Roulette Variants

American roulette

 

American roulette is a variation of the roulette game offered in land-based and online casinos originating from North America. The so-called American roulette wheel has 38 slots numbered 0 to 36 and including a double zero slot. Unlike in standard roulette where the numbers are not consecutive, in American roulette the numbers are arranged in a row. Unlike in standard roulette, in American roulette the black and red numbers alternate... Also, the roulette ball travels on the inner edge, unlike in standard roulette. The wheel slows down gradually and the ball stops on a number, which is designated as the winner. What is important in terms of the game is that each participant at the table has to place his bet before the ball lands on the winning number. The maximum number of participants allowed at the American roulette table is six. A minimum table limit is set. Of course, the amount of the bets can increase significantly. It may be true that the so-called French roulette wheel has fewer numbers (and thus the player’s chances of winning increase), but most players who play in a traditional casino or on the internet decide to play American roulette.

French roulette

 

There are many differences between the so-called French roulette and American roulette. There are differences not only in the internal rules of the game, but also in the betting systems and payouts. You can say that there is a competition between American roulette and French roulette, each of them trying to attract more players. The first thing to consider when you decide to play roulette is that the French roulette wheel has 37 slots numbered from zero (0) to thirty-six (36). The slots have different colors: green corresponds to zero, while the remaining numbers are either red or black. The game begins when the dealer spins the wheel in one direction and the ivory ball in the opposite direction. The ball must make several turns around the wheel until it finally stops on a number, which is the winner. The main thing about the French game of roulette played at the best roulette casinos is that there are different ways to make the bets. In French roulette, the bets are placed on the mat, the fabric that allows different combinations of bets. The roulette bets can be either simple or multiple. The simple bets are called so because the player can choose between two options, while in the latter case they can choose between more options in their search for success. The high/low bet, for instance, is a simple bet (19-36). In this case, the player wins if he guesses the numbers between nineteen and thirty-six. So is the dozen bet, in which case the player places his bet on the dozens 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36. He wins if the ball lands on the dozen he has bet on.


Well, now you know enough to make the best choice when you decide to play roulette either online or in land-based casinos. Good luck!
