Published at 19. 12. 2008 in category Main

While the American and European games of roulette are the most noted, there are other available versions. French roulette and Roulette Royale are two alternatives.

French roulette is pretty rare. You would be hard pressed to find a place that offers it, although there are some online casinos where you can play. The rules of French roulette are very similar to those that govern European roulette. The primary differences are that all wagers are made in French, the croupier places everyone’s bets and all bets are called.

Roulette Royale has more similarities to American roulette then the European version. Roulette Royale has a progressive jackpot. Certain numbers pay out the jackpot. This could mean a huge windfall. You can find this type of roulette games online.

You don’t have to only settle on playing American and European roulette. There are other options, although they are not as readily available. If you are interested in playing French roulette, look for a French or Canadian online casino. You will likely find it much easier to find a place to play Roulette Royale. This game is more similar to American roulette. There is the potential for big payouts because there are progressive jackpots available. If you are interested in playing any of these games, do a search on Google or on one of the other major search engines. You are likely to find some online casinos that offer at least one of these.

American Roulette

There are 38 numbers on the American roulette table. The numbers range from 1 to 36 and 0 to 00. The slots are alternatively colored red and black. The numbers 0 and 00 are colored green.

The house advantage is much higher for American roulette then it is for the European version. The house edge for American roulette is 5.26% for a $100 bet.

Another difference between these two types of roulette is that the chips come in different colors in this version of the game. They may also be numbered or have a symbol imprinted on them. Every player is given different color chips. This is done to ensure that each player’s wager do not get mixed up with another players.

There are different types of American roulette. There is a single 0 version. The house advantage is identical to the European version. This game can be found in upscale casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and in a few other places across the United States.

American roulette is believed to be a worse bet then European roulette. This is largely due to the 00 on the wheel. The house edge is doubled in American roulette. As a result, you have an increased chance of losing your wager. Therefore, if at all possible, play European roulette instead of American. If you choose to play online, you will be able to find both versions pretty easily.

European Roulette

The most notable difference between European and American roulette is that the former has 37 slot numbers on its wheel. The numbers are between 0 and 36. The house edge is 2.7%. For example, if you were to spend $100 betting, the house will end up making $2.70 in profit. The house edge is doubled when you play the American version. Therefore, when you have the option between the two games choose the European version.

There is a rule in the European game that is not in its’ American counterpart. It is called the en prison rule. The rule can be put into effect when the ball lands on 9. The player can keep their wager in its entirety or surrender 50% of their wager. If the player wins after the next spin, they receive their entire wager back.

Europe roulette also uses chips of the same color. Persons must take special care and pay attention so that they know what numbers that they have wagered on. Some players may attempt to cheat and claim your wager or may accidently claim yours as their own.

There are some pretty major differences between European and American roulette. These differences affect the house edge and also what choices the players have. The European wheel has less slots and only one 0. The American version has a 0 and 00. Every player uses the same colored chips which can get confusing. Therefore, never take your eyes off of your wager or someone may claim it as their own.
