A Short History of Online Roulette

By Seymour Meyers


In 1990, the integration of Internet had slowly becoming a reality for online roulette. There are experimental online casinos that had taken roulette into yet another level. Even the developers of these online casinos themselves were surprised at how realistic betting had become. Nevertheless, online roulette experienced a slight challenge specifically in terms of transferring winnings. Such process took days to complete. Creators addressed this problem by integrating the newest technologies during that time.

Online roulette was offered along with other online casino games in the games portfolio. However, there are also sites that focus solely on this casino game. Either which, online players were suspicious at first, thinking that the online casino operators can actually rig the outcomes specifically of online roulette. Such suspicions sprung from the fact that it took an online casino operator to upload the bets of the gamers; uploading usually took weeks.

The laws had actually made it impossible -- and illegal -- for any online roulette operator to engage in manipulation of the outcomes. The outcomes of this online game are determined by a mechanism that randomly picks a number; an automated roulette wheel is made use of. Heavy fines are imposed. In other extreme cases, the license of the operators will be revoked.

Laws and regulations led to gaining greater player confidence, making online roulette even more popular. While there are sites that provide an opportunity to the gaming public to play roulette in the confines of their own homes, there are still bogus sites but there are only a few of them now. There is an ongoing campaign which advises roulette players in choosing the casino sites that they are planning to register with. You might as well read reviews and testimonials of the gamers playing in that particular site before you register so that you will not be scammed.

There are two kinds of roulette: European and American. European roulette has a total of 37 slots, from numbers 1 to 36 and with 0 as the 37th slot. American roulette, on the other hand, has the same numbers but it also has the 38th slot which is numbered 00. Placement of the table also differs but online roulettes make use of the end-of-the table layout. There are websites that provide both roulette kinds and with such layout. It is already widely accepted that the same wheel layout is used. Of the two, however, players could have a greater chance of winning in playing European roulette.

What is good about these sites is that they reduce minimum bets. Before, bets usually are between 10 and 20 pounds but online roulette operators are charging 10 pence for a chip today. This could be the reason why more and more people are playing online roulette now than before. Likewise, payouts are through electronic checks but online roulette operators have varying procedures and time allowance before any player can get their own money. Online roulette operators mostly offer 5 to 10 withdrawal options.
