You should try and avoid playing American Roulette as it offers the worst overall payout percentages of any Roulette game. This is due to it having a Double Zero in addition to the single zero.
As it has two zeros but still pays the same odds as the European version of Roulette the payout percentage for this game is 5.26%, the five number bet listed above is even worse as that bet has a house edge of
7.89%
