Support UkraineIn roulette, the odds of winning depend on the type of bet that you make. However, regardless of the type of bet, the game is designed in such a way that the casino has a slight statistical advantage over the player. This advantage is known as the "house edge."
The house edge in roulette comes from the fact that there are 38 numbers on the wheel (in the American version of the game), including one or two green zeros. When you make a bet on a specific number, your odds of winning are 1 in 38 (or 1 in 37 in the European version), which gives the house a 2.7% edge in European roulette and a 5.26% edge in American roulette. In addition, even-money bets (such as red/black or odd/even) have slightly lower odds of winning due to the presence of the green zeros.
Over time, these small edges add up and result in the player losing money. Even if you win some bets in the short term, the more you play, the more likely it is that the house edge will catch up to you and you'll end up losing money. This is why gambling should always be viewed as entertainment, and players should never bet more than they can afford to lose.
