American Roulette
American Roulette is a double zero roulette which consists of 36 numbers plus 0
and 00. It consists of a wheel with 38 stops, and a ball that can land with equal
chance in any of those stops.
American Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel with thirty-eight
numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the ball comes to rest in one of these slots.
The objective of American Roulette is to correctly predict the slot in which the
ball will land. By predicting the right number, you earn a payoff on your bet. The
size of the payoff depends on how the bet was placed.
Main difference between American Roulette and European roulette is the Zeros. American
Roulette contains Double Zero (00) in addition to Zero (0).
How to play American Roulette
There are two basic steps to follow to play a game of American Roulette.
First use your mouse to place chips on individual numbers and the borders shared
by two or four numbers. You can also bet on whether the number will be odd, even,
black, red, low and/or high, by placing outside bets. Provided you have enough money
and do not exceed table limits, you can place any number of different bets.
Once you have placed your bets press the SPIN button to start the game. The roulette
wheel will spin and the ball will be placed on the wheel. The ball will eventually
drop into one of the numbered slots on the wheel. If the number falls within the
range of any one of your bets, you win!
Type of Bets in American Roulette
There are two main types of bets in American Roulette:
Inside Bets: This is when you place a bet on any number
on the table from 00-36.
Outside Bets: This is when you place a bet outside of
the table layout, such as Red or First 12.
Different type of inside and outside bets are as follows:
Straight Up
A chip can be placed directly on any single number, which can include zero (0) and
double zero (00). The chip should lie exactly on one number.
Split Bet
A chip can be placed, on two adjacent numbers, on the line between two numbers.
Street Bet
Street Bet covers three numbers. The position of the chip is left outer line of
the roulette table near the corresponding row of three numbers.
Corner Bet
Corner Bet covers four numbers, each of which is adjacent to the other two, i.e.
located in a square. The position of the chip is on the cross of the lines dividing
these four numbers.
Five Bet
This bet can be made in only one place and covers five numbers: zero, double zero,
one, two and three. The chips are placed at the end of the row between the numbers
00 and 3.
Line Bet
Line Bet covers two Street bets (i.e. six different numbers in two rows each of
which has three numbers. For example: 4,5,6 + 7,8,9). The position of the chip is
on the cross of the left outer line of the roulette table, and the line, dividing
two rows, constituting "streets".
Column Bet
On the shortest side of the roulette table there are three fields, marked as "2
to 1". Covering one of these fields with a chip, you can make a bet on all twelve
fields, located over the covered field. (Neither the zero nor the double zero are
covered by any of the columns).
Dozen Bet
You can make a bet on the group consisting of twelve numbers, having placed a chip
on one of the fields marked as "1st 12", "2nd 12" or "3rd 12". Each group contains
numbers from 1 to 12, from 13 to 24, from 25 to 36 accordingly.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, 1 to 18/19 to 36
This bet is placed on one of the six boxes on the left, longer side of the table.
A half of roulette numbers (18 numbers) corresponds to each bet, as all the numbers
are divided into Red and Black, Even and Odd, Low (1-18) and High (19-36). (The
zero and double zero are not covered by any of these boxes).
