While American Roulette offers up some great entertainment, you are better off playing the European or French variations of the game. This is because of the house’s edge. The addition of the double ‘Green 00’ means that American roulette has a 5.26% house edge, which is double that of the 2.70% house edge that the other two versions have. That means you have a better chance of long-term success by playing European or French rules roulette games.
