American Roulette

American Roulette and European Roulette are among the most exciting casino games available to play. Previously players would need to make their way to a land based casino or some other live venue to play American Roulette but the online casino makes accessing all of your favourite slot machines and casino table games faster, easier and better paying. It is a well known fact that online casinos will pay out better than live venues typically will and it’s also well known that players who choose to play online will access a whole range of extra perks and bonuses just for choosing to play online instead.

Not only do you have the comfort of your own home to play in and the choice of any time of day to play, but if you’re not quite sure of the rules of American Roulette or any other casino game on offer, then you have the added benefit of learning to play before you commit any cash to your wager. You can learn blackjack rules before you actually start playing for real money. We have put together some basic rules and a few tips toward building the best strategy you can have when you start to play roulette for money. Once you’re comfortable with the rules and the shape of the game then you can choose to load any of our games in ‘Practice Mode’ for free. It’s just like the real money version and you can play as often as you like before you start betting funds from your bankroll.

 

How to Play American Roulette 

American Roulette consists of a wheel of 38 stops and a ball that can land with equal chance on any of the 38 stops. The stops are numbered in a non-sequential order of 0, 00, and then 1-36. The stops 1-36 are colored either black or red while the 0 and 00 stops are colored green. You can make wagers on where the ball will land on the wheel by placing chips on the Roulette table. Winnings are paid according to the paytable below.

 

Betting/Ranks/Payouts

• You can bet $1, $5, $25, $100 or $500. Choose the number of chips to bet per click.
• Place individual bets by clicking different spots on the table.
• You can bet a max of $1,000 on the table. You can bet up to $500 on Inside Bets and $500 for Outside Bets.
• Once your bet is placed, spin the wheel. If the ball lands on a number or color that you bet on, victory is yours.
• There are many types of bets in American Roulette. By placing the chips differently or choosing a neighbor or special bet, you can bet on 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, or 18 numbers.

 

The following table is a list of the bet types and their corresponding payouts:

The types of roulette available include American Roulette and European Roulette. Our roulette casino games can be played within your web browser and is also available for mobile devices. There is also a Practice Mode available for anyone who wants to familiarise themselves with the game before they start wagering. We highly recommend using this function if you’ve never played before and, even if you have, to ensure you fully understand how your bets will work before you start dipping into your bankroll.

In a nutshell, when you play roulette, you are essentially betting on where you think the little white ball will land once it’s spun onto the wheel by the croupier. With American Roulette, you have the option of selecting 00 0 – 36 of non-sequential numbers to choose from which are placed on either red or black squares. The European version, or otherwise known as French Roulette, has 0 – 36 to choose from and does not include the “00” but otherwise is the same.

The bet is not quite as simple as choosing the winning number on a given colour. Although you can make that bet and, should you win, the payout is very high (35:1 when playing American Roulette) given how lucky you would need to be to have predicted it, there are safer bets with slightly lower roulette odds and slightly better chances of winning available. Especially for beginners.

Online roulette is, essentially, a game of chance but the bets available include selecting a particular color, a group of numbers, whether the number will be odd or even, whether it will be a high number (19-36) or a low number (1-18) , a particular number, 2 – 6 number combinations and 0, 1, 2, 3 number combinations. The house edge is 5.26% and this is calculated based on the odds offered for any given bet.

Just as with live dealer roulette, it is not very sensible to rig any casino game and with both real roulette and online roulette it’s exactly the same situation. If our games were rigged then nobody would want to play them and without players, there’s no point in a running a casino. Games of chance like American Roulette are operated by a piece of computer programming called a Random Number Generator which ensures that every time our online croupier spins the wheel, the result is a randomly generated delivery of fate, not a fake. If it wasn’t, then the online gambling community would not take very long to spread the word, and nobody would be playing at our online casino.

There is no one trick or ultimate roulette strategy that will lead you to win after win when you’re playing the wheel. There are, however, conservative bets that you can make and not so conservative bets. There is a maximum bid of $1000 permitted on the table and bets can be made for $1, $5, $25, $100 or $500. You place your bets by clicking the corresponding box on the table so if you were selecting a particular number, like red 34, then you would click the red square containing the number 34. This is considered an Inside Bet and it has a maximum of $500 per bet.

If you were choosing to bet on a selection of numbers, then you would click the box containing the selection of numbers you have chosen. These boxes are located outside the box and are therefore known as Outside Bets. There is a $500 limit per bet bringing the maximum allowable bid of $1000.

How to win will depend largely on your command of the rules, you’re understanding of how the odds of each of your bets will payout and good, solid dose of luck. And that’s how it should always be. That’s where all those thrills and that excitement that only casino classics like roulette or craps can offer you really come from. There can be a maximum of 38 slots on a roulette wheel and how they are numbered varies slightly as explained above. American Roulette counts from 1 to 36 and includes 0 and 00 so therefore comes to a total of 38. European and French versions count from 0 to 36 and therefore have 37 numbered slots.

Along with online American Roulette, we also offer a fun and thrilling selection of other casino classics which include blackjack, baccarat online and the online slots. Play baccarat when you feel like it 24/7 and go head to head with your own live dealer when you feel like a quick rounds of 21. If you’re considering our slots real money and looking for some big payouts, then ensure that you choose progressive jackpots.
