Playing on-line

With new technologies and the ubiquity of the Internet, has become possible for anyone to play roulette without physically having to visit the casino. The on-line casinos born in the late nineties, that is when the first software producers have begun to make available their games (free) on the network. The news that triggered the boom has been the introduction of software capable of playing graphically the environment of the casino and to generate sequences of random numbers. The availability of broadband (some say it was the on-line game as a catalyst for its diffusion) has also grown exponentially the mass of players. To transform a simple software in a casino on-line, you need a license for operation of gambling, which in the beginning (and still) were readily released from the most slender in tax legislation (mainly Antilles).

Today all you need is a computer connected to the internet and you can choose among hundreds of virtual casinos, play with software that simulates the roulette wheel, more or less similar, more or less legal and more or less reliable. There is a question: a casino is safe? Here you will find a series of articles that will help you do a little light on the phenomenon.

Differences between the real and the virtual roulette

To seriously compare the two possibilities for the player, you need first to clarify that these are two completely different experiences, which reaped many common aspects, technical, practical, and even emotional, but differ greatly in terms of experience game. I do two examples to clarify the concept: What is the difference between seeing a game at the stadium and watching on television? What is the difference between playing football in the park with friends and engage in competitive football with the playstation?

At the beginning you would not have imagined having to write a real parallel between the real and virtual roulette. But times change, technologies change the habits, the Internet reduces the space and then here we are. It is not an exercise to determine which is best roulette, but helps to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both.

We present a table in which we collected and compared a number of issues related to the experience of typical game of roulette. We have deliberately avoided categorizing them into advantages and disadvantages, just as every individual person can interpret the situation. These parameters are: distance, entry, environment, table, chips, wagers, roulette, duration, systems, winnings, other games, payments, responsible gaming.

Roulette is no better than the other, each has its own characteristics that makes choosing the most appropriate depending on the situation. A classic behaviour to avoid is what brings the player - if you encounter a particularly bad combination - to invoke bad luck if it happens at roulette real, and to curse the software if it is rigged roulette virtual.
