One of the most popular gambling games in casinos –whether in online casinos or brick and mortar casinos – is roulette; and free roulette! From the looks of it, a game of roulette is quite simple. Even a person who has never gambled his whole life will be able to determine the rules of the game by just watching the proceedings of a game for a few minutes. What could be simpler than a roulette wheel spinning and betting on a number (or numbers) or a color where you think the ball will land? Of course, the center of the whole game of roulette revolves around the roulette wheel. The wheel measures about three feet in diameter and weighs almost 100 pounds. Not very many people know this but there are actually two types of roulette – American roulette and European roulette.

First of all, the wheels used in American and European roulette are quite different. Let’s look at the similarities first. The wheel is divided into numbered compartments or “pockets”. These pockets are colored either red, black or green. Each pocket is numbered from 1 to 36 and is split among red and black. There are also green pockets in the roulette wheel and this is where the first difference between American and European roulette is first seen. In American roulette, there are two green pockets that signify 0 and 00 (zero and double-zero). European roulette, on the other hand, only has one zero. The green pockets are considered the house advantage. American roulette has a house advantage of 5.3 per cent while European roulette has an advantage of 2.7 per cent. |
