Today I am going to be speaking about the rules of online roulette. It surprises me how many people play the game without understanding the rules properly and this is never a good thing when you are playing for real money.

First you need to know about the different forms of roulette. The first roulette game is American which is obviously played in America. American roulette has the biggest house advantage which is 5.13%. This is because there are two green slots.

Another form of roulette is European. This is the same as American roulette except there is only one green slot. This means the house edge drops to 2.56%. This is because it is the green slots that cause the house edge.

Then there is French roulette. This is the least common online roulette game and that is because it has the smallest house edge so the casinos would rather keep it away from you. The house edge is only 1.13% with French roulette because when the ball lands in the zero slot you will get half your bet back if you are betting on any of the outside bets.

If you are going to play online roulette it is in your interest to find a casino that offers French roulette because as you can see it offers the best odds. Most casinos don’t offer this because they prefer it if players are playing the American game.

An understanding of the payouts you will receive for the bets is also important. Any bet that is won on the even bets will give you a return of 1.1. This means for every dollar that you bet you will win one dollar back plus your original bet.

The probability of getting a column in each individual spin is around 33% so the payout is $3 for every $1 wager. It is also the same with the dozens as they are basically the same as the columns.

You will find that the less probability of a bet showing the higher the payout. However it is important to remember that there is no such thing as a magic bet with roulette, no combination of bets can overcome the house edge.
