When you think of roulette, you think of the wheel, the ball, and all the adrenaline that comes with it, right? Well, what if we told you that there are different types of roulette? Shocked? Don\u2019t be. It\u2019s normal. Most players go to the big wheel to just have a blast and try their luck at hitting one of the numbers and lining their pockets with hardly-won cash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, if you are looking to become a pro and enjoy roulette to the full extent, you need to know the difference. That\u2019s why we, the HighBet crew, decided to give you a lowdown on all the different roulette games out there, what makes them unique, and how to pick the one that\u2019s best for you!<\/p>\n

The Different Roulettes<\/h2>\n

There are three basic roulette wheel layouts: European, American, and French. Of course, some of them come with their special extra rules, but the basics are the same.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

European Roulette<\/h3>\n

Widely regarded as the most popular and best wheel layout. Definitely not the most widespread, though. The European wheel has 36 numbers + the zero, giving you 2.60% at hitting a winner on a single spot bet. The extra number (zero) gives the house edge.<\/p>\n

The maximum payout for a single number bet is 35-to-1, which is why there\u2019s the zero to give the house the edge – at 2.65%<\/p>\n

American Roulette<\/h3>\n

The American-style roulette was popularized back at the end of 18th century, but when it first came out it was almost the same as the European one, with a 1-36 number layout, a 0, and the American touch is the 00 – the double zero. At first, the roulette wheels had an American Eagle.<\/p>\n

Compared to the European-styled roulette and the French, it has the lowest odds, but that\u2019s not always a bad thing, now, is it? It means there\u2019s a lot more excitement and a lot more pleasure when winning! The house edge is double here – standing at 5.3%!<\/p>\n

French Roulette<\/h3>\n

The French roulette is the one that is most \u201cgenerous\u201d and \u201cforgiving\u201d, but not the most popular. The layout is the same as in the European one, but there are extra mechanisms and rules that help the player to stay longer in the game!<\/p>\n

For example, if you play an outside bet and lose because the ball has landed on a zero, you get half your money back. This is due to the \u2018la partage\u2019 rule, which translates to \u2018to share\u2019.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also another rule, \u2018En Prison\u2019, which is very similar to \u2018la partage\u2019, but it goes like this – if you make an even-numbered outside bet and the ball lands on zero, you have a choice – either get half your money back, or play the same full bet again on the house – something like a free spin with a locked bet.<\/p>\n

The French roulette offers the highest odds for players, and lowest house advantage, which sits at 1.35%<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Roulette is one of the darlings in every online or land-based casino, and it\u2019s no wonder – there are varieties that suit players of all types – high-rollers or just plain long-strechers, roulette is a game for all.<\/p>\n

We suggest you always pick the game that provides a balance between the two pillars of gambling experience – excitement and chance. Find a game with a good chance, and with good features that keep you excited and engaged – and you\u2019ve found your source of fun which will keep you entertained for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
