Live Roulette

Playing roulette is very easy. The game consists of a wheel with 37 or 38 pockets depending on the variant of the game. These pockets each contain a number. Again depending on the variant, there’s a green 0 and a green 00 pocket. On top of that, half of the other numbered pockets are red and the other half black.

To start the game, a ball is dropped onto the wheel which is spun in the opposite direction to the way the ball is spinning. The objective of the game is for players to accurately predict in which pocket the ball will land when it finally comes to a halt.

There’s a massive paytable next to the wheel and this contains all the different betting options available for the game. This can be anything from betting on the exact number to something much broader, including betting on whether the ball will simply land in a red or black pocket, or one containing an odd or even number.

As live roulette is actually a game of luck, there’s no real game strategy in place that actually affects the game itself. Instead, there are a number of different game strategies players can use to help themselves make their bankroll last.

These strategies include options like the Martingale betting system, Fibonacci or D’Alembert. Each of these seeks to help you keep your bankroll going for as long as possible and earn you wins at the end of it. But, they are none of them fool-proof.

When it comes to playing live roulette, the odds of winning are actually better than a number of other games. However, the actual house edge, and therefore the RTP of the game, actually depends on the version you are playing. For instance, the house edge of a standard European live roulette game is 2.70%.

This jumps up a lot more to a rather steep 5.26% if you were to play American live roulette. This is because on the American wheel there is an additional pocket to contend with when betting.

However, playing the French version with its additional betting rules drops the house edge right down to a very appealing 1.35% making this the best option of the lot. The chances of winning money also depend on the bet you place with inside bets paying out more, but less commonly actually coming to pass.

For the most part, live roulette is relatively straightforward to understand. However, the main issue comes when you are understanding the different bets that are available. The paytable next to the wheel has a number of different options available. Inside bets are those that are on the inside of the paytable.

They are also the ones that are worth more when it comes to payouts. However, they’re also the bets that are less likely to come through in that there is a lower probability that they will land. For instance, betting on a single number. In contrast to this, outside bets will payout a lot more frequently.

Outside bets include even-money bets such as betting on odd/even, or red/black. While these bets are more likely to be successful, the amount of money earned from them is very minimal as they are likely to land.

When playing live roulette there are a number of things to think about especially if you want to get ahead. For instance, the main thing to consider is the version of live roulette you are playing. American roulette is fun, but it does require a lot more luck. With the extra pocket to contend with, all the probabilities of bets are that much higher, meaning it’s harder to get a profit in the long run.

If you’re looking to make a profit, then playing French Roulette is a better option. This version of live roulette has a number of additional bets and rules in place. One of these is the En Prison rule, which means that if the ball lands on the green zero, instead of losing your bet, it’s carried over to the next spin.

Essentially, you get a free go with the same bet that you placed before. In this way, the house edge is greatly reduced. The French version also has the La Partage rule helping this too. Here, if you’ve bet on one of the even-money options and the ball lands in the green pocket, you get half your wager back.

Live roulette is a really fun game to play, partly because it doesn’t really need any skill to enjoy it. Contrary to popular belief though, there aren’t really any strategies you can implement to get ahead.

While live roulette will often display the latest numbers that have landed or project ‘hot’ numbers, none of these can really help you out as each wheel spin is a totally new game with the same probabilities for all outcomes.

Instead, it’s better to manage your bankroll and just sit back and enjoy yourself while the game plays out. It is also fun to be able to interact with other players during a live roulette round, which makes this a much more exciting version than playing one of the virtual options of this game. In short, it’s well worth giving it a go.
