How to Make Roulette More Like Playing Pokies

Pokies are the most popular type of online casino game in Australia, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun playing a lot of other types of games. Roulette is a game that’s almost always ignored because it seems too simple to be interesting, but there are ways to make it much like playing pokies if you know how to structure your bets correctly. We have a way of approaching the game that you might like if you’re a fan of pokies. This will allow you to achieve a payout structure that isn’t unlike this type of game.

The whole idea behind this type of betting strategy is to create multiple tiers of win levels by overlapping different types of wagers. A basic way of achieving this is by using three different bets at three different payout levels to create multiple tiers of payouts. For example, you could bet on a single straight-up bet, a 2:1 column bet and an evens bet all at the same time with three bet sizes to create a number of different possible winning combinations. You retain the ability to hit a long-shot jackpot while giving yourself plenty of small and medium payouts in between.

If you want to increase the volatility of this approach, then you have two factors that you can manipulate. You can increase or decrease the relative bet sizes between the wagers, or you can increase or decrease the number of different tiers that are available for payouts. For an extreme example of this, consider combining an evens bet with a straight up bet that also wins on the evens bet. This gives you a low payout that hits often and a jackpot payout that doesn’t hit very often at all for a high-volatility experience.

One pitfall that you have to avoid with this type of tier strategy for roulette is that you don’t end up weighting the low tier bets too much when it comes to bet sizes. Having $1 on a straight-up bet doesn’t matter much if it’s competing with $5 bets on red, black, even or odd because you’re only getting a payout that’s about seven times what you get when you win about half the time on your lower payout bet. Other than that, you can have a lot of fun with this approach because you can customize it to a high level.
