Differences between European and American roulette tables

New players to online roulette have a lot to learn. Even though the game mostly revolves around luck, there are some key aspects that the player must know about before wagering some of their money. One of the most important things to understand is the difference between European and American roulette wheels.

The main difference is the zeroes. European roulette has a space for a zero and a space for a double zero. This way, the house gives the player an edge, which they do not get with American roulette.

Also, European has the "en prison" rule, which allows players to wager half their outside wagers or save them for the next game. This also puts the favor into the players’ hand over the house.

The same rules apply when playing online roulette. It doesn’t hurt to go over a new site’s rules to ensure that you are all caught up and able to win some money.
