History[edit]
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Roulette is a Rock and Hard Rock Band from b'Asbury Park, New Jersey'.
The group originated among friends at Sutton High School for Boys, including guitarist Peter Thorp. Originally called the Strangers, they were seen by publicist Leslie Perrin, who recommended them to Adam Faith's manager Eve Taylor. Faith was looking for a touring band that would enable him to perform similar music to that of the beat bands then emerging from Merseyside. Renamed as the Roulettes, the band - then comprising Peter Thorp, Martin Blackwell, Tony Burgess and John Roberts - first performed with Faith at the Royal Albert Hall in September 1961.[1]
The group toured widely with Faith between 1961 and 1963, with several changes of personnel, and recorded one unsuccessful single for Pye, 'Hully Gully Slip'n'Slide'. By early 1963, the group comprised Thorp (guitar), John Rogers (bass), Bob Henrit (drums), and Russ Ballard (guitar and keyboards). They recorded a lengthy series of short 15-minute shows with Adam Faith for Radio Luxembourg. John Rogers was killed in a car crash in May 1963; he was replaced by John 'Mod' Rogan, previously of Hartlepool group the Hartbeats. They began recording with Adam Faith - who had previously recorded with session musicians - for the Parlophone label, and their records were credited to 'Adam Faith with The Roulettes'.[1] They enjoyed a run of charthits in the mid-1960s, including the UK chart hits; 'The First Time', 'We Are in Love', 'I Love Being in Love With You', 'If He Tells You', and 'Someone's Taken Maria Away'.
They also recorded in their own right for Parlophone, recording several early compositions by Chris Andrews, though none of their singles reached the charts. Their only album Stakes And Chips was released in 1965 with similar success. As well as backing Adam Faith on record, they accompanied him on tour until October 1965, most notably backing him on a 'Live' album.[2] Early in 1967 they joined the Philips Fontana label but still the charts eluded them, although they toured Europe until later that year when the group split up.[3]
Band members Russ Ballard and Bob Henrit went on to join Unit 4 + 2 formed by original Roulettes' member Brian Parker (on whose 1965 number onesong, 'Concrete and Clay', they had both previously played); the two would later also become members of rock band Argent. In addition Ballard had later success as a soloartist and songwriter, whilst Henrit became a renowned session drummer and also replaced The Kinks' long serving drummer Mick Avory in their later years.
Adam Faith's song 'Cowman, Milk Your Cow' was written by Bee Gees members Barry and Robin Gibb on which the Roulettes (Ballard, Rogan and Henrit) played, Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green also played guitar on the song.[4]

