Online Roulette

Online Roulette is one of the most entertaining games in online gaming. The classic roulette wheel can change your fortunes in a single, 36-to-1 spin, and the simplicity of simply betting red or black makes it one of the most accessible games in the casino.

But how do you get started? And what do you need to know to be successful? Our simple, five-step guide will teach you all you need to know about how to play online roulette.

Five Steps to Playing Roulette Online

1. Learn the Roulette Wheel and Table

To get prepped for a roulette session, you’ll want to start by learning about the iconic roulette wheel itself. A roulette wheel has 36 red and black squares numbered 1 to 36, as well as two green squares marked 0 and 00.

After bets are laid, the wheel spins clockwise while a white ball, the marker, is sent spinning counter-clockwise around an upper track. The square the white ball lands on determines the payouts for that round, or spin.

The roulette table sits next to the roulette wheel, and on it you’ll find a tile corresponding to every square on the wheel. In addition, there are sections like 1-18, Even, and Red and Black, that are used for placing other bets. The roulette table is where bets are placed on each spin, and the roulette wheel is what determines the outcome of each spin.

2. Pick an Online Casino

Roulette is popular internationally, so there are thousands of websites offering roulette games of varying quality. The best online casinos offer appealing gameplay, fast and reliable payment processing (so you can cash in your winnings), and a fair gaming guarantee.

3. Learn How to Place a Bet

Once you have your bankroll set up, playing roulette can be as simple or complex as you like. The act of betting is very simple. On the right, you can select the denomination you’d like to bet on each spin. Once you have, click the individual tiles on the roulette board that you’d like to bet on for the next spin.

Once you’ve laid at least one bet, click spin. Cross your fingers while the white ball finds its place on the wheel, and see if you’ve won! Depending on your bet, roulette offers some of the best odds in online gaming, so there’s a good chance you won!

Speaking of bets…

4. Understand the Types of Roulette Bets

The roulette table offers a variety of ways to bet on what the outcome will be on a certain spin, and each type of bet comes with a different payout.

In general, there are two types of bets: inside bets that involve betting on the numbers in the center of the roulette board, and outside bets that count as bets on several different squares on a single spin, for reduced payouts.

For reference, take a look at the table below of the types of bets available on a roulette table.

5. Learn About Roulette Strategy

Roulette is a universally appealing game because very few strategies apply. That said, there are a few keys to keep in mind:

All Bets, All the Time

One spin can payout many different bets many different bets at the same time. For example, if the ball lands on 5, a red number, that spin would pay out bets on 5 (36 to 1), 1st 12 bets (2 to 1), 2 to 1 bets on the middle column (2 to 1), 1-18 bets (1 to 1), Odd bets (1 to 1), Red (1 to 1), and any other inside bets on or around 5.

For that reasons, you can try lots of different things with your bets on a single spin. You might place a bet on 16, Odd, and 19-36 for a single spin. Just remember: each bet is unrelated to the next, and represents another part of your bankroll being risked.

No Two Spins are Related

A common mistake made while playing roulette is assuming any two spins are related. They’re simply not. Bettors have a tendency to think that if five straight spins have landed on black, that the sixth is more likely to be red.

Nope. Each spin is its own gambling event, completely unrelated to the ones before and after it. Plus, with Golden Spins’ fair gaming guarantee, you can rest assured that any pattern you observe is the random fluctuations of luck, and nothing more.

With the bets, wheel, board and strategy all worked out, you’re all set to start playing roulette with Golden Spins!
