American roulette table

American roulette today is one of the two major types of this famous game. Its wheel, table and rules are very similar to those typical for European roulette. All the same, American roulette has its unique character. Here you can bet on your favorite numbers from 1 to 36, but unlike European roulette, American roulette has the following unique features: it has two zero pockets instead of one. They are single zero and double zero. As a result American roulette is a trickier game to play because its house edge is 5.26%, and casino always has advantage over gamblers. On the other hand, double-zero offers you a possibility of additional bets, such as popular five numbers bet covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 with 6 to 1 payout.
