Roulette is a slower game than most and is played with up to 8 players who play against the house. To win at Roulette you need to predict in which slot the ball will land in after each spin. There are 3 main types of Online Casino Roulette, European, French and American. The European and French each have 37 slots on the wheel which is made up of 36 numbers and the Zero. The American version has 38 slots which is made up of 36 numbers and 2 Zeros. There are slight differences in the actual Casino Games...

One thing to be aware of is the difference between American (double 0) and European (Single 0) wheels.  Other than the numerous bets which are available in all versions of the game there are also special betting options found in particular versions of the game. If you play French Roulette you will be able to bet on a betting plan called a “racecourse” which enables you to place multiple bets, referred to as Neighbour of French bets, in one click. Most importantly there is also a rule in the French version called "En Prison" which is effectively a concession whereby you get a 50% stake refund on the even money bets if the 0 is rolled. This has a massive impact on the odds of the game as it effectively halves the Online Casinos house advantage!
