Roulette rules are basically the same whether you are playing American or European Roulette. The difference between European and American Roulette is that on the European Roulette wheel there is only one zero as opposed to double zeros on the American Roulette Wheel.
The benefit of playing with fewer zeroes means better odds for the players as opposed to more zeroes which makes better odds for the house. So it is to your advantage to play European Roulette as opposed to playing American Roulette.
Regarding the Roulette wheel you will find that with European Roulette the wheel has 37 numbers –inclusive zero—and the American Roulette has 38 with the double zero. You will find quite often the house edge for American Roulette is 5.3% as opposed to 2.7% for European Roulette.
When playing at an online casino you will find that the roulette rules are the same as a land based casino, but that there are other differences when playing at an online casino. Where the ball will eventually land s in an online casino Roulette wheel is all dependent
upon the software called the Random Number Generator –RNG--.
With a RNG this piece of software is constantly producing thousands of random numbers every second, and those random numbers are extracted when an event occurs –such as the roulette wheel been spun--. These numbers are mapped until the end when the ball ends up landing on a number which gives you total randomness and appropriate odds.
