| European roulette is a bit different then the American version: there is only one zero, giving the house an advantage of 2.7 %.
The croupier is turning a round roulette wheel which has 37 or 38 separately numbered pockets. In these pockets must the ball land. The main pockets are numbered from 1 to 36 and are colored red and black, with number 1 being red. European roulette uses standard casino chips of differing values as bets, which can make the game slightly confusing for a novice player.
A traditional European roulette table is also much larger than an American roulette table. And the differences just keep coming. The croupier uses a long tool called a "rake" to clear out the chips and to distribute winnings towards the customers.
