European Roulette

European roulette exudes a prestigious allure, so much so, that the affluent risk all amid its stylish glamour. Like all other versions of roulette, the goal is the same: predict where the ball will fall after each spin. However, European roulette holds a certain mystery compared to other variations, making it the first choice among players.

The advantages of European roulette

The European roulette wheel is very similar its American counterpart, except for a few differences. But it's in these slight changes that a wealth of opportunity exists, for you. Unlike the American wheel that comprises a single zero and double zero, the European version only has a single zero. This minor omission has a significant impact on the overall odds of the game.

On the American wheel with 38 numbers, the house edge on a single number bet is 2:38. Whereas, the house edge on the European wheel is 1:37. It's important to note that whenever there's a big shift in odds, you should always opt for European roulette.

Furthermore, European roulette supports the En Prison rule. Instead of losing your chips when the ball settles on zero, your bet is 'imprisoned' during the next spin. If your next bet wins, you get your original bet back. If you lose, sorry, there's no compensation. The En Prison rule lowers the house advantage to 1.35 percent.
