The word 'roulette' is french for 'small wheel'. The original roulette game was also known as 'French Roulette' and it literally took over the European gambling scene in the early 18th century. Today almost all French Roulette tables around the world have been replaced by a European version of the American Roulette.
The American and the European roulette table layouts are practically the same, the main difference is that the European table has one zero position (0) and the American table has two zero positions (0, 00). The other major difference is the sequence of the numbers on the roulette wheel. They are totally different.
The French roulette too has one zero only, but the table layout is slightly different and wider (see picture of table layout below), and there are no individual coloured chips for the players, cash chips are used. Also, a stick is used by the dealer and stickman to announce the winning number, to collect the chips from the table and to pay the winners, which makes the game slower than the American version.
In the American and European roulette individual coloured chips are used for each player and after the outcome the losing chips are collected from the table by hand and the winnings are paid by hand. Play is much faster than the French roulette.
In French casinos 'American Roulette' means a roulette game with double zeros (0, 00 - on the table layout and on the wheel), the same as used in the USA. The American roulette with one zero (or the European version) is referred to as English Roulette to distinguish it from the double-zero American Roulette and to emphasize that it has one zero only (as used in the UK).
However, in many countries (including the UK) the single-zero European roulette is called American Roulette to distinguish it from the French roulette table layout and for the manner the game is played. In some African countries they call it 'Roulette with French numeration on American table'.
To sum up:
- American Roulette can have a single zero or a double zero, but the manner it is played is the same for both, and play is faster than French Roulette. Apart from the zero positions, the table layout is the same. The other major difference is in the roulette wheel, the sequence of the numbers on the wheel is totally different.
- European Roulette, a term mostly used in the USA, is roulette with a single zero regardless of the table layout, could refer to either the American Roulette with a single zero or to the French Roulette as both use the same type of roulette wheel with the same sequence of numbers.
- French Roulette is known everywhere as French Roulette, has a single zero, a wide table layout and have Stickmen that handle the chips.
- American Roulette in USA casinos and in French casinos is referred to the American Roulette with double zeros (0, 00).
- American Roulette in non-US and non-French casinos (for example: in United Kingdom casinos) is referred to the American Roulette with a single zero. In some European casinos the American single zero roulette is called Fair Roulette.
- English Roulette, a term commonly used in French casinos, is referred to the American Roulette with a single zero, as used in United Kingdom casinos.

The table layout on the French version of roulette is different from the American style roulette table shown above. The main difference is in the position of the side bets (outside bets). The side bets on the French table are split in two and run along both sides of the table layout. Each side bet is given its French name and sometimes also its English translation underneath.
Roulette Announced Bets or Call Bets (Used in French roulette tables and in some European casinos with single-zero wheel roulette tables. Common in most UK casinos with single-zero wheel American style roulette tables.)
These bets consist of a group of numbers and there are 5 types:
Number Neighbours bet/Neighbors bet (Voisin du Nombre): 5 chips bet on a number which covers the number itself and the two numbers on either side of it on the roulette wheel.
Zero Neighbours bet (Voisins du Zero): 9 chips bet covers Zero plus seven numbers on right, and nine numbers on left, 0/2/3 + 25/26/28/29, each with 2 chips, 4/7 + 12/15 + 18/21 + 19/22 + 32/35, each with 1 chip.
A Third section of the Wheel bet (Tiers du Cylindre): 6 chips split bets cover numbers from the 33 to the 27 on the roulette wheel, 5/8 + 10/11 + 13/16 + 23/24 + 27/30 + 33/36, each with 1 chip.

Roulite or Roulight table layout
Roulite or Roulight is the modern variety of Roulette. A table game that has been developed in the first instance by specialists at the Wiesbaden Casino, Wiesbaden, Germany.
The game is dynamic and very fast. Players, who like to play sectors and neighbours love it. Bets can only be placed on full numbers (staight up), on two connected numbers (split), neighbours of numbers and sections of the wheel. No outside bets.
