Differences in American, French and European Roulette

The very first type of Roulette game ever played was the French Roulette, back in the eighteenth century.  But over time, this game has evolved to various versions which are two of the most popular Roulette games today:  The American Roulette and the European Roulette.

However, in some casinos in the United Kingdom, French Roulette still dominates the gambling scene and should we find ourselves playing one, we must know the basic differences among the three types so we will know how to play it right.

Game play however, is pretty much the same among the three Roulette games.  What we will notice is the different lay out of the tables.

Table Lay-Out

Between the American Roulette and the European Roulette, there is only one distinguishing factor here and that is the addition of two zeros on the American Roulette table.

While the American Roulette gives players one more betting option with its double zero, the house advantage in the European Roulette is decreased by a noticeable margin; from more than five percent in the American Roulette and only over two percent in the European version.

Another distinguishing factor between the two is that the European Roulette has an added feature which allows players to get back half of their wager should no winning pockets be drawn; or leave their bets on the same pocket for another chance at the wheel.  This additional feature is called En Prison.

As for the French Roulette, the table lay out here differs in that the outside betting section on the table is divided into two.  This means that both sides of the table include options for outside bets.

French Roulette does have one zero as well just like the European Roulette version.  While the American and European versions give players different colors of chips to distinguish one from the next; French Roulette only uses what are called cash chips.

While a croupier or dealer manages the table on American and European Roulette, a stickman manages French Roulette tables.

In the French version, there is also a betting option which is called Finales.  This betting option allows players to wager on a specific group of numbers ending in the same number like seven, seventeen and twenty-seven.
