Online Roulette Basics
For beginners, learning to play online roulette is pretty easy. Your first step is to place your bet on a number or group of numbers or even on a color (red or black). A small ball gets thrown on the spinning wheel and if it lands on a slot that has your predicted number or color, then you win. I always bet on either a color or on an even or odd number because my odds of winning are more or less 50%.

The layout of a roulette wheel in online casinos or in land based casinos consists of separate numbered slots that range from 1 to 36. The numbered sections are alternatively colored red and black. In some variations of the game i.e. American and European Roulette game, the roulette layout is different. The American version has an extra slot, the double zero “00″. The zero and double zero is a green slot. The outer boundary of the roulette table is set aside for the various bets that you can make.
