There is also the European wheel or the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Rouletteis similar to the American wheel.
The fact that European wheel only has a single zero - whereas American wheel has a single zero and a double zero, makes the biggest difference between these two.
As 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 on the american table it is more practical during the game, but the European table is more more beautiful in symmetry.
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. After the players make their bets the dealer spins the wheel and a ball and after several seconds the ball will land in one of the numbered slots.

Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had saved $220,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum table bet on red/black bet in Horseshoe Club was $100,000, but they met him halfway and let him make this bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris placed all his money on red. To make sure that everything is fair Chris was allowed to have several practice spins before playing for real money. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris was the winner, he won $220,000 and he promised never to play at casino again. |
