Strategy:
- Volumes have been written about this classic casino game, so I'll leave the real strategy discussion to the experts that have written books on the subject.
- Play at a table where there is only a single zero (European Roulette) rather than at a table that had both a single and a double zero (American Roulette) because the house advantage is smaller at a single zero table.
- Money management is an important element of playing this game, so set your win/loss limits before you play.
Online Play: There are many online sites that offer roulette. You can try roulette risk-free by utilizing the free, no-deposit welcome bonuses that are offered at many sites; if you decide to play for real, then be sure to play at a site that offers an initial deposit bonus of at least 100%.
