American Roulette Guidelines

You might have heard that there is European roulette and American roulette. Do you know what is the difference between them?

You may suppose that American roulette is played in the USA and European roulette is played in Europe. In a certain degree you are right, because  the motherland of American roulette is of course the USA, but now it is played not only in the US casinos, but also in  casinos of other countries. The main difference of American roulette is  double zero. European roulette has only one zero. The roulette wheel of American roulette is divided into 38  pockets with numbers from 0, 00, 1 to 36. Numbers are placed in specific balanced order. One half of numbers is red and other half is black, zero and double zero are usually green. Black numbers and red numbers interchange. Two even numbers precede two odd numbers. Numbers of American roulette are placed in the inner part of roulette wheel. The system of roulette betting is similar with European roulette but there are some additional moments connected with double zero.

As for bets, they  can be outside ones and inside ones. American roulette doesn't presuppose call bets. There is a rule in American roulette, which is similar to  the rule “La partage” in European roulette. It is called “Surrender rule”. In this case if you made a bet for equal odds  but there is a zero or double zero, then you can return the half of your bet. The house's edge in case of American roulette is 5, 26%. Maybe it is a reason why American people prefer to play card games instead of roulette, while European people are favorable to roulette. If you prefer American roulette then you can  test your skills by means of online roulette at numerous online casinos.
