coming from all over the world. Whether it is a real time casino or an online casino, this game is the hands down top revenue source. In an effort to give online games a more authentic look and feel and to provide players with a better playing experience, a version of the game known as live roulette has recently been introduced. This version features a video feed of a live casino floor and a real time dealer dealing the game. This not only increase the playing experience and brings it closer to the real casino environment but also allows players a higher level of interaction during the game. In addition, in place of random number generators (RNG), players are now allowed to play under real time probability rates. Live roulette has gained popularity since its conception and it is headed upward each day with more and more players showing interest and moving to such tables instead of random number generated tables.

Contrary to popular beliefs, this game has a number of strategies along with rules which can increase one’s winnings in the game. Depending on the type of the table, a roulette wheel consists of 37 or 38 slots with the numbers 1 to 36 on each slot along with a zero on the European version of the game and a zero and another double zero (00) in the American version. The presence of the 00 on the American tables increases the house advantage on such tables and it is the primary reason why players prefer to play the European version more often. The house advantage on a table is 5.26% on the double zero table and 2.7% on the European variation. The odds of hitting a number are 37-1 or 38-1 on an American game. Still, there are strategies and ways which can help you increase your payout and make the most of a session on the table. The most important thing though is to know and understand all the rules of the game along with the payouts offered by the casino on different kinds of bets. In general, the worse the odds are for the player, better is the payout and along with the house advantage, this makes proper strategizing a must in this game, even if you play on a live roulette table or an online game. The D’Alembert betting system is an example of a betting strategy which can be employed in order to improve the odds of winning money in a game.

Apart from the American and the European versions of roulette, there is also the French version which employs attractive rules such as the ‘en prison’ rule and the ‘la partage’ rules which together help in reducing the house advantage below the 2.7%. Knowing and understanding the rules and regulation along with the odds is of the utmost importance in winning at a live roulette table or any other form of the game as well.
