Many people start playing on a roulette table, both online and in brick-and-mortar casinos thinking that they will be able to divine a system to help them success against the roulette wheel and always walk away with a winning.

Sadly, this is a misguided belief and many, many years of experience have proved the point to successive generations of professional players.

All is not entirely in vain, however, as there are some factors that need to be considered to increases your chances of success on the roulette table as much as possible.

When looking to find success on online roulette tables, the first thing you need to make sure of is the kind of table you are playing at.

You will have a choice of European Roulette or American Roulette.

The European Roulette table has 37 individual numbers that you can place a bet on. 1 through to 36 and the 0.
The American Roulette table has 38 as an extra number 00 is added.

This has a significant impact on your chances of success as all casinos, on and offline, operate with a 'House Advantage' which always ensures that on average, the house will always make a profit. They have to make a return, after all.

All casinos will only pay 35 to 1 on any win where a bet on an individual number on table is a success.
With European Roulette, this difference between the payout and the odds of success gives the house a 2.7% advantage. The use of the additional 00 in American Roulette increases this house advantage to 5.4%, reducing your chance of success on the roulette table by the same amount.

You should always, therefore make sure you play on a European Roulette Table. Most online casinos offer the choice as do some brick-and-mortar casinos.

In the case of brick-and-mortar casinos one theory, which does seem logical, is that of 'Croupier Signature'.

The theory says that over time a real life croupier will, through character, muscle strain and the natural inclination of the body to prefer repetitive movement, will overtime be more likely to spin in such a way as to render particular numbers more likely to win. It must be said that this theory has never been proven and since most casinos will change the croupier every hour or two, even if it true, would be minimal on it's impact on the success of any player at the roulette table.

Certainly 'Croupier Signature' will never have any affect on online roulette success.

The fact that there is in fact very little that can be done to find or create any advantage for success on the roulette table, the first and main reason anyone should consider playing roulette is for the sheer enjoyment of the game. Financial success is a bonus. If you feel you are losing more bets than you are winning, it is probably best to accept the fact and call it day rather than chasing after a big winner which for all you know, may not be for you today.

Playing at an online casino is a thrilling and exhilarating experience for new and old players. Each time you log into the casino you will learn and benefit more from it.

While there is no getting away from the fact that there is a large element of luck and chance in playing the roulette tables at a casino, there is a rule, applied slightly differently in American and European Roulette worth taking a look at that can increase your chances of winning.

Casino Roulette is a game, at its core, of statistical probability. On this basis it is possible to a special rule to increase your chances of winning against the casino and making the roulette table pay.

The odds for all bets are generally fair. The chances of red or black coming up are 2 to 1 and the odds you receive are indeed almost 2 to 1. The slight difference, known as the House Advantage is brought about by the 0 square, or 0 and 00 in American Roulette. This House Advantage ensures that offer a period of play, the casino will always make some profit. In American Roulette, this advantage is double that of European casinos and/or tables.

Some casinos offer a rule, often known as ”Surrender”, which reduces the house advantage by half if an evens bet is placed and the ball falls in 00. This rule is only used when playing on an American Roulette table as Eurpoean Roulette does not have the 00 pocket.

A special rule sometimes applied by casinos to European Roulette is called ”En Prison”.
It is a good idea to look for a casino playing this rule.

Where the ball falls in the 0 and you have an evens bet – black/red, high/low or odd/even, then rather than the house taking the bet off the table, it remains in play for the next spin. It must remain there for the next spin, but it gives you another chance of a win.

Neither of these rules affects the amount a winning bet will pay and don”t really increase your chances winning. Rather they decrease the effect of House Advantage when you are playing an evens bet. The rule won”t make a great difference to the amount you might win, or lose, as the probability of the ball falling in the 0 pocket in European roulette or the 00 in American is still very low. Add this to the fact that both only apply when you are playing evens bets and the effect is minimal. If you are a very frequent player, it is, however, a little something to give you a slightly higher chance of having a better period of play.

If you play an online casino, we recommend the online slots game. However, if the casinodoes not support slots games, you can pick another online casino.

Finally, it all boils down to the fact that there is little that you can do to create or find any advantage over the house on the roulette table. That is why they always say, the main reason anyone should be considering playing roulette is for just for the sheer enjoyment of the game. Financial success is, of course, a bonus.

As both rules reduce the House Advantage by half, not all casinos, on or off-line, will play them so always be sure to check before you play if you want to play using them.
