The Rules Of American Roulette Explained

In this section, we briefly cover the rules of American roulette, the aim of the game and the bets, odds and payouts. 

The Main Aim of American Roulette

The main aim in American roulette, or any other roulette game, is to guess which slot the little ball will land on the roulette wheel. Computer software* determines the outcome of playing an American roulette simulator or any other roulette pokies game. 

*A Random Number Generator or RNG spins the virtual American roulette wheels at FruityKing NZ, and the RNG is independently audited regularly to ensure that all games are true and fair. 

How to Get Started

• The object of American roulette is to calculate which slot the small ball will land in after the American roulette wheel has stopped spinning. 
• In live American roulette, you place your different coloured chips on the bets you want to make. 
• Bets are made on the roulette table layout and divided into two sections (inside bets and outside bets).
• When you play American roulette online, choose your bet size before hitting the ‘Spin’ button. Online American roulette has no time limit, so you can place your bets and plan your roulette strategies in your own time.
• When you play roulette online (live version), the dealer (sometimes called the croupier) will call ‘no more bets’ before setting the roulette wheel in motion.

The Different Bets, Odds and Payouts When Playing American Roulette

You will find the games strikingly similar when playing American or European roulette. The major difference to the game when you play American roulette is the addition of an extra double zero. The extra double zero means that the American roulette wheel layout and table layout differ from their European counterparts. 

Some roulette players try different roulette strategies, such as the Fibonacci or the Martingale betting system, while others might use a date significant to them (a birthday, for instance). 

Remember, no matter what the expected odds are when you play roulette and no matter which different roulette strategies you might use or preferences of bets like a line bet or dozens, you still need luck on your side.

The House Edge Explained

From Las Vegas to your favourite casino games, all physical and online casinos have a house edge (sometimes called the house advantage), which is one way the casinos profit. 

The house edge is a fraction of what players can expect to lose over a longer time. If you imagine roulette games’ popularity, how quickly the small percentages add up soon becomes apparent.

As American roulette has an extra double zero (00), the house edge of any physical or online casino game of American roulette is 5.26%. European roulette games have a house edge of 2.70%. 

Some American or European roulette versions, like mini-roulette, have a built-in house edge of 3.85%.

American Roulette Bets, Odds and Payouts

A player can make both inside bets and outside bets during a game of American roulette. Outside bets give you a better chance of winning, although they offer a lower payout; the opposite can be said of inside bets.

Even though American roulette odds are 37:1 of hitting a single number with a straight-up bet (as there are 38 numbers in total), both online casino sites and physical casinos pay out  35:1 on winning bets

Inside Bet Types, Potential Payouts and American Roulette Odds

• A Straight-up is a bet on a single number and pays out at 35:1
• A Split bet has a potential payout of 17:1 with American roulette odds of 5:3%
• The Street bet has a potential payout of 11:1 with odds of 7:9% 
• A Corner bet (sometimes called a Square bet) has a potential payout of 8:1 with American roulette odds of 10:5%
• The Basket bet is made on American roulette tables only and has a potential payout of 6:1 and odds of 13.2%
• The Double Street bet has a potential payout of 5:1 and American roulette odds of 15.8%

Outside Bet Types, Potential Payouts and American Roulette Odds

• Red or black bets have a potential payout of 1:1 and American roulette odds of 47.37%
• Odd or even bets have a potential payout of 1:1 and odds of 47.37%
• High or low bets have a potential payout of 1:1 and odds of 47.37%
• Column bets have a potential payout of 2:1 and odds of 31.6%
• The Dozen bet has a potential payout of 2.1 and American roulette odds of 31.6%

As you can see, outside bets provide better payout odds whether the casino game you play is the European, French or American roulette version. 

The Difference Between American Roulette and European Roulette

It’s time to look deeper at American roulette wheels and table layouts, although the close-to-double house edge may seem to favour the European casino game. Interestingly, American roulette is as popular as ever. 

The American Roulette Wheel

• The American roulette wheel has a different sequence of numbers due to the added double zero (00). The American wheel has 38 slots, and the additional double zero rearranges the roulette wheel number sequence
• The red and black slots alternate continually about the roulette wheel
• No consecutive numbers have the same colour 
• Successive numbers are paired at opposite ends 
• The odd and even numbers are evenly divided across the roulette wheel
• The low (1-18) numbers and the high (19-36) alternate on the American roulette wheel

The American Roulette Table

Similar to the European roulette table, but different because of the extra double zero and the different sequence of numbers, an extra inside bet is included at the American roulette table – the five-numbered bet or basket bet.

The bet can only be made in American roulette as players cover five consecutive numbers with a single chip, the zero, double zero, one, two and three. 

At the American roulette table, there is a rule similar to the La Partage rule (in French roulette). Players can use the Surrender rule when the ball lands in a zero or double zero slot. When using the Surrender rule, the house edge drops to 2.63%
