American Roulette Rules

Gamblers know American Roulette as the “double-zero roulette.” In 1800, some greedy establishments added the thirty-eighth sector to French Roulette—00—to get even more profit. Currently, the house edge in American Roulette for almost all bets is 5.26%. It is almost twice as much as the house edge in European Roulette. Strange, but many players like it like that and the game variation is popular.

We would not advise you American Roulette for real money, unless you want to say fast goodbye to your bankroll. However, such a high house edge does not discourage some gamblers from playing American Roulette — it even increases the excitement level and attracts more and more fans in this game. Anyway, you can play our American Roulette Simulator absolutely free and without any limits, and you do not risk to lose real money.

All the numbers on the American Roulette wheel are distributed in accordance with a certain scheme: 0, 2, 14, 35, 23, 4, 16, 33, 21, 6, 18, 31, 19, 8, 12, 29, 25, 10, 27, 00, 1, 13, 36, 24, 3, 15, 34, 22, 5, 17, 32, 20, 7, 11, 30, 2, 9, 28.

• Eighteen of them are red: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36;
• Eighteen of them are black: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35;
• Zero and double-zero — 0 and 00 — are green.

So, American roulette has 38 sectors on the wheel. And in American roulette players have chips of their own colors: every player gets a set of certain color chips to differ from other players. It is convenient.

The American Roulette rules are quite simple and almost the same as in European Roulette. The dealer starts the game and spins the roulette wheel, then rolls a small metal ball on it. Meanwhile, players place their bets and wait until the ball stops at a slot. When the ball slows down, the dealer stops accepting bets and, after the ball stops, announces the winning slot. Winners get the payout, losers lose their bets.

As in any other roulette variation in order to win a player should guess which slot the ball stops. It is the universal roulette rule which applies also to our American Roulette Simulator.
