What Is the Difference Between American Roulette Wheel and European?

European roulette is a bit different from the American roulette wheel in that it has zero-zero, rather than 00, as the number on the wheel. Additionally, European roulette is played with a 21-number wheel, while American roulette is played with a 18-number wheel.

The biggest difference between American and European roulette is that American roulette is much more likely to result in a payout. In European roulette, the house edge is about 2.9%, while in American roulette it’s about 1.2%.

That means that for every $100 you bet on American roulette, you’re likely to win $102.90, while on European roulette you’d only win $91.10.
