Roulette - Online Game

The term "Roulette-Gambling" is derived from a French word meaning small RULETTE wheel. The origin is not very clear. While some sources state that Blaise Pascal, a 17th Century French mathematician invented the wheel, other sources state that the game originated in China and was brought to Europe by Dominican monks who were trading with the Chinese. During the late 18th century these wheel became very popular when Prince Charles (ruler of Monaco at the time) introduced gambling to Monacco as a way of alleviating the financial problems of the region. However, the modern version of the these wheel did not appear until 1842 when Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blanc invented the single "0" game. The game was eventually brought to America in the early 1800s. However, the single "0" modification was rejected in America and the two zeros "00" where returned to the game wheel. The R0LETTE wheel gained a great deal of popularity in America during the California Gold Rush. Read More...

The House Advantage

Nearly all online casinos have just one zero. Don't play on two zero tables because the house advantage gains significantly. However, assuming you are playing a single zero table then the house advantage is 2.7%. This is reduced with most casinos (but not all) if you play outside the numbers area (ie. red/black, odds/evens, and high/low). In this case when zero drops in you only lose half your stake, the other half is returned to you. Or sometimes you will neither win nor lose and your stake is left on the table for you to do with as you please.

These rulette rules cut the casino advantage in half and so there is only a 1.35% house advantage. Read More...
