There are two different roulette table layouts. There is the European version and the American version. Both of these roulette table layouts are fairly close to each other in the terms of form and function, but there are fundamental differences between them. Since there has been some confusion as of late about these two different roulette table layouts, I have decided to break them down for you so that you can get a better understanding of them.

Taking a quick look at both of these roulette table layouts, most players won’t notice a whole lot of differences between them at first.

But the devil is in the details and a closer inspection of both layouts will yield some of the most obvious difference. What most people notice first is the wheel itself. The European wheel has a single zero, but the American wheel has both a single zero and a double zero. This might seem like an arbitrary difference, but it has a great effect on the odds between these two roulette table layouts. The subtraction of the double zero from the European table gives it a significantly lower house advantage. The house advantage on the European table is just a tad over two percent, while the house advantage for the American version is well over five percent. This makes the European roulette table layout the best game to play, if you are just looking for a table with the best odds of winning.

But this isn’t the only difference between the two wheels. The European roulette layout has a wheel that has a more symmetrical look to it and the American one has one that is way more practical. The numbers on the European wheel are arranged in pairs, with each pair of numbers opposite each other. Here are the sequence of the numbers on a European table: {0,32,15,19,4,21,2,25,17,34,6,27,13,36,11,30,8,23,10,5,24,16,33,1,20,14,31,9,22,18,29,7,28,12,35,3,26}. Now contrast this with the American layout. The American wheel is set up so that the first and the last eighteen numbers alternate with each other and the combinations of even/odd and black/red are close to each other. Here are the sequence of the numbers on an American table: {0,28,9,26,30,11,7,20,32,17,5,22,34,15,3,24,36,13,1,00,27,10,25,29,12,8,19,31,18,6,21,33,16,4,23,35,14,2}.

Another difference is the two roulette table layouts is the physical size of the tables. The American table is not as wide as the European table and the side bet positions are arranged differently. The European table has the side bets, otherwise known as the outside bets, split in half and running along both ends of the table. The American table isn’t. Usually the outside bets on the European table are marked in French, with an English translation underneath it, but this isn’t always the case. It also should be pointed out that there are quite a few variations among these two roulette table layouts. There are French versions, African versions, British versions and even some Canadian versions. The table version is usuall dictated by the geographical region that the table is located.

There is one last thing that needs to be mentioned. On the two main roulette table layouts there is usually some differences concerning the chips. At American tables players usual get different colored chips to help them differentiate between what chips belong to them and what chips belong to other people. This help keeps the game-play very civil. On European tables the players all get the same color chips. The players are then responsible for keeping remembering whose chips belong to whom. To my amazement this usually works very well and I have never seen any complications arise from it.

Lately, there has been a lot of confusion about the different roulette layouts. That is because there are two popular versions of the game; the European version and the American version. The roulette layout of both of these versions are similar in many ways, but also can have some key differences. To help you differentiate between these two versions, I have decided to give you a breakdown of their individual layouts and the way they differ in game play.

If you just took a casual look at both versions of roulette, then you probably wouldn’t notice the difference. But if you took a second and gave them a good hard look then the differences would be quite obvious.

The first thing that you would probably notice is that the American roulette wheel contains a zero and a double zero. This differs from the European version, which contains only a single zero. This difference between the two might seem like it’s merely cosmetic, but it’s not. It also has a drastic affect on the house advantage. The extra zero on the American table gives the house an advantage of about 5.73%. By contrast, the European table only has a house advantage of 2.25%. That is a pretty big difference if you ask me. And is probably why European roulette is a lot more popular then American roulette.

The other differences that you may notice between these two roulette layouts is the table. The European roulette layout is wider then the American roulette layout. Another big difference is the position of the outside bets on the European table. The outside bets (also called side bets) are split in two parts and run along both sides of the table. Each of the outside bets has its name in French. Sometimes the English translation of the bet is placed under the French name, but it is not standardized and isn’t always there.

The different roulette layouts are also usually played in different ways. One of the most noticeable differences that can be spotted on each of the individual tables are the chips. On European tables the chips are usually all the same color. Each player is responsible for remembering what chips belong to them and this can cause a great deal of confusion for foreign visitors to European casinos. On American tables the chips are different colors for each player. This makes it a whole lot easier to remember whose chips belong to whom. It also should be noted that the chips on American tables can’t be taken to the cage and cashed in. They first have to be exchanged for cash chips and these chips are the ones that can be cashed out.

Now that we have covered the two main roulette layouts, it is now time to talk about some of the variations that can be found. Yes, to confuse matters even more, there are a number of different variations of the American and European roulette versions. Well, they aren’t actually variations but are called different things in different countries. Let me give you an example. Often times a player will find an American roulette table in France. These tables aren’t referred to as American roulette tables, but are usually referred to as Fair Roulette. French roulette tables are basically European tables, but the main difference is that they have stick-men to handle the chips. And to further confuse things, sometimes American tables are called English Roulette if it is situated in the United Kingdom. This concludes my essay on the various roulette layouts. Hopefully I have shed some light on some of the differences between the two major layouts and all the variations thereof.

