I was really overjoyed to discover a few months ago that you can actually play live roulette online. I love the game and have played in Casinos all over the world from New York to Monte Carlo and yes I do know its not the best odds to gamble on but for me it’s by far the most enjoyable. Actually to my circle of rather dodgy friends I am probably regarded as a font of knowledge of one thing and one thing only and that is online roulette and casinos.

In my opinion there’s simply no better game and if you can dress up smartly , go to a glamorous casino with a few hundred bucks to throw around there’s no better feeling, and yes pretend your James Bond for a few hours with a martini. In fact generally this is the problem I have with online casinos, a complete lack of atmosphere yes they are often very well done and there are some fabulous variations – I quite like the 3 wheel variants you can find in many casinos, but the problem is that you still feel like you’re playing a computer game. Although I’m sure none of the online casinos I play roulette in cheat you’re still at the mercy of a computer algorithm at the end of it. When you put your stack on odd and the ball lands on even you’ll be cursing the computer and not lady luck. This is why I was so overjoyed to find out that you could play roulette online and completely live. Anyway before I tell you about that I want to make sure that anyone who tries gambling in an online casino for the first time avoids these mistakes.

Pick your Roulette Wheel

There are two main types of roulette wheel, the French or European Wheel and the American wheel. The number distribution on them is slightly different but the important point is that the American Wheel has an extra zero. This makes a huge difference to the house edge, the advantage the house has over you, always look for a single zero and never ever touch a table on the internet that has two zeros.

Try your Casino out

Whatever your game, most online casinos have free games to try out the software. It’s always worth having a quick go on these to check the rules and make sure you understand everything. But if you find yourself winning very easily, I urge you to find another casino online, if they can manipulate the payout levels of the free game to entice you in I simply woudn’t trust them.

Never gamble when drunk

Please don’t do this, roulette is a fun game but with any form of gambling you need your wits about you. The online roulette game I’ll show you shortly will demonstrate the effect of alcohol on your average punter. Seriously though don’t play drunk you can get reckless and end up losing a bundle and betting more than you can afford. Play roulette make some money walk away then get the beer in!

So OK I promised to tell you about this casino where you can play online live roulette. It’s called Dublinbet and you play at a real casino, in real time via a videofeed from a Casino in Fitzwilliam Street in Dublin. I’ve put some stuff about it in the link below but it’s the most fun I’ve had in ages the free game is even fun as you can watch all the other players and what they’re doing.
