Take Advantage of a Lower Casinos Edge When Playing Online Roulette

Considering the addition of the 00 (double zero) on an American Roulette table increases the House Edge from 2.7%, which is had with the European version, to 5.25%, it only makes sense to play the European version. Then why would anyone ever play American Roulette? The answer, simply, is Las Vegas, as well as the nature of roulette itself.

Contrary to what some people believe, the "American" version of roulette is actually the original European version brought to America from Europe. Not until 1840, when a gambling entrepreneur opened a small casino in Germany, and took away the double zero as a means of luring more bettors, was European Roulette formed. This is partly why roulette is so much more popular in Europe than it is in America.

Another reason why European roulette is not as popular in America is because the game of roulette, in general, is not a type of game suited to the predominate American betting style. In other words, it's too slow of a game. Las Vegas casinos, the majority of which only offer American roulette, have actually offered European roulette in the past. One casino even put a European and American table side by side. After realizing both tables received the same amount of activity, casinos understandably removed the European version since they knew they would make more money from the American table.

On the internet, there simply is no excuse for players to gamble at an American table. The only reason it exists in virtual form in the first place is because some players do not know any better. Some people unfortunately believe that covering the 0 and 00 via several straight bets and the disadvantageous five-number bet will actually help them, while others just assume that since they are American, the American version is best suited for them.
