| Cryptologic offers three different
versions of Roulette: American Roulette, European Roulette
and VIP European Roulette. We will explain the differences
between these three different types of Cryptologic Roulette
below, but you are advised to first read our general introduction
to Roulette Rules
and Roulette
Strategy.
Cryptologic's American Roulette
American Roulette is played with a Roulette
wheel consisting of 38 numbers, including the Zero and the Double
Zero. The house edge for standard American Roulette is 5.26%,
but Cryptologic also offers a variant of surrender, called the
"Zero or Double Zero Rule". In standard American Roulette
an even-money bet (high-low bet, black-red bet, odd-even bet)
doesn't pay when you lose to a Zero or a Double Zero, but in
Cryptologic's version of American Roulette, you will only lose
half your original bet. The result is that the house edge on
even-money bets in Cryptologic American Roulette, drops from
the standard 5.26% to 2.63%. The house edge of the remaining
bets stays the same.
Cryptologic's European Roulette
European Roulette is played with a Roulette
wheel consisting of 37 numbers, thereby omitting the Double
Zero that is found in American Roulette. The direct implication
is that the house edge on European Roulette is 2.70% on *all*
bets, as compared to 5.26% with American Roulette.
Cryptologic's VIP European Roulette
VIP European Roulette is the best Roulette
game Cryptologic has to offer. Just like standard European Roulette
most bets have a house edge of 2.70%. However, VIP European
Roulette also offers a variant of surrender, called the "Zero
or Double Zero Rule". Normally, an even-money bet (high-low
bet, black-red bet, odd-even bet) doesn't pay when you lose
to a Zero or a Double Zero, but in VIP European Roulette, you
will only lose half your original bet. The result is that the
house edge on even-money bets in VIP European Roulette drops
even further to a very low 1.35%, making VIP European Roulette
one of the best Roulette games available online.
