that are played on the internet via online casinos. Some land based
brick and mortar casinos also offer virtual roulette via games
machines using computer software to recreate the roulette wheel and
table on a 2 dimensional screen. Sports Bookmakers shops have
roulette gaming machines also. Virtual roulette is computer
software generated, that although is represented in 2 dimensional
form, it's clever use of graphics recreates the illusion of a 3
dimensional game, with the ball spinning and bouncing in the
roulette wheel along with sound effects. The numbers are generated
using random number generators or RNG. Though the numbers can never
be 'true' randomly generated numbers as you would find on a real
live roulette wheel in a brick and mortar casino. They are known as
'pseudo' random generated numbers or PRNG. Numbers that are
generated from computer algorithms.
