+

+The green zeros represent the house edgeAmerican roulette includes the 0 and the 00European roulette only utilizes the single 0 +Why the House Edge Matters +
With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other [casino](https://eujobss.com/employer/slotspalace-ellada-1/) games.
+
Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.
+The En Prison and La Partage Rules +
The "En Prison" rule "imprisons" your bet for the next spin if the zero hits, giving you a second chance.
+
If these special rules are in effect, the house edge on even-money bets drops to an incredible 1.35%.
