<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in casino history.<br>
<br>European and American roulette may look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the math differs wildly.<br>
The Difference is in the Zeros
<br>The single most important difference between the two games lies entirely in the number of green zero pockets.<br>
<br>The addition of the 00 pocket effectively doubles the [casino](https://maru.bnkode.com/@phyllisbarrett)'s built-in mathematical advantage over the player.<br>
The extra number changes all probability calculationsThe betting layout is slightly larger on the American tableEuropean tables often use a different chip system
The Mathematics of the Two Wheels
<br>Because the European wheel has only one zero, the house edge is a very reasonable 2.70%.<br>
<br>Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.<br>
Special European Roulette Rules
<br>The "La Partage" rule dictates that if the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your even-money bet.<br>
<br>If these special rules are in effect, the house edge on even-money bets drops to an incredible 1.35%.<br>

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