Roulette is one of the oldest and most popular
casino style games that are still in wide use today. The main
difference between the European and American Roulette wheel
is the zeros. The American Roulette wheel has a single zero
spot and a double zero spot, while the European Roulette wheel
has only a single zero spot.
The “hollow” of the European Roulette wheel consists
of thirty-seven pockets, each with its own number. The numbers
on the pockets are 0-36. The wheel alternates pairs of odd numbers
with pairs of even numbers. The numbers also alternate between
black and red. The 0 pocket is green.
Wagers in European Roulette are placed on the table in any
of the marked boxes. You will find a variety of different boxes
and winning combinations on the table. This is called the table
layout. You can place wagers on many different areas of the
table layout at the same time. (All possible bets are outlined
below with their corresponding payouts.) |
