In this guide, I will list the popular roulette variations that you find both online and land based casinos. If you are new to roulette, it’s advisable for you to play all variations so as to select the best of choice.
American Roulette
This was the first version of roulette and is the most popular variation available online. Its difference is noticeable when comparing it with its European cousin. The American Roulette wheel has a single zero and a double zero slot and both are green. Its house edge advantage is about 5.26% higher compared to other casino games such as blackjack and craps.

European Roulette
This is another popular variation available online and it is almost similar to the American roulette but the difference is that it does not have a double zero slot. It has a house edge of 2.63% and another difference is that if the ball lands on zero, players who placed bets other than zero will lose half of their bets whereas with the American roulette, players who placed bets other than zero will lose their entire bets.
Royale Roulette
This is another popular and exciting variation that offers a progressive jackpot if the same number is hit five times consecutively. The progressive jackpot gradually increases as you play and it can reach up to thousands or millions of dollars depending which casino you are playing at.
It is designed with two main types of bets – inside bets and outside bets. The inside bets – wagering on any number from 0 – 36. Outside bets – wagering on either black or red or various combinations of numbers.
French Roulette
This variation has been designed with two types of outside bets – even money and dozen bets. In addition, there is the call bet at which a player can predict the resting of the ball in context with the large betting action. This variation is very complex and you certainly need to master the basic variations before you can tackle on this one.
