RTGs Version of The Historic Game
RTG American roulette offers Canadians a chance to play this classic casino game. American roulette by RTG was built with software that provides a wheel that has 38 slots. The slots on the wheel include numbers 1 through 36 plus 2 extra slots a 0 and a 00. This is where the game varies from the more traditional version of the game. While the game is called American roulette as it is found in the United States and South Africa, it is also popular in other areas around the world as well.
The game does not begin until all players have placed their bets. Once the wagering is complete the wheel spins in one direction and the ball spins in the other direction. The track for the wheel is slanted so the ball will eventually fall into one of the spaces on it. This will form a combination of color and number and is how the winning bets are determined.
Payouts for the game are based on the odds of the bet. For example, the odds for the ball to land on a single number are 37 to 1. This means that if a player bets on the number 17 and it is where the ball lands the player will win $37 for each $1 that they have bet. There is a negative expected value for each of the winning spaces on the wheel. As with most casino games the house has the advantage on almost every bet.