Roulette is a popular New Jersey online casino game. This is because it is easy to play and can return big wins when luck strikes. There are a few roulette variations in New Jersey.
All online casinos spread American and European wheels. Some also spread some interesting felts with unusual bets.
Best New Jersey online roulette
Many roulette players do not realize how different one table may be from another. It is not just the number of zeros on the wheel. Some online roulette games use European rules. This is known as la partage. When that rule is used, the house edge for even money bets drops in half. That is because a red/black, odd/even or high/low bet has half returned to the player when the ball drops on the green zero.
The best roulette game at New Jersey online casinos is European Roulette. This game has just one zero on the felt. This gives it nearly half the house edge of a double zero game. It gets better for players that like to bet on the outside even money bets. The la partage, or “half-back” rule is used. A player only loses half the wager on even money bets when the zero is called. The house edge for even money wagers is 1.35 percent. All other wagers have a 2.7 percent house edge.
European Roulette is available at Resorts, Mohegan Sun, Caesars, Party Poker, Pala Casino, Harrah’s, 888, Golden Nugget, Borgata, Virgin Casino and Tropicana. Harrah’s, 888, Tropicana and Virgin Casino call this game French Roulette. These tables include the French racetrack with Voisins, Orphelins and Tiers.
Other New Jersey roulette games
All New Jersey casinos offer a single zero roulette game without la partage. This means that a player loses the entire wager when zero is called. There is no reason to play this game at a casino that offers European or French roulette rules if you plan to make any wagers on even money bets. There may be a higher minimum bet on the la partage tables to get the advantageous rule.
Online roulette variants available in New Jersey
There are three roulette variants in New Jersey. Betfair offers Roulette Royale. It is French Roulette with some additional side bets one would find in Monaco casinos. It has a single zero and the la partage rule.
Two other online roulette variations in New Jersey are more unusual than Roulette Royale. Three Wheel Roulette is available at Betfair. The game uses three wheels, just as the name implies. There is one zero but no la partage rule. A player makes a wager that is essentially a bet on three independent spins. There are three separate winners on each turn. It is possible to have the same number win up to three times.
There is a side bet in Three Wheel Roulette. It is called “Color Up.”
Color Up payouts:
- Color Up (All three numbers are same color): Push
- Pair (Two of three numbers are same: 5-1
- Straight (Three numbers are connected): 25-1
- Pair Zeros: 50-1
- Triplet: 100-1>
- Triplet Zeros: 1,000-1
Party Poker, Golden Nugget, Betfair, Resorts and Mohegan Sun offer Double Bonus Spin Roulette. This game has two zeros and a yellow wheel. The yellow well is 50 percent larger than a standard number’s well. The yellow may be bet as a number, although it pays one-third lower than a standard straight wager.
If the ball lands in the yellow well, two blue lights will appear. These lights will pick two numbers. All bets pay the same as a normal game. There are just twice as many ways to win during this bonus round.
The house edge in Double Bonus Spin Roulette is 1.97 percent. This is better than Single Zero Roulette on bets not affected by the la partage.
New Jersey mobile roulette
New Jersey online casinos do not offer all games available on the PC software on Android and iOS apps. There is not enough space to do so. The roulette game offered on New Jersey apps is typically a single zero game without the la partage rule. Roulette variants are not spread on New Jersey casino apps.
Differences between online roulette and live roulette
Live roulette is a very slow game. It usually requires a $5 or $10 minimum bet. There can also be confusion with chips at busy tables and slow payouts.
Online roulette is much faster than its live counterpart. The wheel is based on a random number generator. Players can bet fast and click rebet to speed the game up. Removing animation makes the speed almost as fast as a slot machine. The minimum bet is just $.50 or $1 online.
There are also single zero wheels, which cut the house edge nearly in half, at New Jersey online casinos.

Betfair roulette
Betfair Casino offers six roulette variants, although some feature nearly identical rulesets. They are:
- 3 Wheel Roulette: Variant featuring three wheels, and bonus bets.
- American Roulette: Double zero version of the game.

