European roulette, sometimes called a French version of roulette game (keep in mind that actually French roulette differs from European roulette as the table layout isn’t the same) is very easy, though gripping to play. Let the fact that the easier game, the higher house edge don’t slip your memory. Though truth be told in comparison to American roulette, European roulette has quite a reasonable house edge. Bear in mind that for the former it’s 5.27% and for the latter it’s 2.7%. If you are keen on playing European roulette in any US casino, it’ll take you effort to find such gambling establishments there, nevertheless it’s possible. But keep in mind that bets are likely to be higher in European roulette and the casinos work not that long as casinos where American roulette is played.
Nonetheless there are a number of differences between American and European roulettes, there are some common rules roulette and they are as follows:
* it’s allowed up to eight players to seat at the same roulette table;
* there’s a croupier who spins a wheel and a ball, though in the opposite direction, he or she operates bets and payouts, players can exchange roulette chips for cash chips in order to cash them in;
* playing chips have no value printed on them, though cash chips are of some worth;
* bets can be laid and chips can be exchanged till the moment when a croupier says ‘no more bets’;
* after a ball lands in some segment of a wheel, and the result is known, meaning that a dolly will be put on the won number, a croupier handles the lost and won bets. All the lost bets will become casino property, and after croupier’s paying to winners new bets can be placed.
European roulette has such an option as imprisonment, when it’s a zero segment that a ball stopped at. Players will be offered either to have half of their bets back at once or have one more spin that will clear up the matter, and if it’s a section that a player hasn’t placed a bet at, then a bet is lost. Though if it’s the right guessed segment, then a player gets the initial bet back. European roulette can use “La Partage” rule suggesting that a player has no option of choosing whether to have half of bet back or have one more spin. Here only one possibility is available, half of money. Partage is literally a fragmentation. Though in European roulette La Partage is allowed to be applied only to outside bets.

Rule roulette can vary lightly. If you consider playing American or European roulette, you’d better pay significant attention to the rules difference. Because later it’ll be of great help to you including the information about rule roulette and house edge, as it’s widely known that American roulette gives an advantage to casinos and minimize players’ payout.
Rule roulette declares that each player has his or her own game, and one player’s win or loss doesn’t influence other players’ spin results. The aim of the game is to guess correctly a slot where a ball will take a final stop. Under the rule roulette it can be even or odd, low or high, black or red numbers, where a ball can land, so players can lay bets as well in the corresponding boxes.
Rule roulette states that there are 37 coloured and counted pockets in European roulette implying there are 36 slots or segments in the range of 1 to 36 and a zero, and 38 slots exist in American roulette having as well the range of 1 to 36 and a zero and a double zero. Due to rule roulette there are three main colours of the pockets and they are black, red and green. Green pocket is 0 in European roulette, and both the 0 and 00 segments are of green colour in American roulette. Pay attention to the fact that pockets are placed not according to their number or to colour variations, but in a chaotic way. Though there can be as well cases when neighbouring pockets are of the same colour and of consecutive value (in American roulette it can be 10-11 black pockets on a board). As a rule roulette number one is always red.
The name of roulette game is translated from French as a small wheel, and it’s really true, because the game equipment is a wheel, a ball and chips with no value, but of different colour. A croupier makes a wheel and a ball gyrating but in the opposite directions to each other and there will be some pocket where it finally will drop. Rule roulette says all those who have right guessed where a ball will stop, are winners, but bear in mind that there are various payouts for various bets.
