American roulette is less popular amongst gamblers
because the house awards itself a high dividend of 5.26 (on
average). The game is played using the basic roulette rules,
yet the amount of numbers involved in the wheel are different
as follows:
- Instead of 39, there are 38
- There is a double zero slot (00) included
- There is no prison system involved
Let us briefly review the prison system:
- If you bet on a colour and the (00) shows up, your money
is put in the "prison" for the next spin.
- You can choose at this point to reclaim 50% of your wager.
- Otherwise, your bet is placed again on the same colour
for the next spin on the roulette wheel.
Now it is important to realize that online systems may vary
from the traditional roulette procedures, due to the restrictions
of playng on the computer screen. However, the game maintains
its exciting, "lottery-like" feeling.
American Roulette Plus
Some main features of American Roulette Plus include:
- Wheels with 39 numbers, including 0,00,and 000
- House percentage is an astounding 7.69 (on average)
It is reommended that no one play American Roulette Plus, instead,
one should patronize European Roulette whenever possible.
The best betting strategy for American Roulette Plus is as
follows:
- Play your chips on even-money propositions like red or
black, odd or even, or high or low.
- You can alternate your bets, or play combinations like black
and even, or red and high.
These guidelines will result in a more enjoyable playing situation,
although the more you combine bets, the more the house seems
to vacuum in your chips, as the high house dividend can overcome
winnings from one right pick.
Players should ALWAYS opt to patronize European style roulette
over both American and American Plus roulette.
