Microgaming has added more character and a whole lot more polish to the usual American Roulette game in the American Roulette Gold. What sets it distinctly apart from the equally popular European Roulette and European Roulette Gold is the use of not just one, but two, zero slots. That puts the number of slots to 38, which is one more than the 37 slots in European Roulette.

American Roulette Gold comes with more customization features, particularly with respect to the graphics, sound, as well as the speed of the game. There are definitely more betting options, too, which is always welcome for those who love playing this game.

Depending on the type of bet that is going to be placed by players, American Roulette Gold has different maximum betting limits. Since this game has 38 numbers or slots, players can expect the game to progress faster. However, it also puts the odds in the favor of the house more than of the player unless, of course, a strategy is in place.

There are a number of strategies you can put into place, and two of the most popular ones are the Grand Martingale and the Martingale strategies. Players will choose between Black and Red, or Odd and Even to make their bets. Once they have made the choice, it will be used consistently.

The Martingale strategy holds that, should the bet lose during the round, the player should just double the bet in the next round until eventually when he will win and recoup his losses. The Grand Martingale strategy follows the same basic principle. The bet is doubled on the next round, but it will also be increased by the amount of the original bet that was placed.

Serious players of American Roulette will definitely get a kick out of the expert functions thrown into the Gold version. Some of the expert functions that they can check out include Black Splits, Red Splits and Zero Game, which offers 2 additional bets that were previously excluded in other Roulette games.
