The Difference Between European and American Roulette

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

European and American roulette may look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the math differs wildly.

The Difference is in the Zeros

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

This single extra pocket on the American wheel drastically alters the mathematical probabilities of the game.

  • European wheel has 37 total pockets
  • American wheel has 38 total pockets
  • Both versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet

The Mathematics of the Two Wheels

With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other casino games.

This means you will lose money almost twice as fast playing the American version over the long term.

Special European Roulette Rules

Some European, and particularly French, roulette tables offer player-friendly rules called “La Partage” or “En Prison.”

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

Version Zero Pockets House Edge
European One (0) 2.70%
American Two (0, 00) 5.26%

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