Give it Up for Online Roulette

Okay, like, for serious people, why am I not hearing more about online roulette game sites? I hear all about online poker, slots, progressives and blah blah blah. But what about roulette? Don’t hate it because of the French name, love it because it is one of the most fun games to play at an online casino! American or European roulette doesn’t matter – roulette, as a game, is where it’s at. Sure I might as well be crying out to an empty room when I go to some websites, but come on – let’s live it up thanks to roulette games, my friends!

Hey! Roulette fans! Make your voices heard! I’m hearing disturbing rumors that online casinos haven’t updated some of their roulette game offerings in a while. Is this true? I can’t tell the difference one way or the other. Someone help me out with this! I want to play the most up-to-date online roulette games. This is because the most up-to-date games are at websites that are regularly updated too. The benefits of only playing a roulette game at such sites should be obvious!

Roulette online live dealers

Online gambling is a real late night fetish of mine ever since I’ve discovered the wonders of live dealers. There’s actually a person there somewhere, not necessarily a Las Vegas Indian but real anyhow, just waiting for your bet and then actually spinning the roulette and random the right number

Gimme some progressive jackpots

Yeah alright im hooked. A buddy of mine plays online casino poker at a certain site but man, all you have to do is gimme some slots and a bucketful of patience- and it will pay off in the end, and has. I admit I haven’t won millions yet, but if I would have a dime for every time a got a complimentary free spin- I would have many dimes. I’m not the only one hooked I’m sure; where else can you wager so little and get such a huge payout? Not in roulette and blackjack –let me tell you that much. The reason being they don’t have a progressive jackpot where you can win on a single bet. I’ve been told time and again that slots have a worse house edge than most table games so here’s the reason why I play it anyway. For example take a $500,000 progressive jackpot, which could be won with a $1 bet. The odds of winning, considering a 90% payback rate and a house edge of 10%, are 50,000,000 to 1. If the machine is spun about one million times a year, the casino will probably pay up every half a year. Now, compare that to blackjack with a house edge of 0.5%- so if you buy $100 in chips and bet $5 at a time then only after a few years will you reach $500,000. The odds of achieving this though would be about 10,000 to 1, which is still better than the odds in the slots example give above. The reality is that this never happens, but it can with slots, even with worse odds. The average person can play slots and make $500,000 from $1 wager, but even the luckiest blackjack player will needs thousands of winning hands at a low wager amount. Just thought you should play slots a bit more, poker is SO overrated.