La Boule table layout and wheel
Boule or La Boule is a simple and fast game that is similar to Roulette, popular in French casinos and can now be played online.
The game features a table and a wheel with only 9 numbers and 3 different colours. The wheel is spun and a small rubber ball bounces around the wheel before settling into one of the coloured holes to determine the outcome.
Betting will be familiar to Roulette players with the table layout providing a range of betting options. Players can place a bet on Red or Black, Odd or Even, High or Low, or on individual numbers of the wheel.
The number 5, coloured yellow, plays in a similar way to the zero (0 or 00) in normal Roulette. You can bet on it like any other individual number, but if the number 5 is spun then only the bets on 5 win and all other bets lose.
Because there are less numbers in Boule, the chances of spinning a 5 are greater than a zero being spun in normal Roulette, which makes the house edge of La Boule higher than Roulette.
If you bet on the winning number then you are paid 7:1, which is the payout for all bets on individual numbers, and 1:1 on all other bets.
CAMMEGH spread-bet roulette table layout and display board
Spread-bet roulette is a unique CAMMEGH (cammegh.com) concept adding seven roulette side bets, offering the players the chance to win high payouts with one spin of the wheel (also increased house edge to the casino). Seven additional betting circles are added to the regular table layout, located among the outside bets as shown on the photo below.
How it works: A set of electronic numbers, independent from the roulette wheel numbers, act as a secondary wheel on the electronic billboard display along with a set representing the actual roulette wheel numbers, forming two concentric rings spinning in opposing directions, as shown on the billboard display photo below.
When 'no more bets' is announced, the two rings on the display stop, randomly aligning the two sets of numbers. This takes place before the ball on the actual roulette wheel comes to a stop and lands on the winning number.
When the ball stops, the corresponding winning number on the display ring is then paired with its aligning electronic number. The sum of these paired numbers determines the spread-bet result. The billboard display continuously shows the electronic number results alongside the regular roulette number results (see photo below, on the left side of the display).

Basic Rules in American Roulette
Every American roulette online player has to be familiar with the rules and how to play American roulette. If you have ever played any of the roulette games, then you know that the concept of the game revolves around the spinning wheel where the ball spins. Even though American roulette online is quite a challenging and risking game, it regularly attracts more and more players to try their luck. If you would like to become one of them or simply take a look at how the game goes, get familiar with the brief guide for American roulette we prepared for you.
- Select chip value. First of all, you need to define the amount of chips you bet. The more “complex” bit is, the more chips you need but for the single number bets, you can use a single chip per one number. Once you decide the amount of the money you are going to invest, you need to pick your wager and place the chips.
- Place your bets. You are allowed to place bets as long as the dealer has not announced that there are no more bets that are accepted, which means that he will, as soon as the wheel stops, announce the wining number.
- Waiting for the winning number. To play American version, the next step is to wait for the dealer who throws the ball into the wheel and wait until the wheel stops.
- Dealer calculates each bid. The ball stops either on a black, red or green (double zero or zero) slot. Once it stops, the dealer will reveal the number and he will retain all the nets that are lost. Now, he will calculate the player’s earnings and give them their profit.
Whether you play the double zero roulette or a single zero version, the rules remain the in all games. The only thing that is different is the odds layout and payouts, which are leaning slightly towards the house in this version. Generally speaking, this does not have to be true always. But when we consider the statistics and mathematical analyses, the player does not have that advantage as it has in other versions.
American Roulette Wheel and Table Layout
Every American roulette free game contains the 38 pockets, where you have numbers from 1 to 36, plus zero and double zero slot, which is the main difference between the online American roulette and other versions. Also, due to double zero slot, note that numbers on the wheel are placed slightly different, which also resulted in a bit different table layout. Everything else on the American roulette wheel is the same as it is on other wheels in other versions. The double zero is what gives the free American roulette an advantage. The zero and double zero are green colored, while the rest of numbers, like in other versions, are either red or black. Besides these three colors, the layout offers pretty much the same betting options on every roulette wheel layout.
