Golden Casino Palace Roulette

Welcome to the Golden Palace.com Roulette section. Here you may become familiar with the game, learn the rules of play, and even pick up some intelligent strategy to use during your stay at the table. Roulette is not a difficult game, but can be a bit intimidating for novice players, and should certainly be reviewed before being wagered on.

Roulette is recognized worldwide as a symbol of gambling, regardless of the fact that it has never gained substantial popularity in North America. The reason for this lies in the fact that the American public was presented with a slightly different game than the Europeans, including an extra zero on the wheel. This additional zero raised the edge of the house so much that interest in the game never took off. In Europe and other parts of the world, classic single zero roulette has remained one of the most popular games available.

With the advent of Internet gambling, roulette was initially introduced as the North American double-zero game. Proprietors soon realized though that with competition online, locality was no longer an issue, and players could simply search until they found a single-zero roulette wheel. Fortunately this search is now a short one, with Golden Palace Online Casino offering a high quality single-zero roulette game for both free and real money play.

... Frequently Asked Questions

GoldenPalace.com is pleased to answer your frequently asked questions about roulette. If you have a question that is not addressed here or elsewhere in our roulette section, please contact us directly by e-mailing roulettecontact@goldenpalace.com.

Frequently Asked Question #1
If one color has been coming up a lot, are my odds better by betting with it or against it on the next round?

Answer:
Your odds do not change regardless of whether you choose to bet with the color or against it. Roulette is a game of independent events, where one spin has no effect on the outcome of any other spin. What appear to be patterns actually have no affect on the probabilities associated with the available bets. The chance of hitting red or black on any given spin is always a consistent number.

This is sometimes difficult to believe, because we have likely all experienced runs of red or black numbers on the roulette wheel. Statistically though, it is not unlikely for such a run to occur; in fact there is an expectancy to it. Runs of red or black numbers are just as likely as runs with alternating colors.

Frequently Asked Question #2
Is there a difference between betting on a combination of numbers and betting on the same numbers individually?

Answer:
If you bet $4 on a split bet that covers four numbers, your expected outcome is equivalent to betting $1 each on the four numbers you're covering. Splitting your bet over the numbers is only beneficial because it is convenient, and it allows you to place multiple small bets if you wish to.

Frequently Asked Question #3
Can you beat the house by starting with a table minimum bet on an even-money spot, then doubling-up after every loss and returning to the lowest level when you win?

Answer:
This is commonly referred to as the 'Martingale' betting system, and has been discussed at length in many forums of gambling discussion. The Martingale system does offer a high likelihood of netting a small profit, but pits that likelihood against a low chance that you could lose a major amount. The flaw in the system revolves around upper table limits. If you happen to start into a losing pattern where you are doubling your bet each time, the amount you are betting after a few short losses in a row grows rapidly. Eventually you reach the upper table limit and can no longer recover all of your losses with a win on the next spin. If a player is unlucky enough to lose a number of times in a row, the potential losses are usually seen to greatly outweigh the potential wins.

To Play European Roulette:

Click on a chip of the desired value to select it. Then click on any bet area on the table to place your bet there. Every click on the area adds one chip of the selected value to the bet. Select another chip if you wish to increase the bet by another amount. Right clicking on the area removes one chip of the same value as the selected chip, or the entire bet if the selected chip is greater in value than the bet placed. You can place several chips into several different bet areas at the same time.
Click Spin to set the wheel spinning.

Notes:

All different betting options and corresponding payouts are explained in the European Roulette Rules section.
