Why Play Roulette Online?
So, you've discovered the charm and sophistication of roulette. Something about that little ball spinning around the wheel, leading you to your fortunes, just mesmerises you. Or maybe you've over-dosed on Casablanca, and want to be part of that oh-so-chic, oh-so-dangerous milieu. Or maybe, just maybe, you've concocted some rather far-fetched notion about the wheel of fortune-and we don't mean the game show. Whatever the reason, you want to play roulette-maybe you just like the idea that the House Does NOT Always Win.
So, now that you've decided you want to play, the question is, how do you play? Obviously, there's what we might call the traditional method-hop into your car, drive to a casino, and play. Thing is, though, that that often seems like, and is, too much effort to invest. You might not live in an area where gambling is prevalent or even legal, for instance. You might not have the time, money, or inclination to visit a 'real' casino-you might just have picked up the idea of playing roulette, and have no practical experience of gambling, in which case the very idea of visiting a casino is likely to be fairly intimidating. You may have one of a million reasons-each eminently reasonable-for not wanting to visit a brick-and-mortar casino in order to bet on a roulette wheel. But you still want to play.
So, what do you do? You might decide to dismiss the idea as an idle fantasy, and choose to just get on with your life. Maybe that's a good idea. After all, roulette might not always mean the odds are stacked against the individual player, but it is still a game of chance, there are still risks. And a few years ago, that's what you would almost certainly have had to do-there weren't any options, after all. Sure, there were some games available online, but they didn't even try to match up to the standard of 'real' roulette, and certainly couldn't impart even a fraction of the thrill of playing the game-it simply wasn't worth it.
Now, however, the picture's rather different. And we're talking both literally and metaphorically, here. The days when all you saw of your online game was a hand of cards, or a rolling wheel, are long gone, and even the 3d 'dealers' are history. Live online roulette employs webcasting, and human dealers, and the image and sound evokes the atmosphere of the casino, all while you're sitting snug at home.
Further, choosing to play roulette live online means that you're afforded a lot more choices-it's unlikely-unless you drive to Las Vegas - that you'll be offered as many options in real life; but live online roulette is hosted by a multitude of sites, and you can pick and choose.
Perhaps the real question is, why not play roulette live online?
