Here at NetBet <\/span>online casino UK<\/span><\/a>, we ensure that we cover all categories of games to satisfy the palate of all kinds of players. It\u2019s safe to say that <\/span>roulette online<\/span><\/a> is one of the most popular table games in our lobby. When it comes to this game of chance, there are two classic variants you must try – European and American. <\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re different in rules and gameplay features, and if you want to learn more, read our guide on their differences here at <\/span>NetBet<\/span><\/a> Casino.<\/span><\/p>\n

European Roulette<\/b><\/h2>\n

European roulette is the standard game of roulette. It\u2019s pretty close to the original roulette game played in French aristocracy casinos centuries ago. The wheel consists of 37 pockets numbered 0-36. It has one green zero (0) pocket which represents the house edge. The house edge on this variant is 2.70%. This is the roulette game that many label classic, as it represents the original from which all variants are created.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right next to the wheel, there\u2019s a table with inside and outside bets. The inside bets are riskier and allow you to bet on a single number. The so-called straight up bet has a return of 35:1. It\u2019s the riskiest option, of course, as are all inside bets. They offer a better return, but the risk of losing is much higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside bets offer different returns, including 50:50 splits on odd\/even or red\/black. They\u2019re great for new players as they\u2019re easier to grasp and offer a better chance at winning.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Roulette<\/b><\/h2>\n

American roulette is a beefed-up version of the original European wheel. Unlike it, the American wheel has two zero pockets, which drastically increases the house edge. It\u2019s also much riskier to play, but if you ask experienced players, that\u2019s the thrill of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Main Differences<\/b><\/h2>\n

The main difference between European and American roulette is the extra double-zero (00) pocket on the American wheel. It takes the house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%. The good news is that it\u2019s the only big difference between the wheels. European roulette is great for beginners, and you can play it for free right here at NetBet Casino.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also do the same with American roulette, but the risk of losing is much higher. All the inside and outside bets are the same, so save for the higher house edge, the gameplay remains the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

When playing online roulette, it\u2019s a good idea to play with a strategy. First and foremost, you should always play responsibly by setting a budget and sticking to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
