The roulette is one of the greatest favorites of all times both in online casinos and offline casinos. The roulette comes in three major types – the European Roulette, the American Roulette and the French Roulette. Among these the American roulette is most common in the West and even in Europe.

The Roulette game is easy to understand and learn and with the right strategy you would end up winning more than loosing. Of course in online gambling a lot depend on luck as well; however, you will observe that luck is easier to court when you are armed with the right information.
The roulette here is played on a wheel with 38 compartments; these compartments are numbered 1 to 36 plus there are two other slots denominated as 0 and 00. You will find that the numbers are printed on the inside of the wheel on alternate black and red colors. The 0 and the 00 are the only numbers which would be found on green. There is a small ball within that wheel which would drop into any of the slots when the wheel is stopped after rotation. The roulette rotates anti-clockwise.

The Betting Styles & Strategy

There are two ways of betting in roulette – the inside betting (total six) and the outside betting (total five); together there are 11 different types of bets you can make with a roulette.
