Roulette house edges vary between European and American wheels
Roulette gameplay and mathematical house edges vary significantly between European and American formats. A European wheel, which features a single zero, typically maintains a house edge of 2.70%. In contrast, the American wheel includes both a single and a double zero, increasing the house edge to 5.26%.
While the presence of a live dealer or the use of a Random Number Generator (RNG) changes the visual experience, these factors do not alter the fundamental house edge, which is determined by the number of pockets on the wheel and the established payout table. Standard payouts for a single number are generally 35 to 1.
