Roulette has not changed all that much in all the years it has been enjoyed by UK players. While the actual rules have not changed, because roulette can be played online it means that UK players are able to play at their convenience. Gone are the days of having to go down to an actual physical casino, and then waiting around for a spot to become available at a roulette table. UK players can literally login at any time of the day or night, and start playing.
Even if you only have enough time for a single spin, this is no problem at all at any of the top online casinos in the UK. The basics of online roulette are really quite simple. Players must place chips on the numbers where they think the little white ball will come to land. There are all types of bets available, but it is up to the player where the chips are placed on the roulette table. The casino dealer will then spin the roulette wheel, add the little white ball, and as the wheel starts slowing down, the ball will come to rest in a numbered slot.
Players are then paid out based on what bets were placed. So there is some decision making to be made in terms of how many chips are bet, and also where the chips are placed. But where the little white ball comes to rest is completely down to luck.
Because some bets are much easier to win than others, obviously with differing odds that reflect this, the game has something to offer both new players as well as those who have been enjoying the game for years and years.
All Types of Online Roulette Bets
There are two main types of bets when it comes to online roulette, and these are inside bets and outside bets.
The most obvious inside bet is called a Single, and in this bet a chip is placed directly on a single number. In a split bet, the chip is placed on the line between two numbers, either in a horizontal or vertical direction. A player gets bonuses if the ball lands on either of these two numbers. In a street bet (called with same name at NZD casino), the bet is placed on three numbers that are next to each other in a single horizontal line.
A Corner or Square bet sees a chip being placed on the intersection between 4 different numbers, and in a similar way, if any of the numbers is rolled, the player is paid out. Some of the most popular outside bets include placing a chip on whether you think an odd or an even number will be rolled, or a red or a black number.
A column bet is placed a single column of numbers, giving a player the chance to win if any of the 12 numbers in that column is rolled. Obviously some bets are far riskier than others, and so the betting odds will reflect this. At the end of the, it is completely up to the UK player to decide how much they want to bet, and whether they want to go for the big win.
