Bitcoin Roulette Games

Roulette succeeded in becoming one of the most widely played table games at Bitcoin casinos. The great technology used in developing the game, authentic gambling atmosphere and realistic sounds attract customers as never before.

People do not necessarily need to leave their homes in order to enjoy a good roulette game. They can simply try their luck, gamble, communicate with others and even play live roulette at Bitcoin casinos.

Roulette as a game has simple rules and several variations. Every roulette game is similar to the others, yet unique. Experienced players know which variation is the best for them and which roulette game strategy to use.

Roulette Payouts

Before analyzing the different roulette games, it is important to know that all of them share the same payout rate. Most of the outside bets pay 1 to 1. This includes betting on red, black, odd, even, 1-18 and 19-36.

Placing wager on 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36 pays 2 to 1. You can also bet on line of six numbers (5 to 1) or the first five numbers (6 to 1). The less numbers are included in your bet, the better the payout is. For this reason corner bet pays 8 to 1, street pays 11 to 1 and split bet pays 17 to 1. Of course, the best payout 35 to 1 is received if you place your wager on a single number.

European Roulette

The most commonly played roulette game is the European Roulette. The main reason why players love it so much is the relatively low house edge of 2.70%, compared to the 5.26% American Roulette house edge.

Beside the spinning wheel, which is a roulette regular feature no matter the game variation, the European layout consists of 37 numbers. Players can bet on single numbers from 1-36 or on the single green zero. The standard roulette inside and outside betting options are accepted when playing European Roulette.

Players can choose to place one or multiple bets on single, neighboring, odd, even or sets of numbers. Another possibility is placing bets on Red or Black.

French Roulette

With the same layout as the European Roulette, the French Roulette has slight game modifications. However, these modifications make it more favorable to the players and lower the house edge to incredible 1.35%.

At the beginnings of this game variation, the standard French table had the wheel in the center, while two layouts were set on the both sides of the wheel. However, these days almost every Bitcoin casino offers one layout next to which is the spinning wheel.

When the game outcome turns out to be the zero, depending on the La Partage or En Prison rule, players do not lose their bet, but they are allowed to keep 50% of the betting amount.

La Partage Rule

To exemplify the La Partage rule, let's imagine that the ball lands on the zero patch. Every player who placed 0.1 BTC bet on red/black or even/odd will receive 0.05 BTC. If this was the case when playing European or American Roulette, the players would lose the whole 0.1 BTC betting amount.

En Prison Rule

The En Prison rule is almost the same to the La Partage rule. If the ball lands on the zero patch players get back 50% of their full betting amount. However, this rule allows them to choose to spin again; if their bet wins they will receive all they wagered.

American Roulette

Even though these days at most Bitcoin casinos the spinning wheel is set next to the layout, interesting fact is that originally this setting was used exclusively when playing American Roulette. Those who are brave players and are not afraid of the high house edge of 5.26% should definitely try American Roulette.

In this game the basic roulette rules apply. However, what makes it different and more risky is the additional double zero field on the layout. Players can place inside or outside bets whose payouts are always the same.

Mini Roulette

The extremely high house edge of 7.69% makes this game very favorable to the house, but not to the players. As the name explains, this is a mini version of the regular European Roulette and its layout has only 13 numbers (1-12, plus the zero).

Roulette Royale

Another modification of the European Roulette is the Roulette Royale. What makes this game unique is the progressive jackpot. Nevertheless, to win the progressive jackpot, a player needs a lot of luck and hit the same number five times in a row. Winning the progressive jackpot is extremely unlikely and hence the jackpot is usually huge.
