All roulette casinos are not created equal. When you consider playing online roulette, you will be forgiven for thinking that the game is played the same in every casino. It's not.
The actual roulette board may look the same, perhaps a different color, but whilst some casinos are a pleasure to play roulette in, others contain lots of little annoyances, which seem to get in your way, or on your nerves at every click.
If you already use one particular casino for playing other games, like blackjack, baccarat or the slots, it's probably very tempting to play roulette with them, because of the convenience factor.
However, you should seriously consider testing out a few other casinos, just to see how playing roulette with them compares. You'll be amazed by the difference in playing options, minimum table bet restrictions and speed of the roulette wheels.
Here are some very important factors you should consider, when choosing which casino to play online roulette in:
1. You must have the ability to adjust the background noise, music and dealer voice.
When you first start playing roulette, having an ambient background noise of a crowd, or some music playing, can be quite fun and help re-create the experience of playing in a real casino. However, after you've been playing the game for any length of time, this background noise can become very annoying.
Likewise, hearing the dealer call out each number after every bet can also start to get on your nerves. So, as you can imagine, having the option of being able to turn off any noise is a must.
What's also important is the ability to turn off some audio elements and leave others on. For example, you might hate the background sound of a crowd, or the music they are playing, but you might find it very helpful to hear the roulette dealer's voice.
Look out for a roulette table that gives you the maximum flexibility with the sound options.
2. This is a big one - as a regular roulette player, one of the things that really frustrates me, is watching that roulette wheel spin round for what seems like an age, before it finally comes to a halt.
When I used to be on a dial up connection this used to be even more of a pain, because it used to take even longer. I use broadband now, but it's still very time consuming to wait for the roulette wheel to finish spinning.
Of course, if you are just going to spin the wheel a few times for a couple of fun bets and leave; the whole spinning the roulette thing is all part of the experience you are looking for.
This is why it's important to be able switch the table 'animation' on or off.
3. The roulette table must 'play fast'.
Even if you are just about to play roulette for the first time, I'm sure you won't appreciate having to wait a minute for every play to complete.
Most people playing roulette follow some kind of system. This might even be something as simple as betting on 'black', after every occasion that 2 reds come in consecutively.
Even with such a simple system like this, it does take time for the opportunities of betting to come around. The last thing you need is to have wait 5 or ten minutes or more between each bet. It will just ruin the whole experience for you.
At the end of the day, roulette is supposed to be fun isn't it? Sitting there waiting for a bet opportunity to come up, can be a bit boring. Which is why a fast playing roulette table, is probably one of the most important things you want, when playing roulette online.
Turning the animation off will help to speed up play. But even with the animation turned off, some roulette casinos are so much faster than others. So look around and test the speed of the tables in different casinos.
You might have a roulette system that requires a number of spins before you can bet. When following a system like that, you could save yourself many hours of roulette playing time, just by choosing the right casino, with a fast playing roulette table.
4. You must have the ability to spin the wheel, without placing a bet.
Again, if you are using a roulette system to place your bets, you probably don't want to have to bet on every spin. You might want to wait until a certain sequence comes in before you do anything.
Having the ability to spin the wheel, and track the numbers without having to bet is a must. Otherwise, all those silly bets your placing while your waiting for the real opportunity, is just going to eat into your profits.
5. Multi currency facilities.
If you live in the States, this option is not very important, but if you live elsewhere you really should be playing roulette in your own currency. Many casinos now give you the option of depositing and withdrawing money in your own currency. This will save you a lot of money on currency conversion charges, which basically puts you at a loss before you start.
So be smart, and look for a casino that accepts your currency.
