Differences between American and European Roulette
Roulette is one of the oldest gambling games. However, there are not as many variations of the game as there are of other casino games. There are only two variations of roulette rules and this page will deal with both of them.
European Roulette
The first variation of the roulette game still remains to be the most popular game due to the fact it has lower house edge. The rules of the game though remain almost the same, but still there are things that must be taken into account before you play.
The fact that the wheel does not have any 00 slot decreases the house edge to 2.63 percent.
American Roulette
American roulette is more modern variation of the game as it was created 150 years after the game was invented. When the game came to American casinos, the owners saw great profit in it but wanted to increase it as the game became very popular. The first thing they did is introducing an extra slot of 00 which made the casino edge almost 5.26 percent! This made American roulette one of the games that brings most of the profit to the casino.
Except two most popular variations of the roulette game, there is also less popular one but not less interesting.
This variation is Roulette Royale, which allows you to win a huge jackpot in case the same number is hit five times in a row. All the other rules of the game are totally the same and need no detailed explanation.