Layout Of American Roulette Wheel
The American roulette for real money allows you to place: red/black, odd/even, 1st,2nd and 3d 12 numbers, as well as columns and halves bets. The red/black allows you to bet on either of these two colors (the green is not covered obviously) while odd/even relate to the type on number (even or odd). Then you have the “multiple” choice bet. This is 1st,2nd and 3d 12 and it covers the first, second or third 12 numbers in the row. Lastly, roulette online for cash offers the columns that cover the section of numbers on the left, center or right column, while the halves cover two parts 0-18 and 19-36 numbers.
Types of Bets – Double Zero Roulette
All roulette online, free games or any American roulette game offers you a handful of wagering options that you can use through your gambling career. Before each round on the American roulette table, the players can choose: inside bets and outside bets, where each category consists of several wagering options. Inside bet implies you trusting your cash to a single number. This is how you increase your payout but lower an actual chance to win. At the same time, outside bets make sure your chances are higher since you can place your bet on the group of numbers. The first one consists of straight up, split, street, corner, five and line bet.
- Straight up is a bet on the single number, including numbers zero and double zero.
- Split is placing a bet on two numbers, by placing chips on the line between the two numbers.
- Street features placing chips on three numbers in a row that is placed on the line at the end of the row.
- Corner bet marks betting on the four numbers that are next to each other, by placing chips on the corner/line where they touch each other.
- Five bet is placing a bet on the 5 numbers (usually 0,00,1,2,3) by putting chips on the end of two rows, on the line that separates them.
- Line bet covers six numbers and the chips are placed at the end of the row, on the border that divides them.
The outside bets in roulette for real money cover the outer section of numbers and consist of column, dozen, color, odd/even, low/high bet.
- Column bet is placing a bet on the entire column of numbers relates to the 2:1 numbers at the end of column.
- Dozen bet is covering 12 numbers, where you can cover numbers on the first box (1-12), the second (13-24) and the third (25-36).
- Betting on color is simple, as you need to predict which color will ball land on (red or black).
- Odd/Even is the same as previous, with the difference that we look whether the ball landed on an even or odd number.
- Low/High is placing bets on lower set or higher set of numbers, as you have a field on table 19-36 and 1-18, covering the presented numbers.
In the roulette free online games, especially in the double wheel roulette, you have to know which wager means what so you could play professionally and achieve success! Therefore, spend some time on the learning, as well as on the practicing of these so you could know how to win and apply the wagers in the game.

House Edge
Whether you play online for real money or you play for free, the house edge is something that defines what the advantage the gambling house has over the players. Whenever you look at the payout in roulette, you have to always have in mind that the house edge should be as low as possible to increase your chances for winning. The online roulette American game has 5.26% house edge! Just for the comparison, the European roulette has nearly half of that amount, but this version offers more entertainment as it has the double zero pocket! While the payouts remain the same in all online for money roulette versions, you still have fewer chances for win in American than in European game! While the American version has 94.74% of the RTP (return to player), it still means that for every investment of $1,000, the house will take $52.60. It does not mean that the player will not be able to achieve some substantial profit from it, but the statistics show that the casino has a slight advantage over the player. Therefore, the roulette free spins are a great way to test the casino. Of course, this should be your guideline but you never know your chances. The best thing you can do to beat the house edge is to develop and practice your strategies!
Surrender Rule
One thing that you will learn when you decide to play money American roulette is the surrender rule that allows you to retrieve half of your lost bet. American roulette play is characterized by this wager and you should always use the advantage of it whenever you can! It can be applied when you play online for free as well. This helps you to “theoretically” win American roulette when you choose the odd/even bet and the ball lands on zero or double zero slot. In this case, you get half of your bet returned while the second half goes to the house. This, in theory, decreases the house edge to 2.63$ from 5.26% which means you have better chances to win in this game! Instead of losing, you can “surrender” and retrieve 50% of your bet, which is a good way to cover your loses and learn to play. Whenever you are not sure, you can hit the surrender button! This way, you can save some money instead of losing everything from the wager you have placed!
