Reviewed By SofiaThe Double Zero Tax
European Roulette has a house edge of 2.7%. American Roulette, due to the 00, jumps to 5.26%. Over $10,000 wagered, you are paying an extra $256 for the same experience.
Edge_Diff = 5.26% - 2.70% = 2.56%
Never play the American wheel if a European variant is available in the audit list.
