European Roulette

There are three main types of roulette games: European, French and American. Of the three, the European roulette game is undoubtedly the most popular. This is for two reasons: it offers a better chance of winning than American roulette, and it’s not as confusing as French roulette.

On this page, we’re going to be looking in detail at playing European roulette online. We’ll cover topics like the best roulette bets and the basic rules of the game, and once you’ve finished reading, you’ll be more than ready to hit the European roulette table, either in our standard casino or in our exciting live casino.

So, why not learn more about playing online European roulette by taking a read through this page?

Basic Rules of the Game

Let’s first start with the basic rules of the game. If you’ve never played before, you’ll be amazed at how simple the rules are, and if you’ve played a different version of the game, you’ll easily be able to jump over to this one.

The first thing you need to do is decide which bets you’re going to make. There’s no limit on the number of bets you can place, and many players like to almost cover the roulette table with chips. You can learn about the different bets offered when playing Euro roulette further down this page.

Once you’ve chosen your bets, you’ll need to decide how much to wager. This can be anything from a few pence, up to hundreds – or even thousands – of pounds. The more money you bet, the more money you could win, however, you’ll also find that the risk increases as well. It’s up to you to decide on the perfect bet size for you. If you don’t want to bet real money straight away, you’ll find that we also offer the chance to play free European roulette online.

Once you’ve placed your bets, it’s simply a case of spinning the European roulette wheel. You control when the wheel spins in standard roulette games, however, in live dealer roulette, the dealer will spin the wheel once the time limit has expired. You then simply sit back and wait to see if the ball lands on one of the numbers you’ve selected. If it does, you’ll win a real cash prize!

House Edge in European Roulette

If you’ve played casino games for a while, you’ll know that each game has a house edge. This is expressed as a percentage and tells you how much the online casino expects to profit from the game over a long period of time. So, if a game had a house edge of 2.50%, the casino would expect to earn £2.50 from every £100 wagered on the game.

The house edge of European roulette games is 2.70%, which is pretty good when compared to other casino games. It’s not as good as French roulette though, which has a house edge of just 1.35%. American roulette has the highest house edge, by some distance, as there’s a house edge of 5.26% at this game.

It should be mentioned that the house edge only applies to those betting on even money selections. If you choose to make any other types of bets, you’ll find that the house edge increases. This is why experienced players only ever make bets on the even-money selections.

Types of Bets

There are a few different bets you can make when you play European roulette online. We’ve listed them below, along with details about them:

• Even money bets. An even-money bet is a bet placed on red/black, odd/even or 1-18/19-36. They are the simplest bets and the ones with the lowest house edge.
• Straight bet. This is when you bet on one single number. It has the highest payout of all the bets, but the lowest chances of occurring.
• Split bet. A split bet is when you place a chip over two numbers. You’ll win if the ball lands on either of the numbers selected.
• Street bet. A street is a horizontal row of three consecutive numbers and betting on this means you’ll have three chances to win on every spin.
• Corner bet. This is when you place chips over four numbers. The numbers must be arranged in a square on the roulette table.
• Line bet. This is a bet that covers two streets, meaning that you’ll have six chances to win when you spin the wheel.
• Column bet. A column is a vertical strip of 12 numbers on the roulette table. It gives you loads of chances to win, however, the payouts aren’t huge.
• Dozen bet. You’ll see that the roulette table is divided into thirds. A dozen bet sees you betting on one of these thirds.

You should find that the European roulette layout is pretty easy to work out, so you’ll be able to place bets on the various selections in no time.
