The American theme – regardless if it’s meant as a continent or as the United States of America is a topic of many games. There are two reasons for this: One historical – as the states in the USA were very progressive and liberal about gambling. The other reason being pragmatic – when the world’s biggest market and profit is being generated in the USA (brick and mortar casinos) and Canada (mostly online casino) are in America.

Microgaming – American Roulette

American Roulette

The king of casino games. Still one of the most popular and profitable games on the casino floor. American roulette is based on European roulette. The difference is the amount of numbers. While European roulette has 37 numbers with one zero spot, American roulette has 38 numbers and two zeros. One spot is market as 0 and second as 00.

American roulette has a lower return to player (RTP), only 94.7% while European (sometimes called also French) has RTP 97.3%.

However, this bet is the worst possible combination with the expected value on a single $1 is -$0.079, while all another bets have expected value -$0.053.

Betsoft Gaming – American Blackjack

American Blackjack

The objective of the American Blackjack is the same as in European Blackjack: draw cards and hit 21.

The difference is dealer’s hole card when he/she receives first card face up. If the card is an Ace, then the second card is immediately revealed. And now the tricky part – if the second card is 10 or a face card (king, queen or jack), then dealer won the game. Even before the game really starts. All players lose the round.
