Rules of European Roulette

The roulette game has been being played for centuries. Its iconic wheel was designed to only contain 31 numbers, although now it usually has 37 (in Europe) or 38 (in the United States) meaning that the possibilities of success vary depending on the variant played.

In European roulette, the wheel has 37 squares numbered from zero to 36. This means that players have a better chance of success on other roulette tables, like the American one, which has more squares.

The two parts of the table where the bets are situated are on the inside and outside section. Each one offers different ways to bet.

The inside section offers bets on individual numbers, that are next to the other in the cloth, in groups of up to six numbers.

The outside section contains pairs of red or black bets, low or high and odd or even (each type of bet covers 18 numbers). Six different bets can also be made, for 12 numbers each, three of which receive the name “column” and the other three “dozens”

There are also groups of bets between 7 to 17 numbers situated on different sections of the roulette.

Game and rules

Using the inside and outside bets, any combination of numbers or single number can be bet on. Each outside bet must be at least the amount stipulated as the table minimum and this rule also applies to the total bet with the inside bets. It is also necessary to remember that each is independent of each other when reaching the table minimum.

In winning bets, the amount initially bet will be returned to you, and the prize will increase depending on the amount bet. Losing bets will be lost.
