Toddlers study depth perception and casino roulette contrast
Researchers led by Eleanor Gibson tested 6 to 14 month olds on a visual cliff to see if fear of danger appears. Most infants refused the drop, suggesting depth perception. European roulette offers better odds than American, economists note, due to wheel differences.

Roulette odds differ between European and American tables
European roulette offers about 48.6 percent chance to win a 2.00 payout on a 1.00 red or black bet with a 97.3 cent expected return, while U S players see 47.4 percent to win 2.00 with a 94.7 cent return. The extra three cents per dollar lost accumulates. European casinos rely more on roulette revenue than American casinos, which earn from blackjack and similar games.
