Online roulette is a very popular game at online bingo sites. A survey taken of British online bingo players a few years ago showed that roulette was the most popular side game at online bingo sites, partially due to roulette's strong presence in movies. Currently online slots have moved into the number one place as the most popular side game at most bingo sites. Roulette can be an exciting game and there are several types of online roulette games.
European roulette is by far the most popular and played roulette game. European roulette wheels have 37 spaces. The wheel has 1 zero and numbers from 1 through 36. The single 0 makes the European roulette wheel different from American wheels which have a 0 and 00 zero. European roulette has a 2.70% house edge while American roulette has a 5.26 house edge. Because of this most players prefer European roulette.
Some online casinos and bingo sites offer live roulette, like BingoHouse. Live e roulette involves dealers and wheels streaming on video. Live roulette can bring the excitement of a land based casino into player's living rooms. There is usually a screen with a live dealer and betting options are relayed to the dealer and casino. Once all the bets are in the dealer will spin the wheel. Some online casinos allow players to chat with the dealer during games adding an extra touch or realism.
There are not many sites offering American roulette. This is because of the high house edge mentioned earlier. Although American roulette may be rare at online casinos some still offer this version of roulette. To make up for the high house edge some online casinos offer bonus payouts to make the game more attractive to players.
Rockin roulette is another interesting version of the game. The game is played using a European wheel but the difference is that numbered balls are shuffled in a glass dome. Each numbered ball represents a number on the roulette wheel and one ball is picked as the winner.
Roulette offers players several betting options. There are two types of bets; inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets are specific numbers or combinations of numbers on the inner part of the table. Outside bets are bets that are placed outside area of the table. There are several free tutorials online that explain the various types of inside and outside bets. Roulette can provide players with hours of fun and excitement and is available at most online bingo sites.
