Roulette is a classic casino game and is often used as a symbol to epitomise the gambling lifestyle.

The spinning roulette wheel is a familiar feature of the casino floor, with gamblers placing bets on where they hope the ball set in motion by the croupier will land.

But nowadays there are a range of ways in which gamblers can indulge their passion for placing bets on roulette without ever having to set foot in casinos.

One option is to play roulette online via an internet gambling site such as Ladbrokes or William Hill. Many big name bookmakers offer online casinos which feature a virtual roulette wheel, allowing users to place their bets online.

Many people new to the stakes game of roulette find that online gambling is a great way to familiarise themselves with the game, its rules, and possible betting combinations – allowing them to gain confidence before venturing into ‘real’ casinos to try their hand at roulette in the flesh.

Online betting sites also offer new users incentives, including free bets and stakes matching to encourage them to spend on that site, which means that news users can benefits from a number of bonuses.

Another way for gamblers to play roulette from the comfort of their own homes is by taking part in interactive television roulette featured on cable, satellite and freeview channels. In this game a real roulette wheel is spun by a croupier presenter and bets are placed over the telephone. Players must register in order to take part in television roulette.
