If the roulette wheel is a fair wheel, the odds on any given spin of the wheel is unaffected by any previous spins of the wheel. So no matter how many times the wheel has consecutively come up red, the next spin can still come up red, black, or green based upon the number of each color is present on the wheel. The difference between the odds for Europe vs America has to do with a quirk about roulette. In Europe, the roulette wheel has 37 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 1 green. In America, the roulette wheel has 38 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green.
Although in this case, I'd be wary about assuming that the wheel isn't rigged. The odds of 270 consecutive red on a fair wheel is only 1 in 3.09663x10^84 in Europe, or 1 in 4.14949x10^87 in America.</span>
