Another type of roulette is the European wheel which is also known as the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Roulette and it's resembles the American wheel. The greatest difference between the European and the American wheel is the fact that European wheel only has a single zero - whereas American wheel has a single zero and a double zero. 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. Thanks to the single zero the European roulette players have better odds than the American roulette players. 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. |
The game of European Roulette is played by spinning a small ball on a round wheel. The wheel has thirty-seven numbered slots. When the wheel stops, the ball stops in one of the slots. The player is to predict the number of the pocket in which the ball will land. The player wins if he has predicted the number right. The winning amount is dependable on the bet and the bet amount.

If you place an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you can either take back your bet or leave it for another spin. If you choose to leave your bet for another spin you put it "in prison" as the jargon is. The 'La Partage' rule can be applied when you make an outside even money bet and the spinning ball stops on the zero. In this case you lose half of your bet and you are not allowed to use it in the next spin.
