A casino without roulette can not be considered a real casino. Roulette is such an integral part of the casino experience that it would be considered a flaw if a casino decided to drop it from its repertoire. This being the case, it still seems as if roulette is less played than other casino games online. Is roulette merely a wall paper or do people actually play this game?
Who plays Roulette?
Online there are basically two forms of roulette to choose from. One is the American roulette and the other, the French European roulette. The difference between the two is that an American roulette wheel has 38 numbers while the European has 37. Players bet on what number and color a little ball will end up. The wheel spins one way and the ball goes the opposite until it drops onto one of the numbers.
There is a rumor that Albert Einstein said that “You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.” If this is actually true it would seem that the person who plays roulette either isn’t too smart or just not in it for the money. It would appear that the last is true as many play roulette. There are websites dedicated solely to the discussion of roulette bets and there are numerous places online for free roulette. Playing roulette for free would make Einstein’s comment less relevant but if he truly made this comment it was a long time before the internet made such gambling possible.
Today people play roulette for fun and they are of all ages and categories. There are regular players who mostly play video games and slots but every now and then make a tour to the casino roulette table and there are beginners who feel more secure to start with this fairly known form of gambling. The game is so popular that it can be found in gadget stores for people who’d like to have their own home version to entertain guests with. Roulette is truly a game for all and perhaps this is a reason that it has such a wall paper feeling to it.
The Future
One roulette form shining with its absence online is the Russian roulette. This is most likely since Russian roulette traditionally has been played with a gun and the looser ends up with a bullet in his head. To replicate this online would be both illegal and very difficult but surely the form could find an online way of being played.
The Russian roulette online would offer a huge amount of prize money for the right number and a wrong number would mean a kill of the player’s complete account merging it to the roulette pot. While this might attract players who like to take risks it also might cause the casino to loose regulars after a few kills. Whatever form the Russian roulette will take online it would sure spice up this casino section and take some of the wall papers taste out of it.
