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.

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

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

Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.
Lowering the Edge Even Further
The "La Partage" rule dictates that if the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your even-money bet.

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