European roulette, benefiting from its lack of a double zero pocket, generally boasts a lower house edge compared to American roulette. This lower house edge provides players with slightly improved odds of long-term success.
What are the odds in roulette? The roulette odds of winning a round depend on the number of outcomes covered in the bet. If you bet on only one number, you are facing 1-in-37 odds in European roulette and 1-in-38 odds for the American version. In both cases however, the roulette payout for straight bets is 35:1.
