Roulette is one of the most exciting games among the ones that are offered and in casinos and online casino. We see essentially two different types of roulette: American Roulette and European roulette.

These two types of game are very similar, they differ for two main things. The first is that American roulette has 38 numbers: 18 reds, 18 blacks, a zero and a double zero. The European roulette has instead 37: 18 reds, 18 blacks and one zero. In addition, the layout of the numbers is also different.

The game roulette was born in France in the late 17th century. During the 18th century the game of roulette spread throughout the rest of Europe and the United States, until becoming one of the most popular games of online gambling. In the U.S. the roulette that is used is for obvious reasons the  American one. In Europe, instead, the version with a single zero is used which is much better for the simple reason that in American roulette the dealer has a margin of advantage than the one in the in the European roulette.

Bets can be made by playing one or more chips on different sections of the roulette table. After that all bets are made and the ball is thrown, depending on the number that comes out, you can win or lose. The ball always runs in the opposite direction to that in which the wheel turns.

There are two types of bets you can make in roulette. The first is internal, where the player chooses between a number or a combination of numbers. Then there is the external bet, which is deals with bets that do not involve directly a number. Are outside bets, for example, those made on odd / even, on black / red or the dozens.

Depending on the type of bet that is made, there is a different percentage of winning. For example, to bet on a single number, you win 1 to 35, while for the split, which is made on two numbers, it surpassed 1 to 17. Finally, for those red / black or odd / even, who have the best odds for the player, the payout is 1 to 1.

Some online casinos also offer the chance to play the special bets, which are added to the usual options of the game of roulette. Usually these special games are in addition to the classical ones. For example, some roulette tables allow you to play for a progressive jackpot that grows for every bet is placed.
