The live roulette wheel has been at the center of studies for 100's of years now, find out more information on the characteristics and ideas behind it by reading this informational article.
The roulette wheel, a marvel combining technology and intelligence, has captured the fancy of the gamblers for many years. What appears to be a simple system actually contains an intricate arrangement of numbers placed in a manner that ensures that as well as providing random results, it always falls in the casinos favor.


Essentially, the wheel is a large-ish bowl with slanting walls falling towards compartments large enough to only hold the marble, as it comes to rest. The pockets, or sections, are colored black and red alternately. Only the '0' pocket is of green color.

The randomness of the live roulette wheel is more or less attributed by the arrangement of the figures around the roulette wheel. However online roulette wheels use a piece of software called a Random Number Generator which determines where the ball ends up landing.

The RNG software used in online casino is not much different from the RNG chip used in slot machines. This generates many pseudo-random numbers every second and when required, they are extracted. They are then turned into end-result using certain rules that determine the odds for that game. This is how randomness with expected odds is generated when playing an online casino game.

A question often asked is the difference between American and European roulette wheels. The answer is that, they are different but the difference is only slight. European wheel is numbered from 1 to 36 with an extra slot for 0. American wheel on the other hand has an additional slot '00'. This meas that the odds of winning are slightly reduced on an American wheel.

American Roulette Wheel
The arrangement of the numbers placed on an American roulette wheel is such that the odds of the ball landing on low, high, even and odd numbers are equal. The green colored zero and double-zero are on the opposite sides while the other numbers are evenly distributed and colored different alternately.

In English and European casinos, there is an option called the “en prison rule”. Using this rule a gambler, if he gets a 0, can either give up a half of outside wages or leave them for the very next game.

Live Roulette
You should always ensure that when playing roulette online that you are gambling at a reputable casino with a certified random number generator. You can of course avoid all of this by playing live roulette online at sites like liveroulette.co.uk which allows you to watch the dealer spin the wheel live on your screen, creating a great playing experience for all.
