American Roulette: Back to the Spinning Wheel for a Simple Classic

If you enjoy table games, American Roulette by Storm Gaming Technology is one to look out for. If you're not familiar with the rules, here's a quick breakdown. The wheel has 38 numbered pockets, and your job is to predict where the ball lands once the wheel stops.

In this case, you choose chips from a handy layout on the left side of the screen and place them. You can do so either on a single number for the big payout, on a small group for the middle ground, or on the wide outside bets like red or black, even or odd, where odds and wins both stay lower.

We all know that roulette has that specific appeal and is one of the gambling pioneers, with the modern wheel tracing back to 18th-century France, and there are two versions. The American one differs from the European in a small but important way. An extra 00 pocket on the wheel that nudges the house edge higher.

In my session, I leaned on outside bets first to find a rhythm, then started chasing colors when red dropped three times in a row, and I figured a fourth was coming. It wasn't. After that, I scaled back, doubled chips on a dozen that finally landed for 3x my bet, threw a corner bet near the numbers I kept watching.

Toward the end of my playthrough, I risked one straight number that actually hit for 36x my bet. That one felt unreal, and I don’t remember the last time that happened. The rest of the returns mostly stayed in the 2x to 3x range, and the losses still outweighed the wins by far, which is roulette doing what roulette does.

Overall, there's not much new in this edition, and it really comes down to which version of the wheel you prefer. The interface stays out of the way, which is all I ask. My session didn't break my way, and outside the visuals, that’s the only thing that counts.
