<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in casino history.<br>
<br>Choosing the wrong version of roulette is the most common and costly mistake new players make.<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>This single extra pocket on the American wheel drastically alters the mathematical probabilities of the game.<br>
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
<br>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.<br>
<br>Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.<br>
The En Prison and La Partage Rules
<br>The "En Prison" rule "imprisons" your bet for the next spin if the zero hits, giving you a second chance.<br>
<br>If these special rules are in effect, the house edge on even-money bets drops to an incredible 1.35%.<br>
