Single Zero Roulette

How Single Zero Roulette Improves Your Odds

Often known as European Roulette, single zero roulette is a player favorite for one simple reason: it offers better odds and a lower house edge than its American counterpart [1, 5, 2]. By removing the extra “00” pocket, this version significantly improves your chances of a payout on every spin.

The main distinction of single zero roulette is the wheel itself. While American roulette features 38 total pockets (numbers 1-36, plus a green 0 and 00), the single zero wheel has only 37 pockets (numbers 1-36, plus a single green 0) [1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3].

This difference is crucial because the payouts for winning bets remain the same (e.g., 35 to 1 for a single number bet), meaning your actual probability of winning is higher with the single zero wheel [1, 2, 3].
