I would say you're absolutely right. However, some people believe that the government won't count Bitcoin gambling as really being gambling. Hence, you have Dragon's Tale, which is hosted in Pennsylvania, and Bitcoin Gamer, which is run by a company chartered in Kentucky (and includes a simple Roulette game). If they're wrong, they won't find out until the government decides to crack down on gambling, and then you'll see scrambling.

Hosting legally in Europe or the UK requires a license so expensive that the back-up money for the game would be the least of your concerns. You'd still get arrested by US authorities, however, even if your site is abroad.

These legal concerns are why I host on TOR.

By far the hardest part of making a Roulette game would be making a wheel that doesn't look like shit. (Bitcoin Gamer's Roulette wheel looks like garbage).  By far the easiest way to get acceptable graphics for Roulette would be to write an OpenGL-based downloadable client-- but people should be afraid to download something like that, because you could bundle a wallet stealer with that.

You could of course buy a system such as Real Time Gaming. That is what most of the established casinos do.

I mean, really all a roulette table is, in code, is a random number generator with a bunch of checks on the number to see which betting positions the end result potentially matches.  IIRC, the default odds are in favor of the house at about 52%, which is close enough that any decent roulette operation would need to have a good-sized backing of money, to account for variance.

If someone wants to put up the funds for the variance, I'll code it.  Eventually, anyway.  Have a fairly large project in the pipe already, but after that's done, I'll do it if no one else has.

EDIT:  I take that back - I believe it would be illegal for me to start up a gambling website in the US.  Someone correct me if I am wrong.
