FOR DISCUSSION: Another Casino Game - The Online Roulette

Roulette or known as the "small wheel" in French

Have you ever seen or played roulette game before? It is a “gambling game in which the players bet on which slot of a rotating disk a small ball will come to rest in.” (Answer Corporation 2010). Well, there is no certain background for the roulette games too as there are different theories from different sources. However, it is known that it began due to the invention of the roulette wheel in 1655 by the famous mathematician, Blaise Pascal. After the modification of the wheel in 1842 by two French - Francois and Louis Blanc by adding in the number 0, the roulette game starts to rule in the gambling world (Associated Content 2010).

There are different type of roulette games but those often played online are the European and American roulette. Let us have a brief explanation about the roulette game play. First and of course what you need is money to place the bet. While what and where to bet, please refer to the diagram below:


Slot available for the bet:
  1. Numbers between 0 to 36
  2. RED or BLACK color
  3. ODD or EVEN number
  4. First or Second 18 numbers
  5. Rows-
    • Small (1-12)
    • Medium (13-24)
    • Big (25-36)

After the bet is placed, the roulette wheel starts to spin. If the ball hit and matches the numbers, color or slots same as the bet, then the money goes to the players. Simple isn’t it?

Placing bet on the slot

According to Staples (2010), online Roulette is ranked higher than other gambling games because it is popular and easy to play. Besides that, it involves less thinking and no players’ rivalry compares to other gambling games. For example, every player can bet on the ODD or EVEN slot which gives them higher chance of nearly 50% to win the game. Furthermore, some of the professional uses the “Law of Average” theory to beat the game. By looking at the number appeared previously, they calculate and estimate the probability of the next number that going to appear which boost their chance to win the bet.

So? Are you ready for the game?

    Although it seem to be the gambler had equal chance of winning in the online Roulette but I still won’t play this game online because the issue of reliability, security , addicting and the winning ratio according to calculation of the Standard deviation of playing Roulette. Firstly, I would be worry whether the result of the online Roulette can be rely upon or not. Although there are website that provide Online Casino Rankings in overall service and reliability but when I search the internet , there are still many complain by various user such as problem of violation in terms and conditions , Trigger Number Scams, Casino Bonus scam, and etc. naturally all these complain discourage me to gamble online. Other than that, the security issue such identity been stolen, credits problem, privacy leak, online transfer legal concerns, Casino Information Sharing , Credit Card Info and others.
    As for the issue of addiction, I also afraid become too addicted to the game because time fly by quickly in the online world and if no one around to warn me then obviously I won’t know how much I lose until my credit limit reach maximum.
    The most important factor would be whether I can win and earn money. There are many people that said there are gambling software to win but is it true ?. in my opinion, it would be lying to yourself if you say yes. Even the famous Albert Einstein said that "No one can possibly win at roulette unless he steals money from the table while the croupier isn't looking”. Even the calculation shows proof that it is quite true because Every spin in roulette is an independent of all past events so according to the calculation of the Standard deviation there are high chance of losing in long run.
    Therefore , I won’t play online gambling unless I want to lose money.

    Hi Alan, gambling is sure a simple thing to do. However, in my opinion, luck is one of the important winning factors too. No gambler can say that they can win without luck.

    As for myself, I do play virtual Roulette and honestly, being a player without skills or luck, I can hardly win. Its really a tough job to win! Losing the game, fortunately, they provide some free virtual money for me, just to attract me to join the club.

    Although so, I must say, I am hardly ready to join the club and pay some of my money to join and play the game online. Why so? Its because I am still a newbie in the Roulette world and I dont think its worth it to "invest" my money in it. I must admit though, I am not really interested in Roulette too. :)
