Table 04 Roulette

The extra zero is the whole story.

Every roulette bet pays as if the zeros weren't there. That's the entire house edge, so the number of zeros on the wheel matters far more than which bet you choose.

Single zero · European2.70%37 pockets. With "la partage" (half back on even-money bets when zero hits) it's 1.35% on those bets.
Double zero · American5.26%38 pockets. The five-number "top line" (0-00-1-2-3) is worse still: 7.89%.
Triple zero · 0 / 00 / 0007.69%39 pockets. Now common on the Las Vegas Strip, often at the lowest table minimums.
