American Roulette

About American Roulette

Roulette is one of the oldest betting games, with origins that may be traced back to ancient China or Roman military camps. The mathematician Blaise Pascal is credited with creating the modern version in France in the 17th century. Over time, it evolved into the American variant we know today with a total of 38 pockets that affect the game’s odds and house edge.

How to Play American Roulette?

The primary goal of this casino table game is to predict which number the ball will land once the wheel is spun. All players must place bets on a roulette table that features the numbers from 1 to 36, the single zero and double zero. The smallest stake for a single bet position is 3, and the maximum is 500, and you can select a chip from the right side of the screen. 

Rules

Roulette is a very simple game to play. However, just like any other game, this too has some rules.

• American Roulette has numbers from 1 to 36 (red or black) and 0 and 00 (green);
• Players place bets on the number they think the ball will land on;
• Once the players place their bets, the wheel is spun while they wait for the outcome;
• The bets are placed before the dealer spins the wheel and throws the ball;
• Bets can be placed during the rotation of the wheel and the ball. This means that players can place bets until the dealer announces that the bets are closed;
• The game starts once the dealer says, “Place your bets”, and ends with “No more bets”.

Inside Bets

Inside bets are wagers placed on specific numbers or small groups of numbers located on the inner grid of the roulette table. It’s worth mentioning that with the inside bets, the risk is higher, but the payout is higher as well. They can cover numbers from numbers 1-6 and they pay from 6x to 36x the original bet, and most are available in single-zero and double-zero games.

Outside Bets

Outside bets are done by placing the bets outside of the roulette table. During each spin, they will increase your chances of winning, however, the payout is lower than an inside bet. You can bet on a group of numbers, such as the first 12 or second 12, or you can pick between 1-18 or 19-36.

Bet Types

There are two main types of bets that you can make when playing online roulette: inside and outside bets. The inside bets are straight up, split, street, six lines, corner, trio, basket and top line. The outside bets are red/black, even/odd, high/low, dozen, column and snake bet. Additional bets include call bets, neighbours of zero bet, zero game, third-of-wheel bet, neighbour bet, final bet, and complete bet.

How American Roulette Differs from French and European?

American Roulette differs significantly from the European and French in several key aspects, primarily related to the wheel design, house edge and betting options. The European version has a lower house edge and favourable rules, making it appealing for all players, while the American version increases the house edge and the winning chances.
