Right, I've mostly seen roulette played in live casinos with a girl spinning the wheel. The people popping in to the bookies for a bit of a go on the FOBT will probably play for a shorter time which gives them a better chance of winning in the short term.
I would say though it's also a question of what offers the most fun. I played a bit of live 9-max NLHE on Saturday night and it was boring to anyone who's used to 4-tabling 6-max online. Maybe I'll go for roulette next time myself
I certainly don't see what poker can offer to the hardcore gambler that roulette can't. You have to be interested in it as a skill game, I think.
Any news on how the experiment on .es is going?
