American Roulette by Belatra Games

Provider: Belatra Games | Type: American Roulette | RTP: 94.74% | Volatility: Low–Medium

American Roulette by Belatra Games uses the traditional double-zero wheel — 38 pockets (0, 00, and 1–36) — which is the defining characteristic that separates it from European variants. Belatra's land-based heritage gives the game a classic, no-frills presentation: clean table layout, crisp wheel animation, and a straightforward interface that suits players who prefer function over visual elaboration. The double-zero wheel carries a higher house edge than European Roulette — an important consideration before choosing this variant.

Game Overview

How to Play

1. Select your chip value from the chip selector

2. Place chips on any combination of inside and outside bets on the table

3. Press Spin to launch the wheel

4. The ball lands in a numbered or zero pocket — winning bets pay automatically

5. Use Rebet to repeat the previous chip placement

Note: American Roulette has two zero pockets — 0 and 00 — positioned separately on the wheel. Both are green. All standard outside bets lose when either zero lands.

American vs European Roulette: Key Differences

Important: The Five Number Bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) carries a higher house edge of 7.89% — it is the worst single bet available in American Roulette and is generally avoided by experienced players.

Why Choose American Roulette?

American Roulette's higher house edge means it is mathematically less favourable than European variants for long-run play. Players choose it primarily for:

• Familiarity with the double-zero format from land-based casinos

• The additional 00 pocket creating slightly different betting dynamics

• The availability of the Five Number Bet (unique to American Roulette)

For players who prioritise the lowest possible house edge, European Roulette is the better choice at FatBet.
