<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in [casino](https://git.adambissen.me/toneyslate817) history.<br>
<br>European and American roulette may look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the math differs wildly.<br>
The Difference is in the Zeros
<br>The American wheel, however, has 38 pockets: numbers 1 through 36, a single zero (0), and a double zero (00).<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
The Mathematics of the Two Wheels
<br>Because the European wheel has only one zero, the house edge is a very reasonable 2.70%.<br>
<br>This means you will lose money almost twice as fast playing the American version over the long term.<br>
The En Prison and La Partage Rules
<br>Some European, and particularly French, roulette tables offer player-friendly rules called "La Partage" or "En Prison."<br>
<br>American roulette essentially never offers these rules, further cementing its status as the inferior option.<br>
