The Difference Between European and American Roulette

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

European and American roulette may look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the math differs wildly.

The Difference is in the Zeros

A European roulette wheel features 37 pockets in total: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0).

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

  • European wheel has 37 total pockets
  • American wheel has 38 total pockets
  • Both versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet

Comparing the House Edge

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

This means you will lose money almost twice as fast playing the American version over the long term.

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.

Game Wheel Numbers Edge with La Partage
French 37 1.35%
American 38 N/A

Playing American roulette is a mathematical mistake that unnecessarily drains your bankroll twice as fast.
