<br>Roulette is universally recognized as one of the most iconic and popular games in [casino](https://git.newnaturalphilosophy.org/elmothigpen547) history.<br>
<br>European and American roulette may look nearly identical to the untrained eye, but the math differs wildly.<br>
The Difference is in the Zeros
<br>The single most important difference between the two games lies entirely in the number of green zero pockets.<br>
<br>The addition of the 00 pocket effectively doubles the casino's built-in mathematical advantage over the player.<br>
The extra number changes all probability calculationsThe betting layout is slightly larger on the American tableEuropean tables often use a different chip system
The Mathematics of the Two Wheels
<br>With a house edge of 2.70%, European roulette is relatively fair compared to many other casino games.<br>
<br>There is absolutely no mathematical justification for ever choosing to play American roulette if European is available.<br>
Lowering the Edge Even Further
<br>The "En Prison" rule "imprisons" your bet for the next spin if the zero hits, giving you a second chance.<br>
<br>This makes French roulette one of the most mathematically favorable table games on the entire casino floor.<br>
