European Roulette and American Roulette rules. European roulette, also known as single zero roulette, is the original game as it was played in France before moving to the new world. American roulette is the adaptation of the game for North American markets, and plays off of a wheel with both a zero pocket, and a double zero pocket. The addition of a second green 'zero' pocket on American roulette has a direct effect on the house edge for the game. On our mathematics of roulette page we discussed the expectation formula for a number of roulette bets, in the context of an American board. The very same formula can be used for European roulette, and you will find the house edge is also a consistent number across bets, but the number is much more player-friendly. An American roulette wheel has 38 numbers in total, two being green pockets that cannot win on outside bets. The expectancy of this game is -5.25%, found by the formula: E = [1/38 X 35] + [37/38 X -1] A European roulette wheel has 37 numbers in total, with one green pocket that cannot win on outside bets. The expectancy of this game is -2.70%, found by the formula: E = [1/37 X 35] + [36/37 X -1] So the house edge of European roulette is nearly half that of American roulette. More than that, any gambler will tell you, a house edge of 5.25% is rather unfriendly, but a house edge of 2.70% is very reasonable. There are a few, small, precious ways to improve on our chances in roulette. These mostly stem from options and rule changes dependent upon the specific rules of the table you're at. To learn more about these opportunities to improve your chances of winning, read our roulette strategy section. How to play roulette now? All you have to do is to guess which hole the spinning ball will drop into, to place your bet on that guess, and to wait for the outcome. Roulette Table layout: The numbers 1 to 36 plus a zero are printed on the table. The numbers are laid out in three rows of twelve numbers and a few boxes beside the numbers,called the "outside" bets. The numbers are divided into three betting sets of twelve each: the top twelve from 1 to 12, the middle twelve from 13 to 24 and the bottom twelve from 25 to 36. Areas for betting one of these groupings are found on the table.There are also areas for betting red or black, areas for betting odd or even, and areas for betting the first 18 numbers or the last 18 numbers. Playing roulette: The Dealer sees that all bets are down, spins the wheel, and rolls an ivory ball in the opposite direction. He ends the betting after a while calling "no more bets". When the ball settles in one of the slots, the dealer places an icon on that number. Now the betting results are taken care of: the dealer removes all chips that did not scratch the winning number and pays off the winners. He removes the icon and the round is over. Next, the players place their new bets for the following spin. Each round can lasts approximately one minute or even less. There are different ways of placing your bets. See the section below for details. Placing bets Payoffs in Roulette: You can find all the bets, betting combinations and their odds on the table below. Here are a few sample payoffs: Straight-up bet: A bet on one number (Any number including 0). Pays 35 to 1 (that is,your bet plus 35 times your bet). Split bet: Placing a chip on a line between two numbers. Either comes up you get 17 to 1. Street bet: A chip on the edge of a row covers three numbers. Pay off is 11 to 1. Corner bet: A chip on an intersection covers four numbers. Pay off is 8 to 1. Red or black: Pay off is 1 to 1. A bet on 18 numbers: pays 1 to 1. A bet on 12 numbers: pays 2 to1. Of course the more numbers you choose to cover in one bet the lower is the payoff.
