Casino Games - Roulettes
The game of roulette is where you place bets on the number that you think will be selected by the spinning ball. Being a game of chance, the fact that the ball falls into one or another numbered pocket is random and unpredictable. Although there are different types of bets depending on which type of roulette you choose: French, American or European. Learn how to play with free roulette games (demo games) and when you feel confident with your bets, choose an online casino and put your theory to the test.
European Roulette
European roulette has 37 betting areas or squares numbered from 0 to 36. All the numbered squares are red or black except for the zero which is green and has a 2.7% probability of being the winning number.
French Roulette
French Roulette is the predecessor of the current European and American versions of the game and has been played for centuries throughout Europe. It was first popular among the aristocracy before becoming a game more commonly available to everyone and was the first to allow the placing of "called bets".
American Roulette
American Roulette contains an additional double zero green betting area which increases the casino's advantage to 5.26%. The gaming table doesn't have a track with "called bets" that are typical for French and European versions and the numbers are in a different order on the roulette wheel. You can make bets on zero and double zero and some casinos offer a return on your bets if the zero and the double zero are the simultaneous winning numbers.
Mini Roulette
Mini roulette is available online and only uses 12 numbers and a zero. It is a fast game with less time to make bets, but is just as entertaining.
Flash Roulette
Playing online from a PC is possible thanks to Adobe Flash technology, formerly called Macromedia Flash, which allows you to create and play interactive multimedia casino games on fixed and portable computers.
