As mentioned, the house edge and odds for European Roulette are better for the player, compared to American Roulette. The house edge is a lot lower at 2.7%, and the odds of winning by betting on specific numbers is 1 in 37.
The presence of the additional double zero (00) in American roulette significantly increases the house edge, making it more favorable for the casino. This means that players on average will lose a larger percentage of their bets over time compared to European roulette.
