Single Zero or European style roulette reduces the house edge to only 2.7%

Roulette Game Odds

Roulette, like Craps, is another independent variable game where Lady Luck decides the winners. An air of French sophistication presides over the table and the possibility of winning up to 35 times your bet creates a strong attraction for many gamblers. The odds in Roulette are very easy to calculate. The wheel is divided into either 37 or 38 slots, depending on whether you are playing the European version (single zero), or the American version which has an extra space in the double zero slot. The zero space(s) represent the house edge. If there were none, it would be an even money game. The house advantage in single zero Roulette is 2.7% and is 5.26% for the double zero game.

How to figure the Odds
You may calculate the actual odds for house advantage in Roulette as follows:

Single Zero wheels

Double Zero wheels

(35 - 36)/37 x 100 = -2.70%

(35 - 37)/38 x 100 = -5.26%

As you can see from the chart, the European single zero game offers the same payouts, but better odds than the American double zero game (because there is one fewer space on the wheel). While it is rare to find the single zero game at a casino in North America, this game is standard among most all online casinos. Online casinos generally offer better odds than those found in land casinos across the board, and this holds true for the game of Roulette.

Bets To Avoid
The bets to avoid in this game are probably all single number bets and the five number bet (only found on double zero wheels) because these types of bets have the largest disparity between true odds and actual payouts.

Solid Bets
If you plan to play Roulette, stick with the bets whose odds almost mirror their payouts. These "even money" bets include betting on Even, Odd, Low (numbers 1 through 18), High (numbers 19 through 36), Red, or Black. All of these wagers pay out at 1 to 1.
