Live Casino Roulette Variants Reviewed
The other day Gambling911.com offered strategies on how to play winning roulette online. Now we will look at some roulette variants specific to the live dealer online casino experience.
There are generally three types of roulette variants: French, American and European.
French Roulette Variant
The French roulette wheel features 37 numbers, from 0 to 36, in red, black and green pockets. These digits appear in a non-consecutive order, where each pair of odd numbers is followed by a set of evens. The number sequence on a single-zero wheel is:
|
0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25-17-34-6-27-13-36- 11-30-8-23-10-5-24-16-33-1-20-14-31- 9-22-18-29-7-28-12-35-3-26 |
American Roulette Variant
The American roulette wheel includes a total of 38 numbers; 1-36 in red and black pockets and 0 and 00 in green ones. The digits are displayed in an alternating order such that a red pocket is followed by a black one. The single-zero is positioned between two black numbers while the double-zero has two red digits either side. The number arrangement is:
|
0-28-9-26-30-11-7-20-32-17-5-22-34-15- 3-24-36-13-1-00-27-10-25-29-12-8-19-31- 18-6-21-33-16-4-23-35-14-2 |
European Roulette Variant
With 37 numbers, from 0 to 36, the European roulette wheel is similar to its French counterpart. These digits are divided into red and black pockets and a single green one for the 0. The numbers alternate between a pair of odd digits followed by even ones, and they appear in this order:
|
0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25-17-34-6-27-13-36-11-30- 8-23-10-5-24-16-33-1-20-14-31-9- 22-18-29-7-28-12-35-3-26 |
The only tangible difference between the American versus European Roulette variants is that the American wheel has a single zero and a double zero, while the European wheel has just the single zero.
However, there is one important different one needs to consider when given a choice:
The European Roulette variable does have a lower house edge when compared to the American Roulette Variable.
