European Roulette
Why Play European Roulette - there has to be a reason right? Of course there is...the
odds are far better in your favour playing single zero
European Roulette than other forms of roulette. Let's
take a look...
European Roulette has a layout consisting of 37 numbers in total (0-36) and for a £1 bet Straight Up on a winning number, the return will be £36 (35/1). The house edge is 2.7%.
American Roulette has a layout consisting of 38 numbers in total (0-36 plus 00) and yet for a £1 Straight Up bet on a winning number, your return will still be £36 (35/1). The house edge is 5.26% - almost DOUBLE that of European Roulette!
Also be aware of other forms of roulette that are currently on offer with less numbers on the layout. One I've seen has nine numbers (0-8) and for a £1 Straight Up bet, you will receive only £8 (7/1). When you do the maths, you are nearly FOUR TIMES worse off playing these games as opposed to European Roulette as the house edge comes in at a huge 11.1%!
That's why we love European Roulette so much - we have a much better chance of winning money!
Don't worry, although single zero roulette is commonly referred to as European Roulette, it's available to players all over the world. Equally, although double zero roulette is commonly referred to as American Roulette, this and other games like it are also available to players everywhere. So a word of caution: always be selective in not only the places you play roulette, but also the types of roulette you play!
