Roulette is one of the most popular casino games today which is preferred by most casino games players rivaled only by Poker. Today most of the online casinos offer number of live casino games which one can play by registering with them once and for all. Roulette is definitely at the top of their list in all such casinos. The modern technology has advanced even further by providing online live roulette where you can see a real roulette game by video streaming bringing it directly to your computer. Here you can participate in the game as well and have the pleasure of playing in a live casino directly from your computer sitting at home.
What today we know as live roulette is a product of many changes which was brought around in the game over the years to emerge as a most popular form of casino games. Roulette means 'small wheels' in French where it was first introduced in 18th century. There were numbers from 1 to 36 on the wheel. The spinning of the wheel and popular betting techniques left little profit for the casinos. To have an edge over the players the casinos introduced another slot which had zero in it. Now even if you bet 'inside' or 'outside' you lose the bet if the ball falls on zero. This gave a huge advantage to the casinos.
Now the wheel had 37 slots with zero included. The casinos started making good profit giving it an edge over the players. The popularity of the game in spite of this introduction remained intact. In fact the players found it more challenging to play with the new slot as they were ready to take up the ways to win and find new strategies.
Today what we know as online live roulette is not much like what it was traditionally and many new rules and variations has been introduced. The most popular variations are European Roulette and American live roulette. Online European roulette is played with numbers 1 to 36 with another slot for 0. Online American roulette has numbers 1 to 36 plus two slots for zero- 0 and 00. This was done to give more house advantage.
European roulette on Internet is more popular as the house advantage is low in it. Players are more comfortable to play it as they have a better chance of winning. American roulette when it was introduced in US, it raised the house advantage with the introduction of another zero. This definitely did not affect the game's popularity. To day many people prefer to play the online American version as it offers more challenge. They like to find new strategies to beat the house and maximize their winnings.
