American Roulette

American Roulette

Roulette is the one of the first games that springs to mind when you think of a casino. However, not all Roulette games are the same. When you play Online Roulette at Casino Tropez you have two main game options: European or American. While both online games are based on the same principles and provide hours of entertainment, they each have features that make them unique.

As the name implies, American Roulette is the version of the Roulette game that is played in America. Enter a casino there and this is the only Roulette table you will see. Introduced in the 1800s, Roulette was initially unpopular in the US until the ammendments that turned the American version into a game that would become a central feature in every casino in America.

The Difference

The main change from the more common European game is the layout of the centerpiece of every Roulette game – the Roulette wheel. While it looks similar to the 37 pocket European wheel, the American wheel has some important differences.

Firstly, in America an extra, green ‘00' pocket was added to the wheel to take the total number of pockets up to 38. One consequence of this is an extra bet called a ‘five bet' which is unique to American Roulette. This wager is placed on the first two rows of the Roulette table (0, 00, 1, 2 ,3) and pays out at 6 to 1. The second change to the Roulette wheel is the order of the numbers on the wheel, which is completely different to the European wheel but still offers the same random chance.

Still Fun

Aside from the changes, in American Roulette you can still place the usual bets - like street, column, dozen and row bets - with the same payouts as mentioned here. The game also progresses in the standard way, with the player first selecting their bet amount, then clicking on the wager they wish to make before clicking on the spin button to set the wheel spinning.

As with any casino game you can be sure of entertainment and excitement as you enjoy the thrill that only a game of Online Roulette can bring!
