If you login to any of the websites related to the casino games and try to play the roulette games, you will find that there will be two different types of tables, one will be the European roulette table and the other will the American table. While playing you will understand there are a lot of points on which these two types of roulette games can be differentiated. You would also like to find out that playing with which table would be more advantageous. The amount of excitement and fun is the same in both types, however, you will always choose the one which will give you the maximum amount of profits.
The most noticeable difference between these two types of roulette game is in the type of the wheels used for playing. You will find out that in European Roulette there is only one green slot which is labeled with the number 0. On the other hand, in American Roulette there are two different green slots. One of them will be marked with the number 0 and the other green slot will be labeled with a double zero (00). On counting the slots of both the wheels, you will see that there are a total of 38 slots whereas in the European Roulette there are only 37 slots.
There is a difference in the size of the tables as well. In European Roulette, the size of the table is larger as compared to the size of the roulette table used in the American Roulette. In European Roulette, the croupier uses a rake to distribute and clear the chips, however in American Roulette, the table is easily reachable and the croupier distributes the winning by hand only.
Also, the house edge in the American Roulette is 5.3% which means that the casino makes a profit of 5.3% from all the players. On the other hand, the house edge is only 2.7 % in case of the European Roulette. That means in the American Roulette, the chance of losing is more as compared to the European Roulette. From a player's point of view, it is always more beneficial to play the European Roulette. Because of this reason, in the online casinos, you will find most of the players playing the European Roulette since the profit are always more. In the land based casinos also, preference is given to the European Roulette and you will find the tables are designed according to the European Roulette.
