Solltest du es spielen?

American Roulette pays the same 35 to 1 as European roulette but adds a second green pocket, which nearly doubles the house edge to 5.26%. The five number bet is worse still at 7.89%. Choose a single zero table if one is available.

How American Roulette works

1 Inside or outside

Place your bets

All standard bets are offered, plus the five number bet covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3, and a racetrack for sector bets.

2 38 pockets

The dealer spins

The ball is spun in a wheel with the numbers 1 to 36, a zero and a double zero.

3 35:1

The ball decides

A straight up win pays 35 to 1 and red or black 1 to 1. The two green pockets beat every outside bet.

Two green pockets

American Roulette from Pragmatic Play uses a wheel with 38 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36, a single zero and a double zero. The payouts are the familiar ones, 35 to 1 for a straight up win down to 1 to 1 for red or black, but because there is one more losing pocket for every bet, the house keeps more of each stake.

The five number bet

The American layout adds a five number bet, which Pragmatic’s rules call the Five Line, covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 and paying 6 to 1. A fair price would be 6.6 to 1, so it is the most expensive bet on the table, with a 7.89% edge.

What it costs

Pragmatic’s help leaves the return figures to each casino’s settings, but the payouts and the 38 pockets fix the price exactly: every ordinary bet returns 94.74%, a 5.26% house edge, and the five number bet returns 92.11%. A single zero table, such as Pragmatic’s standard Roulette, costs 2.70% on the same bets.

The math behind American Roulette

The wheel has 38 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36 and two green pockets, 0 and 00. The game's rules list every bet and its payout. Every figure below comes from those numbers: the house edge is worked out exactly from the payouts and the pockets.

Try it: place your bets

Tap a number for a straight up bet, a line between two numbers for a split, a corner for four numbers, or the edge next to the dozens for a street or six line. Add as many bets as you like.

The green pockets are not red, black, odd, even, high or low, so every outside bet loses when one lands. That is where the house edge comes from.

"A fair price" is the payout that would make a bet break even over time: the pockets it loses on for each pocket it wins on. Every payout here is below it. No RTP figures are published; these are worked out exactly from the payouts and the 38 pockets.

One zero or two

Single zero, 37 pockets

2.70% Hausvorteil

One green pocket out of 37. $1 on red for 100 spins costs about $2.70 on average.

Diese Tabelle

Double zero, 38 pockets

5.26% Hausvorteil

Two green pockets out of 38, almost double the cost: about $5.26 per 100 spins of $1 on red. The five number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) costs even more, 7.89%.

Why the five number bet costs more

Every ordinary bet here returns 94.74%. The five number bet is the exception: it covers 5 pockets, so a fair price would be 6.6 to 1, but it pays 6 to 1 and costs 7.89%. It is the one bet on the table to avoid.

Is there a American Roulette strategy?

No. Every ordinary bet carries a 5.26% edge and the five number bet 7.89%, and no betting pattern moves either figure.

Two zeros, one price

Every ordinary payout is set as if the wheel had 36 numbers. The two green pockets are the edge: 2 in 38, or 5.26%.

Avoid the five number bet

It pays 6 to 1 where a fair price would be 6.6 to 1, which makes it 7.89%, the dearest bet on the layout.
