Roulette is one of the famous 'wheel' casino online games. It is fun to play and there are various types of online casino roulette games such as American Roulette, French or European Roulette. The idea of roulette is that you bet on one or more numbers, odd / even, black and red, and if the ball that spins around the roulette wheel lands on the slot that you bet on… you win.

For a serious gambler, online casino roulette would be one of the first casino choices of gambling. This game is the most popular since it offers consistent chances of winning (nearly 50%). The game is very simple and offers a huge number of betting options. The basic online casino roulette wheel comprises of 37 numbered slots. Its variations are European Roulette that consists of 37 slots and American Roulette that consists of 38 slots, the extra slot is marked with a 00.

American Roulette is one of the most popular table games at casinos the world over. Dating back to the 18th Century and Revolutionary France, roulette actually means "small wheel" in French. A small wheel it may be, but the winnings from American Roulette are anything but tiny.

American roulette differs from its European and French counterparts by the addition of a double zero (00) slot on the wheel. However, the aim of the game is the same. Namely, to correctly predict into which of the numbered slots the ball will fall into whilst it is spun by the croupier.

A range of bets are available to the player, including predicting that the ball will settle on a certained coloured slot, number (even or odd) or both. It is possible to bet on a range of numbers and colours but it is advised to ensure that your bet is less than your eventual payout, otherwise you'll lose even if you win.

The American Roulette wheel consists of 38 slots with numbers from 1-36 that are colored black and red with 0 and 00 that are colored green. The 00 in the American wheel was established to increase the odds of the House. The freedom of a number of options to choose from is the most attractive element of the game. American online casino roulette has the same rules of an online casino roulette game but only consists of an extra (00) number. Again making wise bets will help you in the long run.
