Modifications in the design and mechanics of the game gave birth to two popular versions of roulette namely American roulette and the European roulette with following differences:

· The European Roulette Wheel, featuring one "single zero" space and no "double zero", changes the house edge so that it is in favor of the roulette player. Alternatively, the American Roulette wheel's odds favor the house and features 38 slots instead of 37 as in European roulette. Adding a single "double zero" slot on the wheel makes a big difference and changes the course of play completely.

· The two versions of roulette also differ in the distribution of chips used by players in placing bets in the game. European roulette have the same color of chips used in betting, while the American roulette have distinct colors of chips used in the game. That is, each player gets his own colors

· Casinos using the European roulette have a 2.7% house edge & American roulette holds 5.3% house edge. This fact causes many roulette players to play the European roulette than the American roulette. Players tend to gamble when the favor is on their side and with European roulette, you get an increase of odds in your favor.

· Further visible difference is in the placement of the wheels. When the European roulette wheel is placed in the middle, the American roulette wheel is placed at the far end of the table.

· There is also difference in the collection of losing bets. Arms and hands are used to sweep the chips off the table in American roulette. But in European roulette, a long stick known as rake is used to collect the chips.

But whether the European roulette has a greater house edge and odds of winning, the American roulette offers a greater intensity of excitement and thrill. Player’s practice & master different strategies with chances of winning in the game. Having a good time at the casino depends less on the number of "zero" spaces on the board and more on the number of drinks and beautiful women around your arms.
