The Difference Between European and American Roulette

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

The American wheel, however, has 38 pockets: numbers 1 through 36, a single zero (0), and a double zero (00).

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

The Mathematics of the Two Wheels

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

Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.

Special European Roulette Rules

The “La Partage” rule dictates that if the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your even-money bet.

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

Game Wheel Numbers Edge with La Partage
French 37 1.35%
American 38 N/A

The conclusion is incredibly simple: you should always seek out and exclusively play European or French roulette.
