Types of Online Roulette
Unsurprisingly given its rich history, roulette has taken on many different variations and formats over the centuries. Here are the main types of Roulette on offer today, all available at Mr Green Casino:
French Roulette
This is classic Roulette with all the bells and whistles. With French Roulette, you’ll find 37 numbered pockets on the wheel, as well as a single zero pocket, which puts the house edge at 2.7%. French roulette is therefore similar to classic European roulette, with one crucial difference.
Unlike European Roulette, French roulette has two unique features: en prison and la partage. La partage is a rule that stipulates that, whenever the ball lands on the zero pockets, the player gets 50% of their stake back. Meanwhile, en prison allows the player to “imprison” their stake if they lose a bet and try again. If the imprisoned bet wins the next round, the player wins their stake back.
European Roulette
European roulette is virtually identical to French Roulette, with the numbers and the house edge remaining the same. The only difference is that European roulette does not often include la partage or en prison.
American Roulette
They say everything is bigger in the land of the free, and that is true of the roulette wheel. In American Roulette, the wheel has an extra double zero pocket (00), meaning that there are two separate zero pockets. This boosts the house edge up to 5.27%, therefore, players will find it harder to win at American roulette.
Multi-Wheel Roulette
Why play one game of roulette when you can play several? As the name suggests, multi-wheel roulette is a hugely popular form of Online Roulette that allows you to wager on multiple roulette wheels all at the same time. This is a roulette variant that requires focus, strategy, and the ability to hold your nerve.
