Scouty Says

“Not all roulette wheels are the same… and choosing the wrong one can literally double the casino’s profit.”

Let’s break one of the biggest misconceptions in casino games 👇

🎯 The Big Question

👉 Which roulette is better?

• 🇪🇺 European (1 zero)
• 🇺🇸 American (2 zeros)

Most players think:

👉 “European is original → American is modified”

❌ That’s WRONG

And Scouty will show you why.

🏛️ The Origins of Roulette

Modern roulette was first described in:

👉 Early 19th century Paris

At that time:

👉 The original wheel actually had TWO zeros

Yes… what we now call American roulette came first.

💡 The Genius Who Changed the Game

Enter the legend:

👉 François Blanc

He made one bold decision:

👉 Removed one zero

Why?

• Lower house edge
• Attract high-value players
• Increase volume instead of margin

Result?

👉 His casino became a magnet for:

• Aristocrats
• High rollers
• Elite gamblers

Scouty insight:

“Less greed = more players = bigger long-term profit.”

📊 The Real Difference (IMPORTANT)

Let’s break it down simply:

🇪🇺 European Roulette

• Numbers: 37 (0–36)
• RTP: 97.3%
• House edge: 2.7%

🇺🇸 American Roulette

• Numbers: 38 (0 + 00)
• RTP: 94.7%
• House edge: 5.26%

👉 That means:

💥 The casino earns almost DOUBLE on American roulette

Scouty:

“Same game, same payouts… but worse odds. That’s the trap.”

🧠 Why American Roulette Exists

The double-zero version spread through:

👉 Louisiana → Mississippi → Wild West

It was:

• Popular with cowboys 🤠
• Used in riverboat casinos 🚢
• Often manipulated with cheating devices

👉 More zeros = more profit

Simple business.

🎨 Bonus: Why Chips Have Different Colors

One innovation from American roulette:

👉 Different colored chips

Why?

• Identify players easily
• Same value, different color
• Faster gameplay

Today:

👉 This is standard in every casino worldwide

🚨 The Worst Version (Avoid This)

Some casinos tried adding:

👉 Triple Zero (000) roulette

Stats:

• RTP: 92.3%
• House edge: 7.7%

Scouty warning 🚨:

“If you see triple-zero roulette… run.”

🎯 Which Roulette Should You Play?

👉 ALWAYS choose:

✔ European Roulette
✔ French Roulette (even better with La Partage)

👉 NEVER choose:

❌ American Roulette (if you have a choice)
❌ Triple Zero Roulette

💰 Why This Matters for Players

Let’s say you play long enough:

• European → lose slower
• American → lose faster

👉 Same budget
👉 More playtime
👉 Better experience

Scouty:

“Smart players don’t try to beat the casino… they choose where they lose less.”

Summary

European roulette offers better odds than American roulette due to having only one zero instead of two. This reduces the house edge from 5.26% to 2.7%, making European roulette the preferred choice for players. The single-zero version was introduced by François Blanc to attract more players and increase long-term profits.

🦝 Scouty Final Tip

👉 If you remember only ONE thing:

Always check the wheel before you play.

Because:

👉 One extra zero = twice the cost
