American Rouletteby World Match, LTD

American Roulette offers many of the exciting betting opportunities that you will find in the French and Euro versions but it differs in the that it has a thirty-eighth pocket, the 00 or double zero. Statistically this “extra” Zero is a bane to players as it raises the house advantage and lowers a player's overall expectations. This math really only comes into play to any appreciable degree for those who cover 12 or 18 spots per bet (especially odd/even, red/black).

For the higher risk player who realizes that the even money bets are simply a road to eventual ruin, regardless of one or two Zeroes, the second green spot is not of as much consequence. A straight bet still pays 35:1 and that is where the money is in this game. Of course our recommendation is to play single zero roulette – but we appreciate the sentiment of those who prefer the American version.