Most roulette players who have been playing for any length of time know that there are two different varieties of roulette tables. The most popular table is the European table which is played all over Australia, Asia and Europe. The least popular of the roulette tables is the American table. In fact, most of the American roulette tables can be found mainly in the United States. The American table is seen to a lesser extent in Europe, but it is often called English roulette in the United Kingdom, or Fair Roulette in France. While both tables are pretty similar to each other, there are a key main differences between them. Let’s get into the nuts and bolts of these two roulette tables.

The American roulette table has a wheel that contain thirty-six numbers with a single zero and a double zero. The numbers are lined up in an interesting fashion, as well. If you look closely you will notice that the colors alternate between black and red. But they also alternate two even numbers with two odd numbers. If you look really closely at the wheel, all black numbers sit opposite of the red numbers. Also on this roulette table, the two zeros are both colored green.

The European table is arranged slightly different. This roulette table has a wheel that contains thirty-six numbers plus a single zero. The colors on the wheel alternate between red and black, like on the American table, but there are also a number of differences. The numbers along the arc, just to the right of the zero, have nine large red numbers and nine small black numbers. Just to the left of the zero are nine smaller red numbers and nine big black numbers.

Another big difference on the two roulette tables are the chips. At American roulette tables the chips are all a different color. This is so that the players can easily differentiate between their chips and other players chips. At European roulette tables the chips are all the same color. This requires the players to use their memories more then players on American tables.

The most significant different between these two roulette tables has to be the odds, however. Statistically, European tables have better odds then American tables do. This is because of the addition of that extra little zero on the American table. That extra zero might not seem like it, but it really is a game changer. Thanks to its presence, the house advantage on the American roulette table is almost six percent. Now contrast that with the European roulette table, which has a house advantage of just over two percent. It’s surprising how the addition of one little number changes your odds so dramatically. But it does.

And European roulette tables have another advantage over the American ones. They often use two rules which can cut the already low house advantage in half. These rules are called En Prison and La Partage. En Prison is a rule that allows a player to let his bet ride if a zero result is achieved. It is almost like a free pass. If on the next spin he loses, then he loses his bet. La Partage is much the same as En Prison, but instead of the whole bet riding to the next spin, only half of it does. Either way, the player gets an advantage that he wouldn’t ordinarily have on American tables.

Now that the different roulette tables have been explained in depth, the choice of which you prefer is left to you. If you want better odds, then you should choose a European table. But if you like excitement of the American tables, then that’s all right too.

Of all the casino games, roulette is one of the least popular, at least in American casinos. In the United States, the roulette table doesn’t draw as much as a crowd as craps, blackjack, poker or even slot machines. Things have improved over the last few years for the popularity of the game, especially with the invention of more and more online casinos, but it still isn’t the most popular. In Europe, however, it is very popular. In fact, if you head to any roulette table in Europe you will probably have to fight a massive crowd to get to it. Roulette is often one of the prime mainstays of European casinos and Monte Carlo resorts.

There are also essential differences between a European and an American roulette table. Besides having a slightly different betting layout, what most people will notice about the two roulette tables is the wheel. On the American wheel, there is an additional number, the double-zero. European wheels have thirty-six numbers plus a single zero, and American wheels have thirty-six numbers plus a zero and a double-zero.

This slight difference between the American and the European roulette table makes the European roulette table the one that one should play. The American version has a house advantage of 5.26 %. The European roulette table has a house advantage of only 2.7%. And this low house advantage on European roulette tables is cut down to an even lower 1.4% under the En Prison rule. At this percentage rate, the game has pretty much the same odds as any other game of chance. No wonder that it is doing so well in European and online casinos, while the American version isn’t doing as well.

But the European roulette table is starting to make an appearance in the US. I have seen it in a few casinos, usually in the high-roller rooms. These rooms require large minimum bets and are usually for the type of players known as “whales.” But if you plan on betting like a high-roller in these American casinos, then be sure to seek out a French table.

Even if roulette is not the preferred game of a particular player, most of the time they will take a seat at the roulette table. This is usually due to curiosity or because the game has a very laid back, relaxing feel to it. Let’s compare the speed of roulette to more popular games. Craps has about one hundred rolls per hour and blackjack has about sixty hands per hour. Now contrast those numbers with the roulette table. Roulette only has about forty-five spins in any given hour, so you can see why it attracts players looking to catch their breath between games.

Now, before I conclude this article, I want to take a moment and talk about the roulette table itself. The game of roulette is played at a long table that has a wheel at one end. At the end that contains the wheel is a cut-out where the dealer stands. At the other end of the roulette table is a felt layout that contains a number of boxes that contain numbers. These are for the “inside bets.” On the outside of these boxes are a number of other boxes that players use to place their “outside bets.”
