Play Roulette

Roulette – one of the most delightful and fascinating games offered at all land based casinos is also available at all online casinos too! Roulette offers two versions, the European and the American. The former is well-liked and accepted and has an advantage over the American version, due to the house edge ratio.

European roulette game comprises of 37 numbers which range from 1 to 18 and a 0. When the wheel is spun and comes to a halt on the ‘0’ then all stakes lose, except for those that are positioned on the single number ‘0’. This generates a house edge of 2.57% and would effectively mean that on a stake of $100 you can anticipate to win $97.43 in due course.

On the American version, the wheel comprises of 38 numbers and ranges from 1 to 18, a 0 and a 00. Similar to that of the European version, when the wheel is spun and comes to a halt on the ‘0’ or ‘00’, then all stakes lose, except for those that are positioned on the single number ‘0’ and ‘00’. This generates a house edge of 5.26% and you can envisage winning around $94.74 in time.

The good news is that there are interesting alternatives where you can enjoy a game of Roulette where the house edge is as low as 1.35%. French Roulette with a similar configuration to that of European Roulette is a break-through in the world of Roulette which is governed by the ‘La Partage” regulation. This regulation allows a player to lose only half of his stake if he/she makes an even money stake and if the ball positions itself on ‘0’. As a result of the low house edge the game is not offered at all online casinos.
