The roulette wheel used in US casinos features 38 numbered slots, which is different from the European version that has only 37 slots. This additional slot is the double zero (00), making American roulette slightly different in terms of odds and house edge.
The 38 slots consist of numbers 1 through 36, plus 0 and 00. The numbers are arranged in a specific pattern around the wheel, with red and black alternating, and the zeros typically colored green.
This configuration affects the probability calculations for various bets. For instance, the house edge in American roulette is approximately 5.26%, while in European roulette it\“s about 2.70% due to the extra double zero slot. |
