Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in casino history.

Choosing the wrong version of roulette is the most common and costly mistake new players make.

The Impact of the Double Zero

A European roulette wheel features 37 pockets in total: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0).

The addition of the 00 pocket effectively doubles the casino's built-in mathematical advantage over the player.

• The extra number changes all probability calculations
• The betting layout is slightly larger on the American table
• European tables often use a different chip system

Why the House Edge Matters

Conversely, the American wheel's extra double zero pushes the house edge up to a massive 5.26%.

There is absolutely no mathematical justification for ever choosing to play American roulette if European is available.

Special European Roulette Rules

The "En Prison" rule "imprisons" your bet for the next spin if the zero hits, giving you a second chance.

This makes French roulette one of the most mathematically favorable table games on the entire casino floor.

Online casinos almost always offer both, so be vigilant and always click on the European wheel.
