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 Extra Green Zero +
A European roulette wheel features 37 pockets in total: the numbers 1 through 36, plus a single zero (0).
+
While the payouts remain exactly the same, your odds of hitting a specific number decrease on the American wheel.
+European wheel has 37 total pocketsAmerican wheel has 38 total pocketsBoth versions pay 35 to 1 on a single number bet +Why the House Edge Matters +
With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other [casino](http://ossosu.com/author/jonathonschaef/) 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 "En Prison" rule "imprisons" your bet for the next spin if the zero hits, giving you a second chance.
+
This makes French roulette one of the most mathematically favorable table games on the entire casino floor.

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