Important Tips While Playing Roulette Online

History

The casino game of roulette was first played in France in 1655 and has become extremely popular worldwide. Historians claim that the reputed French physicist and philosopher Pascal invented the roulette cylinder which was used for the Roulette Wheel in offline casinos. Initially, French roulette had the numbers 1 to 36, one 0, and one 00. After the Germans started playing the game, they introduced their own version of the game which only had a single 0.

Different Types Of Roulette

French roulette has 37 numbers from 1 to 36 and includes only a single 0. The main difference between the French version and other versions is the amount that the player will lose if the ball lands on zero, and an even number bet has been placed. In the French version, the player will lose only half the amount he has bet.

European roulette has 37 numbers from 1 to 36 and includes only a single 0.

American roulette has a total of 38 numbers, from 1 to 36 and 0, 00. Hence the possibility of a gambler winning at American roulette is slightly lower.

Compatible Devices For Playing Online Roulette

Compared to other casino games, which are fairly complex, the rules for playing roulette are far simpler. This makes it one of the most popular games for online casinos, especially for those who are new to playing casino games. Based on the number of gamblers who are interested in a particular version of roulette, many online casinos are offering only a Desktop version or a version for various operating systems. For example, American Roulette is extremely popular, and it can be played on almost all electronic devices, like laptops, desktops, smartphones, and tablets while the online version of French roulette is only available for computers for some casinos.

Playing Roulette For Free

Online roulette players can be broadly classified into those who are playing the game for fun, treating it like any other game, while there are more experienced gamblers who are playing roulette for real money. There are many free online roulette apps and websites which are extremely popular among players. It is important to check the popularity of a particular app before downloading the free app since the more popular apps are likely to be tested more extensively and are less likely to have malware. The player should ensure that the roulette apps do not have any malware or backdoors since mobile phone operating systems are not very secure.

Playing Roulette For Money

Many online casinos have only a limited number of casino games for their mobile apps due to security and other considerations, and roulette is usually one of these few games. Unlike most websites that are available worldwide, there are many limitations on online casinos, especially in the United States. Many casinos and casino software providers cannot be accessed by people living in most areas of the United States due to legal restrictions. The online casino has to block players from the United States, usually using their IP address. It is also advisable to check the money settlement features, deposit, and cash-out options for winners, and how quickly the winner can cash out. 

Reputation

While playing roulette games for money it is important to check the reputation of the casino. This is because there are many casinos that sometimes refuse to pay a person who is winning a jackpot or a large amount at the casino. While at an offline casino, the prize winner who is not paid, can initiate legal action easily, for an online casino it is more difficult to initiate action against the casino for not paying the winner. In most cases, for online casinos, the vast majority of the casino players are not from the country in which the casino is registered, so initiating legal action will be more difficult and expensive. There are instances where some of the larger casinos have refused to pay the winners of a large amount, giving flimsy excuses, so players should check if the casino is blacklisted.

Different Types of Casino Software

Another consideration while choosing a specific online casino for playing roulette, is the casino software being used. While there are a large number of online casinos owned by different companies, many of them are using the same software and have geographic limitations. The software company determines which casino games like roulette are available for various devices since security levels are different depending on the operating system installed. They also determine the rules for playing roulette, the odds that a player will win a game, and the table limits. It is important to read the rules before playing roulette online.

Software Used In Online Casinos

While the design of the Roulette Wheel, roulette ball, and force are applied to determine the winning number at the offline casino, online casinos simulate the offline casinos in deciding the winning number using random number technology which is abbreviated as RNG. There are multiple tools used to ensure that the winning number is completely random, like the Merseinne Twister and Microsoft RNG library. Extensive testing is carried out on the online roulette software to check the game logic before it is released using automatic testing methods and manual review.

Fraud Prevention While Playing Roulette

Since there is a risk that a free online roulette app, may steal valuable information from a smartphone using the flaws of the Android or other OS, there are more precautions to be taken while playing roulette games online with real money. There is a possibility that the casino software is rigged so that some players will not make any money, increasing the profit of the online casino.  Hence it is mandatory that the casinos and casino software providers conform to the rules of the gaming commission. This ensures that the rules are fair, and all players have an equal chance of winning at the online roulette wheel. Some casinos and casino providers have earlier changed the rules after a player won a large amount, to avoid paying the winning amount, and these casinos are blacklisted.
