Most people would agree that roulette is a random game. The ball spins around the rim and randomly drops into one of the numbered slots on the wheel, right? Wait just a minute. Although I would agree with that statement, I wouldn’t be so fast to say the game is completely random. The fact is, there are non-random patterns we can detect within a random game. So then, just how random is roulette? Let’s take a closer look.

One of the non-random patterns exhibited by roulette is called the law of the third. Let’s use a double zero roulette wheel for example so we can see how this applies. A double zero roulette wheel has 38 pockets on it. There is 1 through 36 and of course the 0 and 00. So, all things equal, if we spin the ball 38 times, each number should hit 1 time. But we know that isn’t going to happen. So then, what exactly would happen in those 38 spins? There would only be between 24 and 27 number that would hit, leaving the other 11 to 14 numbers, or 1/3, without a hit. That’s the law of the third in action. This will happen on any roulette wheel anywhere in the world.

Another example of the law of the third in action would be on the 11:1 street bets. The roulette layout has 12 streets. Thus, if we spun the ball 12 times, we would expect that approximately 1/3 of the streets will not hit. Sure enough, in 12 spins you will see that around 9 of the streets will hit.

Try this for yourself the next time you go to the casino. You will quickly see that the law of the third holds true. I’ve seen a lot of the methods people use at the roulette table chasing the numbers around the wheel trying to exploit the law of the third, but the fact is, you must approach such patterns with a solid plan of attack in order to beat the wheel.

Is Online Roulette Random?

I’ve been playing roulette in casinos for years now – I’m not sure why I enjoy it so much but probably because it’s not as intense as some of the other casino games and it seems to encapsulate the fun and glamour of the places. Recently my friend was actually surprised that I play roulette on the internet as he asked me is online roulette random?

Well for a start, it can never be truly, completely random online – that is because the casino wheel and the game is controlled by a computer program and all the events and spins are generated by a deterministic device called a computer. Computers have always had a big problem with generating random – the problem is that you have to tell a computer exactly how to generate a random anything. The simple fact that you have to instruct the computer how to generate the random event means that it can never be completely random. A spin on a roulette wheel is subject to a myriad different events which can affect the result -

  • The speed at which a croupier spins the roulette wheel
  • The speed at which a croupier spins the ball
  • Both the above partly determine the distance the ball spins
  • the starting point of the wheel
  • The angle the croupier spins the ball into play

These are just a very small proportion of the factors that can affect the final landing position of the ball – there are many thousands of others. If you asked a croupier to spin a certain number on purpose he couldn’t without some outside intervention – there are simply too many variables. To achieve this level of random number generation on a computer for online game is extremely difficult – there are of course ways of linking a computer program with some sort of external advice like a microphone, light meters or anything connected to the physical world which can break the computer out of its deterministic path but the underlying code and algorithms have to be sound in how they interpret this information.

Anyway returning to our question on whether online roulette is actually random – I think my friend was really asking whether he could be sure to get a fair game. The simple fact is that an honest casino will always win money – they have the odds in their favour and don’t need to cheat – in fact practically the only way a casino won’t win is if it gets a reputation for dishonesty. If the wheel and result is not influenced in any way by the casino – then the pseudo random generation of the spins should ensure a fair game. All the major casinos are regulated and checked so best advice is to pick a decent sized company and you’ll be fine. But if you are still asking yourself is online roulette random then you can always play a live casino, there are one or two decent ones but easily my favourite is below.

It’s an online casino but it’s a real time game set in a casino in Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin. You play a real game in a real casino alongside all the other punters. Even the free game is wonderful fun as you can see all the other players and their bets – to try it click here -

The game of Roulette is very popular in casinos worldwide and as a popular game has one of the lowest winning percentages for the player. However it is possible to win at Roulette with proper strategy. In fact, with the advent of online gambling casinos that feature the game of Roulette it is now even possible to WIN money from them. In this article I will describe the ultimate strategy for beating online Roulette games.

To understand how the player has more advantage in an online Roulette game than a Roulette game at a real casino one must understand random number generators. Since there is no actual, physical roulette wheel picking the numbers for an online casinos, these online casinos must create an artificial randomness only possible through a random number generator.

For most argument’s sake, random number generators do just what their name implies – they pick seemingly “random” numbers. However, the computer program has very real limitations in that it is not completely random. The computer program, in attempting to be truly random can become predictable. For example, at a real Roulette table at a physical casino, the chance of hitting a RED number is equally as likely as hitting a BLACK number even if the last 20 rolls have been RED numbers. There is no memory in real life randomness, however…

With online casinos and random number generators there is a memory and so in the example above, after 20 RED numbers having hit, there actually would be a greater probability or liklihood of hitting a BLACK number, unlike in a real casino. This is a serious flaw, and in truth casinos don’t want people to know this although there is nothing illegal about exploiting this flaw.

Using this flaw and some simple strategy it is possible to quickly and consistently win money from online casinos playing Roulette. There are many different strategies, but the ones I would recommend are playing the colors, playing odd/even or playing 1st, 2nd or 3rd set of 12 numbers.

Let’s say you decide to play 1st, 2nd or 3rd set of 12 numbers. Watch the record board (this is the board that shows the history of what numbers were hit as well as the color). You want to pick a set of 12 numbers (1st, 2nd or 3rd set) that have not been hit in the last 7 or 8 rolls. Obviously the longer the set has gone without a hit the better because the liklihood of it being hit increases, but this will depend on your patience and bankroll. With smaller bankrolls, you will have to be more patient at first and go for a sure thing, maybe waiting for 8-10 rolls without a hit on a set to pick that set.

This strategy is the best way I’ve found to beat the Roulette table (online anyways) and I believe can be used to win players money consistently so long as they have patience and don’t play a set too soon. Note, it’s also possible to play the colors or odd/even and you would use the same strategy. The only difference is the payout is 2-1 instead of 3-1 that comes with the sets.

One final note, be careful when choosing online casinos as many are fraudulent and run from countries where they are not regulated.
