European roulette has a single zero, giving a 2.7% house edge. American roulette adds a double zero and pushes it to 5.26% — always choose European.
Inside vs outside bets
Inside bets like straight numbers pay 35:1 but hit rarely. Outside bets like red/black or odd/even pay 1:1 and hit nearly half the time — great for longer sessions.
Tips
No betting system beats the wheel. Set a loss limit, enjoy the game, and look for 'La Partage' rules that return half your even-money bet on zero.
Pros
- Low 2.7% house edge
- Simple to play
- Huge bet variety

- Pure luck — no skill edge
- Systems like Martingale are risky
