<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in [casino](https://gitlab.innive.com/bartlaing66870/bart1992/-/issues/2) 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>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's built-in mathematical advantage over the player.<br>
European wheel has 37 total pocketsAmerican wheel has 38 total pocketsBoth versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet
Comparing the House Edge
<br>Conversely, the American wheel's extra double zero pushes the house edge up to a massive 5.26%.<br>
<br>There is absolutely no mathematical justification for ever choosing to play American roulette if European is available.<br>
Special European Roulette Rules
<br>Some European, and particularly French, roulette tables offer player-friendly rules called "La Partage" or "En Prison."<br>
<br>This makes French roulette one of the most mathematically favorable table games on the entire casino floor.<br>

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