For many British gamblers there would be nothing better than winning off a German and now the fanciful idea could become reality!

The Casino Wiesbaden in Frankfurt is set to offer British online gamblers a unique experience, playing live roulette from the comfort of their own homes.

Registered players will be able to place his or her stakes on the roulette table via their computer. They then keep track of the ball and the croupier via 2 webcams.

Casino Wiesbaden's is Europe's only state-licensed and permanently state-controlled casino to offer online roulette to European gamblers. The game operates daily from 11:00am to 3am local time on two tables and with authentic wheels.

'Everything about our online roulette is real! The only difference is that the player is sitting at home at his or her PC instead of being here at the Casino's playing table', said Thomas Freiherr von Stenglin, the CEO of Casino Wiesbaden. 'We're very excited to be able to welcome game-enthusiastic guests from the United Kingdom via the Internet.'

The Casino Wiesbaden recorded a gross betting revenue of just over £30 million in 2006 and with the relaunch of its online games it expects this figure to strongly increase in the current year
