Roulette – American and European
As many casino-savvy players already know, there are two
main forms of online roulette. I plan on covering some of the
differences between the two versions of this popular casino game and in
doing so, helping you, the player, decide which game suits you best.
The first version of online roulette I would like to discuss
is American Roulette. The American roulette wheel has the numbers 0,
00, and numbers from 1 to 36. Because of the extra number present in
American roulette, amateurs might be better advised to stick to
European roulette because of the slightly better odds.
Secondly, we have European roulette (also known as French
roulette). As opposed to its American counterpart, it has all the same
numbers except for the “00” that the American version appends. This, as
was said above, gives European roulette slightly better odds than
American roulette.
One of the subtler differences between the two roulette
games is that in American roulette, players receive different colour
chips for easier differentiation of bets, whilst in European, players
generally receive the same colour chips, requiring the respective
players to have to be alert! Also, European croupiers gather up the
chips with rather nifty-looking rakes, whereas American croupiers tend
to be more inclined towards using their hands.
There is a rule in European roulette called “En Prison”.
This allows the gambler, if the zero comes up, to either surrender one
half of their outside wagers or to leave them for the next game. This
rule drops the house edge even lower, taking it to 1.352 as opposed to
the 5.26 available in the American game, thus making the European game
slightly more enticing.
At the end of the day, it is up to the player to decide
whether he wants to go for the safer bet with European Roulette or if
he prefers the thrill of the more risky American Roulette...
