Two Types of Roulette

Posted By Diego | Roulette-Tricks News | August 17, 2011, 06:13 AM |


Roulette tables have two distinct types: the American Roulette wheel and the European Roulette wheel. The geographic location of where it is widely played is one difference but the main difference between the two is the number of 0's within the wheel. Also, the American Roulette wheel has higher house edge than the European Roulette wheel.



The American wheel has 0 and 00 together with numbers 1 to 36. The European wheel has also numbers from 1 to 36 but has only a 0. Players could bet on any number except zero/s which is automatically designated to the “house” or in many cases, the casino you are playing at.

The differences between the two types also yield different chances and possibilities for both the players and the house. The American wheel with “00” or two zeros gives the house a 5.26 percent of advantage. The European wheel with only one zero gives the house a 2.7 percent as advantage.

This means that these percents are the probability that the house could win, higher percents than what is being offered bu online slot games. Chances are you are slightly able to win in a European roulette than its American counterpart for the sole reason that the latter has higher probability of your bets going to the house.
