American Roulette

About American Roulette

American Roulette is a table game from G Games, distributed through Light & Wonder. It is not a slot. The game uses the American wheel, which has 38 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36, a single zero and a double zero. That extra double-zero pocket is the key difference from European Roulette, and it gives American Roulette a lower theoretical return.

Play is simple: place bets on where the ball will land, then the wheel spins and the ball settles in one pocket to decide the winners. At Midnite the RTP is 94.74%, which is standard for American Roulette and reflects the house edge of 5.26% created by the two green zeros. Stakes start from £1.00 per round.

How to Play American Roulette

Place your chips on the betting layout before the spin. You can make inside bets on specific numbers or small groups, or outside bets on larger groups such as colour or odd and even. The wheel then spins, the ball drops into a pocket, and winning bets are paid at fixed odds. Stakes at Midnite start from £1.00 per round.

Inside bets carry higher payouts and lower odds of winning. A straight-up bet on one number pays 35 to 1, a split on two numbers pays 17 to 1, and the groupings continue down through streets, corners and lines. Outside bets pay less but win more often: red or black, odd or even, and high or low all pay 1 to 1, while columns and dozens pay 2 to 1. The American-only Basket bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) pays 6 to 1 but carries a lower 92.11% return, so it is the weakest bet on the table.

American Roulette Theme and Symbols

There is no narrative theme. The screen shows the American wheel and the betting layout, with chips placed on numbers and groups. Presentation across G Games table titles is clean and functional, built around the wheel and the felt rather than around characters.

The working elements are the numbered pockets, the ball and the chips. The two green zeros are the ones that matter most, since they are what set American Roulette apart from the European version and shape its return.
