To play American Roulette, place your chips on the betting grid to cover the bets you want to play. Once betting closes, the wheel spins, and after a few moments, the ball lands in the winning pocket. If you cover the winning number, the winnings will reflect instantly in your account, and you can cash out or re-bet.
American roulette is one of the most popular casino games in the world. If you are new to roulette or the American version, this guide is for you. We’ll look at what makes American roulette different and provide an in-depth guide that explains strategies and the types of bets.

To play American roulette, select the chip value, set your bets, spin the wheel, wait for the outcome, collect the wins, or place new bets. The step-by-step guide on how to play American Roulette is listed below.
The rules of American roulette are selecting a table, placing your bets, betting flexibility, ball drop, payouts, table limits, and dealer responsibilities. The section below provides more details about each rule.
The American roulette wheel layout is easy to recognise. There are 38 pockets, two are green (0 and 00), and the rest alternate between red and black, numbering from 1 to 36. How is this different from other roulette types? European and French roulette share the same wheel design of 37 pockets. Only one pocket is green (0,) and the rest alternate between black and red (1 to 36). American roulette’s extra green pocket increases the house edge, making other roulette varieties more favourable toward players.
The American roulette table layout is not too different from European roulette. You will still find all of the same inside and outside betting options. There is an additional betting block for the double zero at the top of the numbers columns.
Types of bets in American roulette are inside bets and outside bets. The sections below provide more details about these bets and their sub-types.
Inside bets are found inside the main betting grid and focus exclusively on numbers or groups of numbers. Inside bets are harder to win, but they offer the best payouts. Inside bets include straight-up, split, street, corner, five, and line bets. Below is an overview of inside bets.
Outside bets have betting boxes outside of the main grid. Outside bets cover numbers but in large groups and unusual ways (for example, selecting a colour instead of a number). The types of outside bets include columns, dozens, colour, odd/even, and low/high bets. The section below provides more insight into each bet.
Tips for playing American roulette include practice, understanding the odds, and bankroll management. These tips are explained in more detail below.
The strategies for playing American roulette include the Martingale, Fibonacci, and D’Alembert systems. These strategies are explained in detail below.
