Roulette Games
Roulette is one of the most popular casino games, so it makes sense that with the growth of on-line casino play, roulette has established itself among the favorites of virtual casinos too! However, there might be more versions of popular Roulette around than you ever dreamed possible...
Live Roulette
An increasing number of on-line casinos are finding that the closer they get to offering a 'real-life' experience, the more popular these games become. As a result, one of the most popular on-line versions of roulette are the live versions. These involve live-streamed action from a casino, which allows on-line interaction and betting from players. In high quality versions of the game, players can customize their play screen to the extent that it's like having a personalized table and can use a zoom facility to closely track the ball and betting action.
The croupier and the action are all real-time and (again, if the software quality and connection facilities are good) it can also be possible to "chat" to the croupier or have games which also involve other players.
Standard Roulette
European Roulette certainly has the popularity edge, mainly due to its lower house edge! However, American Roulette is the other standard roulette format that you will see in most on-line casino.
French Roulette
Played with the European 37 slot wheel, French roulette is increasingly popular with those who like the thrill of the "en prison rule" which sees you have extra fun when that 0 comes up! The French roulette table is distinctive, because it also offers an extra betting grid which looks a little like a 'race track', to facilitate neighbor betting and call bets.
Three Wheel Roulette
Quietly gaining in popularity across the on-line casino community, three wheel roulette uses just one European wheel, and one ball to be spun (not three separate ones) but there isn't just one numbered reel inside the wheel -, there are three! Basically this treble game offers just that: you are betting on the ball landing on a slot that indicates a combination of three numbers. The betting involves placing three chips on the table: one chip for each wheel.
Classic Roulette with Selection Bets
This is another version of French Roulette, because it involves an extra 'race track' of additional neighbor betting as part of the play option.
Double Spin Roulette
This version is based on the very early versions of American Roulette which has the addition of the American Eagle slot on the wheel to earn a bonus for the house. However, most on-line versions of this include this extra slot as a bonus slot, winning the player extra spins to increase winnings.
Roulette Royale
Another popular version of the standard European style roulette, with the Royale status reflecting the additional progressive jackpot which runs along as a side bet. A separate bet must be placed on this though, as well as the chosen table bet, for players to stand a chance of winning the jackpot in addition to winning their spin bet.
These are only a few of the most popular versions out there! Don't forget that most on-line casinos will offer their own 'house' roulette table which could be a slight adaptation to one of these, as well as offering the most popular and classic versions. There really is something for everyone out there!
