Roulette is a fast., fun and easy game of chance

Roulette is the ultimate game of chance. A staple of nearly every casino in the world, players can now play the game from the comfort of their own homes. OnlineVegas.com's American roulette is a good place for a novice to play and get comfortable with the ins and outs of the game.

A female voice instructs you to "place your bets" as soon as you enter the game. Unlike the land-based roulette, all bets must be placed before the wheel is spun. A player's odds depend on where they bet. For example, a player gets 36:1 odds if he or she bets "straight up" (a single number). If they bet a "split" (two numbers), they get 18:1 odds. Betting either red of black gets 1:1, as does betting odd or even. All the bets are self-explanatory and there are numerous options for players. But again, all bets must be made before the wheel is spun, and before the female voice says "no more bets please." Then the wheel is spun and a ball is spun in the opposite direction. Once the ball loses momentum, it falls on a number. That number is the winner.

Roulette is one of the easiest games to play in a casino. A player can learn almost instantaneously. And the game can get quite exciting, especially with a lot of money on the board. So if you're looking to up your heart rate a little bit, swing on by OnlineVegas.com's American roulette.
