The French Wheel
The American Wheel
There are differences in the two wheels. One major difference is the 0 and 00 numbers on the American wheel. Because the payout is the same for the various bets, with 38 numbers the American wheel has almost twice the Casino advantage of the French wheel. The French wheel has only a single 0, 37 total numbers and a Casino advantage of 2.7%. The Casino advantage for the American wheel is 5.26%.
A second difference is the number sequence. They are totally different. The differences make the American wheel a bit easier to cover large sections of the wheel with fewer chips. For more information on sections strategy go to Section Strategy.
