European roulette is more popular than American roulette, especially in Europe. The European version is much more favorable for the free bingo player than the American version is. The two versions are very similar in both their betting structure and their payout structures. The five bet is not allowed in the European version of the game. The difference due to the lack of a double zero position changes the house advantage to 2.7% from the 5.26 of the American version.  Each number has a probability of one in thirty seven of winning, instead of the one in thirty eight in American roulette. This is why the European version is more favorable to the player and why the bingo game is more popular on the continent than it is in America.

Most of the payouts are the same in the two casino games. If the player makes a straight up bet, which a bet on a specific number, the pay is off is thirty-five to one. This is the highest payout on the table. A split bet still pays seventeen to one. The street bet, if it wins, pays at eleven to one. A winning corner bet pays eight to one. The line bet will pay five to one if it wins. The column and dozens bets both pay two to one if they win. The rest of the bets on the table are even money bets. These are the high/low, even/odd and red/black bets. The games are very similar to one another.
