The Roulette is one of the most practiced gambling games without doubt in the world (precisely the European Roulette), introduced in France around the XVIII century but already previously practiced in other forms in the rest of Europe.  

There is a wheel divided in 37 sections (38 in the American roulette) that turns, a little ball is launched by the croupier in the opposite direction of the rotation of the wheel and you need to guess where the little ball will stop.  

The sections are numbered from 0 to 36 (from 0 to 37 in the American version), in which the zero is the colour of green, and the other numbers along the wheel are alternatively coloured red and black, not in an orderly way but fixed.   

The roulette game is completely casual, no true ability is in demand, and therefore it deals with a real gambling game.   

The roulette is available live in all the casinos, both in the French version and also in the American version.  

We now try to focus the attention on the available roulette in the online casinos, such as the well known and loved Electronic Roulette.   

The online roulette - Electronic Roulette   
The online roulette, also known as electronic roulette, is the reproduction through software of various versions of the roulette game.  

The function is the same, rather than to be a croupier that launches the little ball, the throwing is simulated by a program. A generator of casual numbers guarantees the casualness of the extraction and therefore the thrown result.
