<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in [casino](https://payctro.com/read-blog/325_ypey8yno-paixnidi-responsible-gaming-symboyles-gia-diaxeirish-xrhmatwn-bankroll.html) 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>A European roulette wheel features 37 pockets in total: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0).<br>
<br>While the payouts remain exactly the same, your odds of hitting a specific number decrease on the American wheel.<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>Statistically, for every $100 you wager, you expect to lose $2.70 on European and $5.26 on American.<br>
Special European Roulette Rules
<br>The "La Partage" rule dictates that if the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your even-money bet.<br>
<br>If these special rules are in effect, the house edge on even-money bets drops to an incredible 1.35%.<br>
