American Roulette Online
We've heard some of our players say American roulette is like its European counterpart on steroids due to the increased risks and rewards. Well, everything's bigger in America - even the games that seem to have found their classic formula a century ago. The best part of it is that playing American roulette online can be as satisfying as it is in real life. But where does one get started?
In this article, we are exploring your American roulette experience at Lucky Tiger Casino. Create your account now, then come back to this text to learn about the game's basics, how a typical roulette session unfolds, and what mindset to adopt for winning. In addition to that, you'll also learn about our Live American Roulette options!
Basic American Roulette Rules
American Roulette Rules aren't that different from the European type – just remember it has 38 slots, including numbers 1 to 36, a single zero (0), and a double zero (00). For straight bets, both the single zero (0) and double zero (00) act as "house pockets."
Like most games of chance, American roulette is easy to learn but slightly more challenging to master. Let's imagine ourselves playing American Roulette online at Lucky Tiger. The first thing you should pay attention to after the game loads is that the layout offers various betting options. Without getting into detail, you can choose to bet on single numbers (straight bets), groups of numbers (like rows or columns), or even colors (red or black).
How it Works
Let's illustrate how to play American roulette with an imaginary session:
Stage 1: Betting
Before the virtual dealer spins the wheel, you decide to bet on black. American roulette offers various betting options, but for this session, you're feeling lucky and want a simple win. You place your chips on the designated black section of the betting layout, adjusting the bet amount using the buttons on the control panel.
Stage 2: Wheel in Motion
You confirm your bet with a click. The exciting animation shows the dealer virtually throwing the ball into the spinning wheel. The roulette wheel slows down, creating suspense as the ball bounces between the numbered slots.
Stage 3: Outcome
The ball finally settles into a slot. A spotlight illuminates the winning number - it's number 18! A digital voice announces, "Winning number 18, black!". The virtual croupier sweeps away losing bets and pushes your winning chips toward your stack. American roulette pays out winning bets on black (and red) at a 1:1 ratio. So, you win double your original bet!
Strategies
While we strongly support the idea that there's no universal and all-conquering American roulette strategy, it doesn't mean you should play without giving it some thought. For that, being at least remotely familiar with some approaches is vital. In essence, there are three major strategies:
- Outside Bets (Newcomer's Best Choice): Placing bets on larger sections like red/black, odd/even, or high/low numbers offers almost a 50/50 chance of winning but lower payouts.
- Paroli (Low Risk, Moderate Reward): Increasing your bet only after wins and resetting after a loss allows for smaller wins but minimizes losses.
- Martingale (High Risk, High Reward): Doubling your bet after every loss aims to recoup losses eventually with a win. However, it requires a buffed-up budget and can lead to quick losses.
