The European wheel - also known as the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Roulette is very 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. 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. Thanks to the single zero the European roulette players have better odds than the American roulette players.

The world 'roulette' means 'a small wheel' in French. It was Blaise Pascal who introduced the primitive version of this game in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. Later Francois and his son Camille were responsible for bringing the game of Roulette back to southern France for the Prince of Monaco, Charles III. In the 1800s the game of Roulette was introduced to the US public. The improvements were deleted, and a double "00" returned. The game became popular in the old west of America. When an experienced dealer spins the Roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed it is called the dealer signature. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor. If you want to overcome the casino’s advantage then the biased wheel is your chance. Before playing the game you have to buy in special colored chips, and after the game exchange them for regular casino chips. When choosing a bet, try to avoid 5 number bets as the payback with these bets is much lower. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. If you have a choice play the European Roulette as the odds are more in your favor. Don’t forget about the Surrender option, which is available in European Roulette. And always try to manage your money.
