In roulette, there will be a rotating wheel, which is called the gambling wheel, with numbered and coloured compartments referred to as pockets. When the game starts, the wheel is subjected to rotation and a ball will be thrown into this wheel.
You have to predict the pocket, let it be the colour or number, that the ball will land on when the wheel stops spinning, that's the game. You will place your bets based on that, and it will be done before the wheel starts spinning. Once, the wheel is rotated, everyone at the table anxiously waits for it to stop, and looks at the movements of the roulette ball, to know whether they have won the game. This is roulette, in general. Now let us see what the American version of the game is.
American RouletteThe roulette wheel has inner pockets and outer pockets. Betting on inner pockets is considered more risky, however, if you win the bet, the winning amount will be higher. Mostly, it is the high rollers who wish to bet on the inner pockets. Betting on the outer pockets is common. And, it is considered more easy to win, if you bet on the outer pockets.
There are different kinds of bets that you can place in American roulette. You can either bet on a single number, a group of numbers, a colour, a combination or more. The single-number bets are confined to the inner pockets of the roulette wheel. All these bets are placed by different players in the game. A small portion of each of the bets that you place will be gone to the house. However, that is not the sole edge that the house has in roulette.
