Online Roulette at Refuel Casino
Online roulette continues to enchant casino players more than three centuries after the game was first played.
At the heart of its allure is the game’s simplicity, but as online casino has evolved, so has the number of roulette tables and variants available.
At Refuel Casino, there are dozens of roulette tables to play at available 24/7, including real live dealer roulette.
Before you play, check out all you need to know about online roulette.
What is online roulette?
There are two kinds of online roulette – roulette, where you play a computer game complete with animations, and live roulette, in which a video link streams live-action with real croupiers to your device.
Whichever you decide to play, the user experience is similar. Take a seat at your chosen roulette table, place your bets, then watch the famous roulette wheel spin.
The ball is released, and when it stops in a pocket, the winning bets are revealed and winnings paid.
For example, if you bet on number 28 and the ball lands in pocket 28, you win. All roulette wheels have 36 numbered pockets coloured in red or black, plus a 0 (and a 00 on American tables).
You can place a wide range of bets on online roulette. Common bets include red or black, specific numbers or number combinations, odd or even, and rows of 12 numbers.
How to win online roulette
Have luck on your side! All online roulette games use a random number generator (RNG), making every spin of the wheel and subsequent result random.
Live roulette uses an actual roulette wheel manufactured to the highest quality. These wheels are regularly recalibrated to ensure fair play and prevent flaws.
There is no way to ‘beat’ the roulette wheel. You just need some luck on your side. One tip is not to get caught up in watching the sequences of numbers that have come before and use them to inform your betting.
For example, if red has come up six times in a row, red still has the same chance of coming up again, even though you may think black is ‘due’. Previous results can’t predict future results.
Similarly, if number 4 came up, the chances of number four coming up again next are the same as any other number.
Playing at a European roulette table gives you better chances of winning than at an American roulette table. The house edge nearly doubles on the latter because there are two green zeros instead of the one that is on European roulette tables.
Try exciting roulette variants like Lightning Roulette at Refuel Casino. Here prize multipliers mean you win up to 500X your stake every spin.
What are the best strategies for online roulette?
The best strategy is to play responsibly. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of roulette but always keep an eye on your bankroll.
Before you play, set yourself a loss limit and a reasonable winning aim. If you reach your loss limit, stop. If you hit a lucky streak and find yourself above your winning target, then stop.
You will read a lot about roulette betting systems online. Here are the most common ones – just be aware all of them have flaws!
Martingale betting system – This dictates that you should bet only on roulette wagers paying even money. If you lose, you double your stake until you win again. Then you reset your limits and continue the same way – doubling your stake every time you lose.
In theory, you will always cover your losses as well as make a small profit. In reality, you will hit a long losing streak where you either run out of money or exceed the table limits.
Fibonacci betting system – Stick to even money bets and increase your stake after every loss according to the famous number sequence which goes like this – 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21 etc. Some strategy articles say you should start on the second 1 of the sequence.
Every time you win, you move two numbers back. If you fall off the sequence, you are ahead and should stop.
Like the Martingale system, the Fibonacci has merit, but a long losing run will destroy your bankroll, you will eventually hit table limits, and you are risking ever increasing amounts for a small return.
James Bond betting system – Not a long-term strategy, but it can be fun if you are planning just a short visit to a roulette table. You will need to play in multiples of 200, though, so it’s expensive (and doesn’t guarantee a win).
First, bet 140 on the Hi line numbers 19-36, then 50 on the line bet 13-18, and 10 on zero. This strategy results in a win 68% of the time. However, you lose 32% of the time.
Other popular roulette strategies include the D-Alembert, the Labouchere, and the Reverse Martingale.
