Live Casino Roulette

If you close your eyes and imagine a casino, chances are that the first game that pops into your head is roulette. Roulette, in various forms, has existed in online casinos since the first casino opened its digital doors in the nineties. A mainstay of land-based casinos, roulette is a gambling go-to for players the world over. The speed of the game, the sound of clashing chips, the whir of the chipping machine, the thrill of a live dealer dollying your number - these are just a few of the reasons players choose roulette as their game of choice. Meaning little wheel in French, roulette is considered an evolution of the Italian game, Biribi. First devised in 18th century France, most historians credit Blaise Pascal for introducing the roulette world to the masses as he searched for a perpetual motion machine. Dating back to 1796, the roulette wheel then went intercontinental and found a home in the German spa town of Bad Homburg where the green-eyed monster - aka the single zero - was introduced. By the 19th century roulette had captured the imaginations of Europe’s gambling circles and was garnering attention stateside, where the double zero was introduced. Today, people play roulette the world over, including the thriving online roulette UK community.

Roulette Strategy Focus: the Martingale System

As a game of pure chance, roulette was seemingly exempt from strategy with no opportunity to tip roulette odds in your favour. Until the 18th century that is. The martingale system is a betting strategy developed in France, around 1842. Most roulette players view the martingale roulette betting system as an extension of the St. Petersburg Paradox, a betting system designed for the St. Petersburg lottery.

The premise of a martingale is simple: players double their wager after a loss when playing the outside bets (High/Low, Odd/Even, Red/Black).

Mathematically, as outside bets represent a 50/50 chance of winning, and with a doubled-up bet, the first win will theoretically cover all previous losses, along with the original bet for the round.

It looks good on paper but the martingale technique is based on the premise that the player has infinite wealth. Sadly, most players’ bankrolls aren’t that of an ousted American president or a hedge fund manager, so the technique, unfortunately, falls down here.

You could enjoy an anecdotal run of wins using this technique, but there will be no useful data backing up your claim. The most important thing to remember while gambling is to play within your means and not chase losses. For more information on how to play live roulette, see our online guide.
