It is a single-zero version of the game, compared to its American counterpart (double-zero) and, therefore, has better odds.

How To Play European Roulette

Playing European roulette is simple. First and foremost, this process begins with selecting and placing the chips. Here are easy-to-follow steps that walk you through how to get started:

1. Log in or sign up to Fruity King.
2. Locate the European Roulette game in the lobby.
3. Click the game thumbnail to load the game.
4. Select your chip value.
5. Place chips on a number, group or colour.

8. Your wins are paid automatically and the round resets.

For example, if you place a £5 bet on black and the ball lands on 7 black, you win £5 plus your £5 stake.

European Roulette Betting Options

There are also a number of bets available to you when playing European roulette and each one has different odds which can increase your payout, due to the odds being invariably higher. With these bets, your chances of winning decrease. Here are the most common bet types:

• Straight-up (single number) – pays 35:1
• Neighbour (single number plus two either side) – pays 35:1
• Split (2 numbers) – pays 17:1
• Street (3 numbers) – pays 11:1
• Corner (4 numbers) – pays 8:1
• Dozens/Columns (12 numbers) – pays 2:1
• Even-money bets (red/black, odd/even, 1-18/19-36) – pays 1:1

How Payouts And Odds Work In European Roulette

In European roulette, the odds, payouts and RTP are easy to follow and understand. The RTP is 97.30% and is consistent across all bets. It is based on your expected return over a long run – for example, if you wager £100 you can expect a theoretical return of £97.30.

Your payout is reflected by the odds – the riskier the bet, the higher the odds are, which means the payout is higher. The table highlights this:

RTP vs Volatility vs Hit Rate

It is easy to confuse RTP, volatility levels and hit rate in European roulette. RTP is the theoretical expected return over a long period.

The volatility depends on the type of bet you place, due to the odds. For example – a straight up bet carries a high volatility, a corner bet has a medium volatility and a red/black or odd/even bet has a low volatility.

When it comes to hit rate, this is based on your probability of winning at any given time. A high hit rate refers to the bets that have a higher probability of winning such as odd/even or red/black, while a low hit rate would be a straight up bet.

Tips For Playing European Roulette

Roulette is ultimately a game based on chance, although there are strategies you can employ to enhance your enjoyment and play smarter:

• Use even-money bets to reduce variance.
• Try ‘dozen bets’ for mid-level risk.
• Do not chase losses – the house edge is fixed regardless of the type of bet you make.
• Set time or loss limits.
• Start playing digital, then try live roulette.
