<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in [casino](https://xn--u5bc6c9a5bo7bxc.com/read-blog/20657_odhgos-gia-video-poker-kanones-kai-strathgikh-jacks-or-better.html) 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>A European roulette wheel features 37 pockets in total: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0).<br>
<br>While the payouts remain exactly the same, your odds of hitting a specific number decrease on the American wheel.<br>
European wheel has 37 total pocketsAmerican wheel has 38 total pocketsBoth versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet
The Mathematics of the Two Wheels
<br>With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other casino games.<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>Playing American roulette is a mathematical mistake that unnecessarily drains your bankroll twice as fast.<br>
