roulette grand jeu

It doesn't matter how you bet. The payoff odds on an American roulette wheel are 35 to 1, as though there are only 36 slots and there is a 1 chance in 36 of hitting your number. But, there are actually 38 slots on the wheel, 1 thru 36, plus 0 and 00.

In a standard game of roulette, there are 38 numbered pockets on the wheel: 1 through 36, plus a 0 and a 00. The odds of hitting any particular number, including 0 or 00, are 1 in 38, or approximately 2.63%. This means that, on average, a player can expect to hit 0 or 00 once every 38 spins of the wheel.
