American Roulette has 0 and 00. European Roulette has only single 0. The payouts are the same in both.
What it means in simple terms is that American Roulette gives you one extra way to lose, but still pays the same if you win. The house edge in American is 5.26%; in European it is 2.63%.
Thus, American Roulette is twice as bad as European.
It’s the same whether it’s a live wheel or on-line, assuming on-line is truly random.

European is almost 2 times better then American in terms of odds but the European roulette game with ‘en prison’ rule, also called French roulette, is even better for the player.
If you make an even-money outside bet on French roulette and the ball lands on 0 you either lose half the bet or your bet is “imprisoned” and you have to let it ride on the next spin. The casino edge on this bet is cut in half to 1.35% which makes it one of the best bets in the casino. The average house edge for a roulette with en prison rule is 2.63%

No casino offers a choice of roulette. It is either one or the other. Everyone would obviously play European roulette.

Casinos frequently offer choices of blackjack games. In general, the fewer decks the better IF ALL OTHER RULES ARE THE SAME. The problem of course is the other rules almost always change. A single deck game where you can “double your bet” after your split played properly has a slight advantage to the player even without counting cards, So you’ll never see that game in most professional casinos (although some really out of the way places in Vegas used to play the game).
