Brief History of Online Roulette

By Seymour Meyers


In 1990, the integration of Internet had slowly becoming a reality for online roulette. There are experimental online casinos that had taken roulette into yet another level. Even the developers of these online casinos themselves were surprised at how realistic betting had become. Nevertheless, online roulette experienced a slight challenge specifically in terms of transferring winnings. Such process took days to complete. Creators addressed this problem by integrating the newest technologies during that time.

Online roulette was offered along with other online casino games in the games portfolio. However, there are also sites that focus solely on this casino game. Either which, online players were suspicious at first, thinking that the online casino operators can actually rig the outcomes specifically of online roulette. Such suspicions sprung from the fact that it took an online casino operator to upload the bets of the gamers; uploading usually took weeks.

Nowadays, online casino games are regulated by different laws and regulations thus all the doubts of the gamers are gradually being erased. These laws made it impossible and illegal for online roulette operators to manipulate the outcomes of the game. Outcomes are determined by a device that randomly picks a number. An automated roulette wheel is usually used. Heavy fines are imposed to those who will be caught rigging the game. In extreme cases, the license of the operators will be revoked by the authorities having jurisdiction.

These laws actually lead to gaining greater confidence among the gaming public which makes online roulette even more popular. Because it is online, the players are given the opportunity to play online roulette in their own homes. However, there are still bogus sites. In response to the laws, these sites are being eradicated through campaigns. An ongoing campaign about properly choosing an online casino where you can register with was already established. Read reviews and testimonials about an online casino prior to registering so that you may not be scammed.

Moreover, you may encounter two kinds of roulette, European and American. The former has 37 slots with numbers 1 to 36 and 0 as the 37th. The latter, however, has the same numbers of slots but there is also the 38th slot which is the 00. Table placement differs but online roulettes generally use the end-of-table layout. There are online casinos that offer both European and American roulettes, using this layout as this is the most widely accepted layout today. Of the two, however, players would definitely have a higher chance of winning in playing the former.

Online casinos, further, had already reduced the minimum bets as well. Bets are usually between 10 and 20 pounds before but today online casino operators are charging 10 pence per chip. This is another reason why online roulette is played by more and more people. Also, the mode of paying out may have also contributed to this. Winners are paid out using electronic checks. Nevertheless, each online roulette operator has their own procedures and time allowance before a player can have their own money. Online roulette operators mostly offer 5 to 10 withdrawal options.
