Hey,
Here is the basic strategy which you guys should know..

Roulette Strategy

Online roulette is a casino game, and like all online casino games, it is designed with a house edge so that the casino will profit. Over the long term, you can expect to lose money at roulette. However, there is some roulette strategy you can employ to minimize your losses.
Look For A Bonus

If you find a good online roulette bonus, you can lower the house edge significantly. Most online casinos offer roulette bonus when you register a new account. Check out the top lists here at CasinoTopLists.com to find the best casino bonus offer.
Choosing American or European Roulette

It may surprise some players to learn that the ideal roulette strategy comes not from how many numbers you cover or when you choose to play them, but what wheel you choose to play. Online roulette wheels come in American roulette and European roulette varieties. The difference is subtle, but important. In an American roulette wheel, there is a zero and a double zero. In a European roulette wheel, there is only the single zero. You always want to choose a European roulette wheel.
Roulette Odds and the Zero

Why is picking the European wheel so important when you play roulette online? Roulette odds pay off according to the likelihood of a player hitting his number. There are 36 numbers, so the odds of say, number 8 hitting on the next spin are 35-to-1, since there are 35 numbers besides 8 that can be hit. However, there are more than 36 spaces on the wheel. This odds calculation does not take into account the zeroes on the wheel. If there is one zero, your odds of hitting an 8 are really 36-to-1, even though you are getting paid off at 35-to-1.

While this may not seem like a big deal, it is the difference between winning and losing. It should become clear now why the European wheel is so much better to play. Double the zeroes means double the house edge, meaning you will lose much more over the long term with an American wheel where the odds of hitting a number is 37-to-1 against you, than on a European wheel where the odds are only 36-to-1.

Each slot machine spin is completely independent. This means if someone gets a big payout at a slot machine you recently left, you didn't actually miss out on the payout. It's highly unlikely you would have gotten the payout if you had stayed at the machine because the outcome is due to the rapid generation of random numbers and not the number of spins

[DanielRStocker]

A machine is never due to hit a jackpot. Each time you spin the reels at a slot machine you have the same chance of hitting any jackpot regardless of whether or not the machine has recently hit this jackpot. This means that a machine can go many days without a significant payout or could have two giant payouts in a row.

Three-reel slot machines with only one payline usually offer the best overall percentages for coming out ahead.

Avoid progressive slot machines. The huge payouts are very tempting but the random number generators in these machines are programmed to produce a higher number of reels and symbols, decreasing your odds.

[KyleSJohnson]

Higher denomination machines often have higher payback percentages. You'll usually do better playing a single coin in a dollar slot machine than three coins in a quarter slot machine.

[KyleSJohnson]

To win jackpots and the highest payouts you should always play maximum coins.

[KyleSJohnson]

Play the number of coins you feel comfortable with. Yes, more coins often means a better payout, but it's your money and if you'd rather play under the maximum amount then you should do so.

Faster play does not increase your chances of winning. A person playing slots faster may appear to be winning more but it's just because they're spinning more within a given amount of time.

It doesn't matter if you pull the handle or hit the Spin button. People have their superstitions but the slot machine couldn't care less.
