Online Casino Roulette: spinning the wheel of misfortune

In recent years, the gaming industry has grown significantly, especially casino games and sports betting. Online casinos have consolidated their position as a go-to source of entertainment in many countries worldwide, with estimates that the global online gambling market could be valued at over 90 billion U.S. dollars in 2023.

Maybe it is not surprising, then, that both traditional and online casino games have become a target of those players seeking an opportunity to detect vulnerabilities so that they can overcome the house edge and ‘break the bank’.

Over the last few years, here at NCC Group we have been researching online casino games and focusing specifically on roulette. As a result, we’ve put together a useful guide for those who build, maintain and test online roulette systems, detailing different types of online roulette, their potential vulnerabilities and the ways to detect them.

Comprehensive analysis and timely detection of weaknesses in online roulette systems can have a significant impact on making online gaming safer and more secure for everyone.
