How to Play Virtual Roulette/ August 2006
Most of us have experienced the thrill of playing roulette and if we haven't, we've seen glamorous images of people playing roulette in exotic places like Monte Carlo and Macau.

If you are not jetting off to Monaco tomorrow then you can pretend you are in a James Bond movie and play virtual roulette instead. The money you save on the airfare will give you some extra gambling cash!

There are many online casinos offering virtual roulette to play at, so play a few rounds in the free mode to see which casino you are most comfortable in.

When you have found a virtual roulette wheel to play out, be aware of which variation the casino uses. You can play virtual roulette the American way or the European way. They are practically the same but the American way offers and 00 and 0 slots and the European just 0. Because there is one more slot on the American virtual roulette wheel the odds aren't as good as playing on the European wheel.

There are a number of different bets you can make playing virtual roulette. The first is a straight bet. This is made when you select a number. The odds of this bet are 35-1. This will give you a great return if your number comes up but chances of that happening are slim. The second bet is even money bet, where you can choose to bet on red or black, or odd or even numbers. This will pay out the same amount that you wagered. The odds of you winning are great put the payout is minimal. You can also bet even money on number 1-18 and 19-36 for the same odds.

When playing roulette it is best to be consistent and not change your number all the time. Virtual roulette is a game of luck and eventually something will come up.

Roulette is great fun to play and there is no real element of pressure, as not so much concentration is required and the level of skill is nil.

By far the best thing about virtual roulette is we can all pretend to be James Bond or an exotic Bond femme fatale and more importantly when playing online nobody will see if you don't look so hot! So take a sip of that Martini and get playing!
