Online roulette NZ

What are the available roulette types you can play?

Throughout history, there were several types developed, according to the country where it was played. Since we are concerned with New Zealand gamblers, we will explain six standard versions of online casino roulette games that you can play, regardless of where you come from. Don’t be surprised to see more versions on the Internet, but these described are the most played in New Zealand.

• European roulette

This is the most desired type, and one of the most played versions in New Zealand, as it features the classic rules. European roulette is played with 37 numbers (36, plus zero pockets) and all the numbers are colored in black and red, while zero is green. One thing that distinguishes it among other versions is that you can bump into the progressive jackpot in some cases, but that depends on the casino you are playing in. also, all chips that players use have the same color. Generally speaking, chances of winning are the highest in this type of roulette as it has only a single zero pocket.

• American roulette

Unlike the previous one, American roulette has the standard 36 numbers colored in red and black, plus zero and double zero pockets that are colored in green color. Speaking about the table layout, you could see that the numbers on the wheel are not in the same order as in European. The extra double zero pocket greatly decreases the chances of winning. Each player uses the set of chips in different colors, and there is no progressive jackpot in this version. Although players sometimes prefer the previous versions due to the lower house edge, it is still one of the most authentic versions you will ever play.

• French Roulette

The term comes from the French word, and it means “little wheel”, so it is natural that this game has its own variation in the country where it originated from. The French roulette uses the same table as European, with the difference in the table layout. It has 36 numbers, plus a single zero, where the numbers are colored in red and black, and the zero is green. Notice also that the order of numbers is slightly different than in the previous two versions and also the section of outside bets is a bit displaced when compared to the previous ones.

• Premier Roulette

This is a bit modernized version of the online roulette for real money that features the same table layout as the European. The game was developed by the popular online gambling software provider Microgaming, and it became the trademark. It uses the same rules, the same table layout and the same house edge percentage as the European version. An essential distinction is the “Chip Bomb” type of bet, which lets you place a bet on a number and numbers that are around it. In addition, the layout of the game is a bit different, as there is no split screen that shows separately the wheel and table, but rather in one screen.

• Multi-Wheel roulette

The multi-wheel roulette is another version that is highly played in online casinos, and it is not so common in land-based casinos. The main difference is that you are able to spin up to 8 wheels in a single bet, but you cannot place bets on the separate tables, which means if choose to bet on 8, it goes for all the wheels. It supports also inside and outside bets and uses the European rules. This is recommended to the experienced players who know how to develop and use the strategies.

• Double Zero Roulette

Many online roulette NZ casinos offer this version, which highly resembles the European and French ones. However, it features the double zero slot (38 numbers in total), which is somehow placed separately from other numbers on the wheel. It has the same house edge as the American version, so we could say the house has a slight advantage over the players. The players love to play this version as, depending on the casino, can offer some side bonuses that are specific to certain gambling houses.

The best strategy for roulette

The roulette strategies come in handy when you decide to enjoy real money roulette, as they can help you to obtain huge wins if applied correctly. Although there are many strategies out there, for the sake of this text, we will explain briefly the three most used ones. Here are the three most popular strategies:

• The Martingale strategy
• The D’Alembert Strategy
• The Fibonacci strategy

The Martingale strategy

This strategy revolves around the doubling your initial bet and covering your loses in one win. For example, place $4 on a red number and if you lose, place $8 on the same number. Repeat the process until you win ultimately and erase loses. If you win, you start again with the small wager, as the key is to start with small amounts of money in order to “stretch” your budget before making the profit. The main problem with this strategy is the “fallacy of probability”, meaning that if a red show 50 times in a row, no one can guarantee the next round will be black, as the roulette chances for winning are 50/50. The strategy works best for high bets.

The D’Alembert Strategy

This is a bit safer technique to play roulette, as you do not need a fat bankroll to follow the strategy. It starts usually by placing a small bet on a color, or a range of numbers (1-18 or 19-36), and if you lose, increase the bet by one. Let’s say you place $5 bet and you lose, so you bet $6, and you lose again, so you place $7. If you win, you decrease do $6 and play until you have the even number of gains and losses. The biggest problem if this strategy is knowing your wins and losses, so it is not a bad thing to use a paper and pencil.

The Fibonacci strategy

This is maybe the most interesting strategy that you can use to play, and it should be incorporated in every single roulette tips handbook, but do have in mind that it requires a decent amount of money to just start with it. With this system, you can easily cover your loses, even if you have had more loses than wins. Pick a number you want to bet on and write down a sequence of numbers, for example, 3,4,5,6,7,8 and place your first bet that is $3 and if you lose, the next bet should be $7 (as you add 3 and 4) so if you lose again, the next bet should be $12 (7+5) and keep it in that way until you win. If you win, decrease the bet by the two numbers back and continue. The biggest downside of this strategy is going too far along the sequence of numbers you wrote down as it can cost you a lot, but you can cover yours loses very quickly.