Caesars Casino roulette
Caesars Casino offers a whopping eight roulette games:
- American Roulette (two versions)
- 3 Wheel Roulette
- Roulette Master
- Double Bonus Spin Roulette
- European Roulette (three versions)
The European Roulette games feature the samerules, and the same $1 minimum, so players are advised to select a title based on other preferences.
Golden Nugget roulette
Golden Nugget Casino offers nine versions of roulette, but there’s really no good reason to play one of the two digital American Roulette games, as the house edge is nearly double that of other titles.
Some players may take to Live Dealer Roulette, even though it’s an American Roulette game. Players may reason that because the action is slower, they’ll get more bang for their buck. They may also enjoy a more socialenvironment where outcomes are determined using real playing devices.
Golden Nugget also offers four European Roulette (single zero) games, and two one-off titles: 3 Wheel Roulette, and Double Bonus Spin Roulette.
Harrah’s roulette
Harrah’s offers three European rules roulette games, and one American Roulette variant. The minimum wager for the double zero roulette game is $1; for the others it’s $5. Players that are planning to wager at least $5 a spin are advised to play French Roulette, as it adheres to European rules (single zero, returns half the wager on even money bets when 0 hits).
Tropicana/Virgin Casino roulette
Tropicana Casino and Virgin Casino each offer three roulette games, although Single Zero Roulette and Single Zero Roulette High Stakes are essentially the same single zero game outside of the bet spreads. The felt does offer the French racetrack and bets.
The pair also offer American Roulette, although there’s really no good reason to play this variant.
Play SugarHouse
Play SugarHouse offers five roulette games. Two are single zero games, there is one American Roulette game, and two roulette spin-offs: Double Bonus Spin Roulette and 3 Wheel Roulette.
Online roulette strategy tips
Don’t try wheel tracking
Tracking the results of a physical Roulette wheel used in a brick and mortar casino can bring you great results. Every Roulette wheel is different and tendencies may present themselves if you watch long enough. A lot of casinos will even help you track a wheel, listing the recent history of results on a board right beside the wheel.
Initiated players can take tracking even further, using any number of smartphone apps to help them track a wheel and discover its tendencies.
This is the number-one Roulette strategy used in brick and mortar casinos, but you can pretty much throw it out online. There is no physical wheel to track and random number generators are just that: Random.
You can try tracking the results of a New Jersey online casino Roulette wheel yourself, but you’re not likely to find a pattern emerging. As a result, our first NJ online Roulette strategy tip is to avoid trying to track the untrackable.
Avoid American Roulette
Not all New Jersey online casino Roulette games are the same. The basic versions of the game include American Roulette and European Roulette. The difference between the two games is the addition of a double zero slot on American Roulette.
It may seem like just a small difference, but the addition of the double zero slot has a major impact on your odds of winning. In fact, on averagem there is a three to four percent Return to Player (RTP) rate difference between the two. Even a three percent change in the RTP rate is real money in the pocket of a player.
As a result, our next New Jersey online casino Roulette strategy tip is to avoid American Roulette games and stick to playing European Roulette, no matter how patriotic you are.
The almost 50-50 proposition
The outside bets in Roulette are the ones that look like 50-50 propositions. These are the even/odd or red/black bets that pay out 1:1.
Of course, the green zero, and in American Roulette the green double zero, ensure these bets are not 50-50 propositions at all. If the ball lands on zero or double zero, all these bets lose.
Don’t fool yourself in thinking your 50-50 to win placing these bets. They’re more like 48 percent to win. But that doesn’t mean you can’t place these bets regularly and win.
In fact, one simple NJ online Roulette strategy is to pick one of these bets and stick with it. The randomness of the outcome in Roulette dictates that at any given time, any one of these bets could be paying off more than the other. Over the long haul, they’ll pretty much even out, with the zero coming in enough to create a house edge. However, in the short term, you can take advantage of whatever one of these bets is trending to eke out a small profit.
Manage your bankroll
Bet within your means. Set a limit for wins and losses and stick to it. Manage your bankroll effectively, and while you may not be maximizing your winnings when you get lucky, you’ll be limiting your losses when you don’t. In the end, any serious gambler will tell you that’s half the battle on the road to profits.
How to play basic roulette
No matter which roulette title you’re playing online, the basic rules are the same.
A roulette wheel features numbered pockets that alternate colors from red to black. Players bet on a single number, a range of numbers and colors.
In a traditional brick and mortar casino, a croupier spins the wheel one way and sends a small white ball into the wheel in the opposite direction. Whichever pocket the ball lands will determine the outcome of the various bets.
Online, the wheel and ball are replaced by a random number generator. These computer programs randomly determine the outcome of each spin, and the wheel and ball displayed online is just a graphic interface.
European Roulette or French Roulette
European Roulette, which is also called French Roulette, is the top roulette game for players. It features just one zero on a wheel with 37 numbered pockets. This reduces the house edge by half in comparison to American Roulette.
Most European Roulette games also offer la partage as well. In this case, players who lose only lose half the wager on even-money bets when the ball lands in the green zero pocket. La partage reduces the house edge even further.
American Roulette
American Roulette wheels feature two zeros, a single zero, and double zero, on a wheel with 38numbered pockets. This doubles the house edge in comparison to European Roulette.

Single Zero Roulette
Single Zero Roulette wheels feature just one zero on a wheel with 37 numbered pockets. However, it differs from European Roulette in that la partage is not offered. This means a player loses their entire bet on even money bets when the ball lands in the green zero pocket.
Roulette Royale
Roulette Royale is essentially French Roulette with some additional side bets. It has a single zero and the la partage rule.
Three Wheel Roulette
This is roulette with three wheels. European Roulette wheels are used, but there is no la partage. Essentially, players are betting once for three different spins, meaning they could get three times the payout.
Double Bonus Spin Roulette
This game uses an American Roulette wheel with two zeros and an additional yellow pocket. The yellow pocket is wider than average and acts kind of like a free bonus spin. Landing in the yellow triggers a free spin that includes two bonus wheels and provides double the number of opportunities to win.

Roulette Master
Roulette Master offers lower minimum wagers than most other Roulette games.
Double Ball Roulette
Roulette Band Nj Band
As the name implies, Double Ball Roulette plays like regular roulette except there are two balls. Double the balls equal double the action. The game uses a European Roulette wheel.
