Bovada American Roulette game is among the table games, which enjoys the greatest popularity in casinos. The game tends to become more popular at casinos in Asia and the United Kingdom but is somehow avoided by players in Europe, as their focus is primarily on the European version of roulette. As we already noted, the Bovada American Roulette game wheel has 38 divisions, where numbers from 1 to 36, 0 and 00 can be found. Numbers from 1 to 36 are alternately colored in red and black, while the single zero and the double zero are marked in green. The main objective, which any player pursuits, is to predict, which numbered pocket the roulette ball is going to settle into. In order to do that, all players make bets on a particular number, after which the dealer turns the roulette wheel in one direction and spins the roulette ball in the opposite. Once the ball finds its way into the pocket with that particular number, the respective players get paid. All 38 numbers are identically arranged on the wheel, thus, the ball has an equal probability to settle in any of the divisions.

Once all players have received their chips, they are allowed to begin placing bets. These bets are usually made on the roulette table, where all the different betting options are visualized. Players may put their chips either on a single bet or on a combination of bets. Next, the dealer will spin the roulette wheel. What is important to note is that bets can be placed, moderated and removed even after the wheel is spun, but not after the dealer cuts off betting by calling out ”no more bets”. After this call from the dealer, players are not allowed to change the bets they made.
