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

Choosing the wrong version of roulette is the most common and costly mistake new players make.
+The Extra Green Zero +
The single most important difference between the two games lies entirely in the number of green zero pockets.
+
The addition of the 00 pocket effectively doubles the casino's built-in mathematical advantage over the player.
+European wheel has 37 total pocketsAmerican wheel has 38 total pocketsBoth versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet +Why the House Edge Matters +
With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other [casino](https://www.youmanitarian.com/tv/@gregdwight7210?page=about) games.
+
Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.
+Special European Roulette Rules +
The "La Partage" rule dictates that if the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your even-money bet.
+
American roulette essentially never offers these rules, further cementing its status as the inferior option.
