In North America and the Caribbean, roulette wheels have a double zero, and all bets (except a direct bet on the selected zero) are lost when either zero turns up. The result is significantly poorer odds for the punter and an increase in the Casino’s profitability. This is probably why in this region, Roulette is less popular than it is in other parts of the world.
The rules are the same as for European Roulette except that the double zero works in the same way as a single zero result.
Some American casinos do allow an additional bet called a “basket bet” which is staked by placing chips in the same way as for a line bet on the outside of the dividing line between the zero row and the row featuring 1, 2 and 3. This bet normally pays out 6 to 1 which gives it odds worse than any other roulette bet. If possible always play European Roulette and avoid American roulette!
