European or American roulette?
Twelve licensed operators for roulette readers, scored by the published method, and the single-zero question answered with numbers. Check the wheel type in each lobby. 18+.
The four questions readers ask most, answered in a sentence or two. Checked September 2026.
European roulette has one zero and a 2.7% house edge; American roulette adds a double zero for 5.26%. French tables with la partage halve the edge on even-money bets to 1.35%.
Same payouts, one more losing pocket: a straight-up bet pays 35 to 1 on both, but wins 1 in 37 on a European wheel and 1 in 38 on an American one.
The single-zero European wheel, and among European tables those with la partage or en prison on even-money bets.
Because the second zero on an American wheel nearly doubles the house edge while paying the same odds. Nearly every UK lobby offers single-zero tables.
Ranked by the published method below. Prefer single-zero tables; wheel type and limits are shown in the table info.
