The American Roulette wheel might be the one that most casino players are familiar with, but this doesn't mean that it's the only Roulette wheel in existence. Many casinos offer both American and European Roulette wheels. One difference between the two is that the numbers on the American Roulette wheel are placed opposite one another, where as the numbers on the European Roulette Wheel appear in a random sequence. Where the Roulette wheels differ mainly however is in their total number of slots for the Roulette ball to fall in. The American Roulette wheel has a zero, as well as a double zero. The European Roulette Wheel has a zero, but no double zero. Considering this difference, the odds of victory are greatly affected over time.
The casino advantage on a single number bet in American Roulette is 5.26% (2 out of 38), as opposed to half that (2.70% or 1/37 in European Roulette). Despite this fact, the American Roulette wheel remains wildly popular, as it offers a very clean layout, and a much more organized arrangement of betting boxes than its European counterpart.
