These days, you’ll find a roulette wheel in every casino. Roulette and casinos have become so intertwined that it’s now impossible to imagine one without the other. There’s no game quite like roulette, which is undoubtedly a large part of its appeal. With its fine balance of strategy and fun, roulette, and more recently online roulette, has won the hearts of millions of people all over the world since the four centuries it has been in existence.
The exact history of roulette is unclear, but it’s believed the game originated in 17th century France, where the mathematician Blaise Pascal is thought to have invented it. In his attempts to create a perpetual motion machine, he ended up making the precursor to the roulette wheel, and so the game was born. Roulette has since gone on to become one of the most popular casino games ever. It has taken several forms and been enjoyed by many cultures in a multitude of countries. Now, it’s with online roulette and live roulette that you see its most recent incarnations.
While there are hundreds of variations of this classic table game available, the overall design of the roulette wheel and its basic rules are more or less the same today as they were in the 17th century. Online roulette remains a game of chance where a ball is dropped into a spinning wheel with numbered pockets, and wins are made based on where in the wheel it lands. The rules of roulette may seem complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it you’ll see that it’s actually a very straightforward game to play.
There are many different strategies that have been developed to increase a player’s chances of winning at roulette, most notably the Martingale strategy, the James Bond strategy, the D’Alembert strategy, and the Fibonacci strategy. With these strategies, you can learn more about playing the odds of the game. In the meantime, though, it’s a good idea to get a basic understanding of online roulette first before jumping in at PlayFrank.
For all you newcomers to the game of roulette, here are some of the basics on how to play this popular casino game. Read on and let’s get the ball rolling at PlayFrank.
Players must first place their bets on the roulette table before the game can begin. Bets can be placed on red or black, even or odd, a single number, or a combination of numbers. Players can continue to be place bets as long as the ball is not yet inside the wheel.
The dealer will then spin the ball on the outside rim of the roulette wheel. Wins will be paid out based on which pocket in the wheel the ball lands in, after which new bets and a new round can get underway.
There are so many different versions of online roulette and live roulette it can be hard to know where to start. If you’re a beginner, it’s advisable to try out a few free online roulette games first before moving on to betting with your own money. You’ll find these practice sessions invaluable when you actually start playing for real, because once you’ve you mastered the rules, you’ll realise just how easy online roulette is to play.

One of roulette’s many selling points in that, statistically speaking, your odds are better and therefore your chances of winning higher than many other popular betting options such as horse racing.
That being said, the odds will depend on the particular version of roulette you’re playing. At PlayFrank, players in New Zealand will have access to all the classics, including French, European and American Roulette. As soon as you’ve registered with us, you can play any of the fantastic online roulette and live roulette games we offer in free-play mode or for real money.
European Online Roulette is played on a 37-number wheel, with the numbers coloured either red or black, or green in the case of the single zero. At PlayFrank there are three editions available: low limit (NZ$0.10 - NZ$5), normal limit (NZ$1- NZ$40), and high limit (NZ$25 - NZ$500).
With the French version, there are a range of inside bets, outside bets, favourite bets and special bets permitted. Played on a single wheel with 37 pockets, French Roulette features the half-back rule.

The three editions available are: low limit (NZ$0.10 - NZ$5), normal limit (NZ$1- NZ$40), and high limit (NZ$25 - NZ$500).
Unlike the European and French wheels, the American Roulette wheel has a second green coloured slot with double zeros on it. As with the previous two versions, there are three editions available at PlayFrank: low limit (NZ$0.10 - NZ$5), normal limit (NZ$1- NZ$40), and high limit (NZ$25- NZ$NZ$500).
With regard to online roulette, regulations in New Zealand require that all wheels must be entirely random and fair.
