The European wheel - also known as the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Roulette is very similar to the American wheel.
The European wheel has only a single zero while the American one has a single zero and a double zero, and that is main difference between them.
The European table is more beautiful in symmetry while the American table is more practical during play because the red/black and odd/even are placed right next to each other, and the first18/last18 betting spots are placed right next to the single numbers.
The European single zero offers the player better odds than the American wheel with it’s single and double zero.
There 38 numbered slots on American roulette wheel: numbers from 0 to 36 and 00. The betting layout consists of every individual number as well as a host of "outside" or combinations of numbers.

As a gambler you know that when playing Roulette there is a certain period of time in which you can make bets. Traditionally players are given about 60 seconds in between each spin to make bets. When the dealer spins the wheel, you still have a few seconds to place a bet. As soon as the dealer raises his hand and says “no more bets” players can make no more bets. After the spinning ball lands in one of the pockets, the dealer will put a market on the corresponding number on the table. He then removes all of the losing bets. Then the winning bets are paid off and the dealer removes the market from the Roulette table. Chips can be touched after the spinning ball has stopped. Try to be polite and courteous. Be respectful to other players and to the dealer (even if you lose). You can give the dealer a tip after every 10th spin. Always remember that nobody likes drunk people, so even if you drink you must know your norm.
