For many a casino player, the lure of the Roulette table is hard to resist, for it is one game that huge fortunes can be won in a relatively short space of time.
Conversely though, being a complete game of chance, the opposite could turn out to be the case when you set about playing Roulette, and if your numbers are not spinning in, you could bust out your bankroll in no time at all.
With that in mind, I will be taking a much closer look at playing Roulette, in any playing environment, and enlightening you on some playing tips and also passing onto you several pros and cons associated with that much loved casino game.
Just be aware of there risks of playing, and always set yourself a loss limit long before you start playing, and one handy tip is of course to set yourself a reasonable winning goal too.
If you stick to your loss limit amount and do have in place a sensible winning goal then you will find you do have some much more enjoyable sessions, and regarding the latter, will often find you walk away from the Roulette tables having locked in a profit.
Roulette Side Bets Have Higher House Edges
You are bound to come across many different variants of Roulette online, and some of the much newer games offer a range of side bets which when placed could see you for example winning a progressive jackpot.
The way such games tend to be designed is that after placing an optional or in some cased obligatory side bet, you will need to see a certain number spinning in a number of times on the trot to then be paid out a range of bonus pay-outs in exchange for that side bet wager.
However, if there is one serious downside associated with such side bets it is that they are not there to favour you the player, they are there to help increase the profit from each table, and those side best always come with a much higher house edge than the base game.
So, the best tip I can pass onto you regarding any Roulette table game offering side bet wagers is to avoid placing them, for they will eat away at your bankroll, much more so if for example the same single number does not spin in a certain number of times on the trot.
Taking Some Roulette Bonuses Can Be a Risky Business Too
When online or mobile casino sites offer you a bonus, which for example could be a 100% deposit match type of bonus, then many Roulette players will jump at the chance of instantly doubling the value of their bankroll and will be eager to take such a bonus.
But when doing so, they are then going to be agreeing to a set of terms and conditions associated with how they can use their bonus credits and often their deposited funds too, and in many cases those terms and conditions mean you are risking any short term wins you make when playing.
Each bonus will come with a set of play through requirements which means you are tasked with playing through your bonuses and/or your deposited funds a certain number of times before you will then be in a position to cash out any winnings.
It is often the case playing Roulette with bonus credits will see the play through requirements being huge, much higher than when you play other casino games, in fact many casinos will not let you play Roulette with bonus credits, and if you do they will void out any winnings, so always check the terms and conditions attached to any bonus offer long before you set about playing, to see if they are favourable to you the player, or not as the case may just be.
Don’t Go “Scatter Crazy” When Playing
One thing I have noticed when playing Roulette in a land based casino, and I am sure you will have noticed this too, is that when one player hits a good winning streak, they will then go what I call scatter crazy.
That state of mind will then see them scattering their chips all over the Roulette table betting layout often pacing huge bets on certain numbers, in the hope they can continue to win and win big.
However, that is often the undoing of many players, for it will only take a few spins of the Roulette wheel or even one for that player to wipe out any and all profits they have made, and they could end up losing a lot more money besides.
As such, if you do play Roulette and hit a winning streak, then do not lose all sense of reality and do not go overly crazy when placing your next set of bets and wagers onto the betting layout, for the next spin could turn out to be a losing one.
Casino Comps Can Be Stingy for Roulette Players
If you are the type of player that looks at casino comps as a way to lock in more value from your gambling activities, then please be aware that the value of the comps you will be rewarded with when playing Roulette will be extremely low comped to many other casino games.
As such you are often going to find you will have to place collectively over a single gaming session a huge amount in bets and wagers to earn any decent value comps.
Having said that though, many online casinos have their own unique comp and loyalty schemes in place, and some of them are much more generous and much more rewarding than others.
With that in mind always be prepared to do some shopping around when it comes to where to play Roulette online in a real money playing environment, for by doing so you will find a handful of casinos, such as many of my featured ones, that do have a decent comp club scheme in place.
