AMERICAN V EUROPEAN ROULETTE
 Most
Online Roulette players can choose between
playing American and European Roulette when
they play in internet casinos.
What
are the differences between the Casino
Games
and does the Online
Casino
version of Roulette offer a better chance of
winning than the offline version?
Roulette
is a game of pure chance, and, although various
people have claimed that their 'system' or
Roulette
Theory
has enabled them to beat the wheel, it is
essentially luck that decides the winners and
losers.
There
are usually two types of Roulette available
to play Online and sometimes also in some
land-based casinos. These types are called European
and American roulette. European roulette is the
older version of the game, with the origins of
Roulette
History
in 17th-century France.
Roulette
House Advantages
The
main difference between European and
American Roulette lies in the respective
house advantages. European Roulette has one
green slot for zero, while American roulette has
two green slots - one slot for zero and one slot
for double zero. In European roulette, there are 37
slots, while in American roulette there are
38.
The
zero spaces represent the house advantage and in
the case of European roulette this is 2.7%, which
most gamblers would think pretty reasonable.
However, in American roulette, with its double
zero, the house advantage is 5.26%, which is
obviously much worse for the player.
Playing
Online Roulette
Although
some have faith in various mathematical strategies,
or systems many gamblers believe that playing
Online
Roulette
is one of the best ways to maximise the chances of
winning.
Firstly,
you can always find an Online Casino
offering European roulette, which gives you a
greater advantage. Also, unlike a land-based
casino, there are no distractions, either from
other players or the croupier. When you're playing
online, you can organise your environment to allow
you to concentrate fully on your game.
There
is also the question of the wheel. Although casinos
regularly check their roulette wheels, the idea of
the biased wheel, or the dealer signature in which
the croupier unconsciously rolls the ball so that
it falls in particular sections of the wheel,
persists. This isn't a problem in online casinos,
which use a computer-based and independently
verified random number generator.
