ABOUT THE GAME
What Is European Roulette?
European Roulette is a casino table game played on a wheel with 37 pockets numbered 0 through 36. The European Roulette game is the standard single zero roulette format used across casinos worldwide outside the United States. Players bet on where a ball will land after the wheel is spun. The European Roulette wheel has one green zero pocket — compared to two in American Roulette — which is the structural reason for its lower house edge.
History and Origins
European Roulette traces its origins to 18th-century France, where mathematician Blaise Pascal's work on perpetual motion led to an early wheel design. The single-zero format was standardized in France before spreading to Monte Carlo and eventually across Europe. The American variant added a second zero to increase house revenue when the game reached US shores in the 19th century. European Roulette has remained the standard in most of the world ever since.
The 37-Pocket Wheel and Number Layout
The European Roulette numbers run from 0 to 36. The single 0 pocket is green; 18 pockets are red and 18 are black. Numbers do not appear in sequential order around the wheel — they alternate between high/low and odd/even values to balance the distribution across opposing sides. The 0 sits between 32 and 26 on the wheel face.
GAMEPLAY
How to Play European Roulette – Step by Step
The European Roulette rules are straightforward. Each round has three phases: betting, spin, and payout. The game does not require prior experience — the interface handles timing automatically and displays available bets clearly on the layout.
Place Your Bets
Select a chip value and click any position on the betting layout. Multiple bets can be placed in a single round across both inside and outside positions. Bets range from 0.10 to 500 credits. The layout clearly separates inside bets (individual numbers and small groups) from outside bets (colors, odd/even, dozens, columns).
The Spin
Click Spin to launch the wheel. The RNG determines the winning pocket. The ball settles and the result is highlighted on both the wheel and the betting layout simultaneously.
Payouts and Settlements
Winning bets are paid automatically at the rates in the paytable. Losing bets are cleared from the layout. The payout is credited to your balance immediately before the next round begins.
Starting a New Round
Re-bet the same positions, adjust your stake, or change your bet selection before the next spin. There is no time pressure on VegasX — the round does not start until you click Spin. Ready to play European Roulette on VegasX? Contact us to set up your account.

| Straight Up | 35:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% |
| Split | 17:1 | 5.41% | 2.70% |

HOUSE EDGE & RTP
House Edge and RTP – European vs. American
The European Roulette house edge of 2.70% is the core reason informed players choose this variant. No European Roulette strategy can eliminate the house edge — but choosing the single zero wheel over the double zero is the single most impactful European Roulette tip available. It halves the mathematical disadvantage before a single bet is placed.
European Roulette RTP: 97.30%
European Roulette RTP sits at 97.30% — meaning for every 100 credits wagered over a long session, the theoretical return is 97.30 credits. This is a statistical average across millions of spins, not a prediction for any individual session. Short sessions will vary significantly from this figure.
European Roulette vs American Roulette
The comparison table below illustrates the mathematical case for European Roulette over American Roulette. The only structural difference is one extra pocket — but that pocket has an outsized effect on the house edge.
| METRIC | EUROPEAN | AMERICAN |
|---|---|---|
| Pockets | 37 (0–36) | 38 (0, 00, 1–36) |
| House Edge | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| RTP | 97.30% | 94.74% |
| Zero Pockets | 1 (single zero) | 2 (0 and 00) |
| Five Num. Bet | Not available | 7.89% edge |
La Partage and En Prison rules, where available, reduce the house edge to approximately 1.35% on even-money bets when zero hits — returning half the stake (La Partage) or holding it for the next spin (En Prison). Check the in-game rules on VegasX to confirm current configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions About European Roulette
European Roulette is a casino table game played on a 37-pocket single zero wheel (0–36). Players bet on where a ball will land after the wheel spins. The single zero pocket gives it a 2.70% house edge — significantly lower than American Roulette's 5.26%.
Place bets on the layout, click Spin, and the RNG determines the winning pocket. Winning bets are paid at the standard payout rates. The wheel has 37 pockets (0–36) and all bets carry a 2.70% house edge.
The standard house edge is 2.70% on all bets. This is half the 5.26% house edge of American Roulette, which uses a 38-pocket double zero wheel. Where La Partage or En Prison rules apply, the house edge drops to approximately 1.35% on even-money bets.
European Roulette RTP is approximately 97.30%. This is a theoretical long-run average and does not predict individual session outcomes. RTP is calculated as 100% minus the 2.70% house edge.
Inside bets are placed on specific numbers or small groups (Straight Up, Split, Street, Corner, Six Line). Outside bets cover larger outcomes (Red/Black, Odd/Even, Dozens, Columns). Inside bets pay more but win less frequently; outside bets pay less but cover nearly half the wheel.
La Partage is an optional rule that applies when zero hits on even-money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even, 1-18/19-36). It returns half the stake rather than losing the full bet. Where active, this reduces the house edge on those bets to approximately 1.35%.
