American Roulette

American Roulette is one of the most visually stunning online casino games you will ever have the privilege of playing. We're not talking about innovation here - after all, the game of roulette has remained fairly standard for centuries - but about the way in which the American Roulette wheel, table and immediate environment is presented to the player. The graphics are as realistic and lifelike as you could hope for, animation is smooth-as-silk and the audio meets the same incredibly high standards.

Some readers might be wondering how American Roulette differs from regular Roulette (which is also known as European Roulette). Well, both games feature the numbers 1 to 36, but the difference is that an American Roulette wheel has two zeros (0 and 00), whilst a European Roulette wheel has just one zero (0). This technically means that you are twice as likely to hit a zero in American Roulette as you are in the European version of the game.

In all other respects, American Roulette is much the same as European Roulette. You start by selecting the casino chip denomination that you want to use, and then you place bets by positioning your chips on the table layout.

When you have placed all of the bets you want, you press the SPIN button and the wheel will be spun in one direction. At the same time, a small metal ball will be sent around the inner rim of the wheel in the opposite direction. When the wheel slows and then stops, the number indicated by the ball is the winner. If you have bet on that number, directly or indirectly, your bet will win.

American Roulette Bets

We said 'directly or indirectly' a moment ago because there are quite a few bets that can be placed in a game of American Roulette, and most include betting on two or more numbers or categories of numbers. The most popular bets in American Roulette are as follows:

Outright

- Place your chip on a single number and if that number comes up, you are paid off at odds of 35/1.

Groups

- Place your chip to cover two or more numbers in lines, corners, pairs and so on. If one of your numbers wins, you will be paid at odds that reflect the number of selections you have covered. For example, covering two numbers would give you odds of 17/1 for success.

Dozens

- You can bet on a group of twelve numbers and if any one of those numbers wins you would be paid off at odds of 2/1.

Even Money Shots

- There are six 'even money shots' that all pay out at odds of 1/1 (hence the name). The six options are that the number will be Red, Black, Odd, Even, Low (1-18) or Hi (19-36).

These bets, as outlined above, are the ones that most American Roulette players tend to concentrate on, and you can combine two or more types of bets in any game should you choose to do so (for example, by betting on Red and also on Even). However, you should note that all of these bets will result in a loss if the number 0 or 00 comes up unless you have specifically bet on 0 or 00 outright or as part of a group of numbers.

Combine the eternal popularity of roulette with the sumptuous presentation that this online version of the game offers and American Roulette really is hard to fault. If you are new to roulette then you will love discovering this game, and if you are a roulette connoisseur then you are sure to appreciate American Roulette even more.
