French Roulette Terms

French Roulette Terms. Another type of roulette is the European wheel which is also known as the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Roulette and it's resembles the American wheel.
The greatest difference between the European and the American wheel is the fact that European wheel only has a single zero - whereas American wheel has a single zero and a double zero.
As the red/black and odd/even are placed right next to each other, and the first18/last18 betting spots are placed right next to the single numbers on the american table it is more practical during the game, but the European table is more more beautiful in symmetry.
Thanks to the single zero the European roulette players have better odds than the American roulette players.
American roulette wheel consists of 38 numbered slots: numbers 1 to 36, a zero, and a double zero. The betting layout consists of every individual number as well as a host of "outside" or combinations of numbers. After the players make their bets the dealer spins the wheel and a ball and after several seconds the ball will land in one of the numbered slots.
