Are Online Roulette Games Fair?

An online roulette game is not as fair as it seems. Firstly, the house edge – the percentage of profit that the casino makes on all bets – is significant. In most cases, it is about 2%.

This means that for every £100 wagered, the casino will make £202 in profit. This figure rises to around 5% for high-end roulette games.

Secondly, there is the issue of ‘blackjack bias’. This refers to the fact that roulette wheels are biased in favour of the house, in that they are designed to give larger payouts to bets on black than any other colour.

As a result, it’s often easier for a player to make a bet on black than any other colour, which artificially inflates the house advantage.
