European Roulette

Game objective:

European Roulette is played using a wheel containing 37 numbered slots (1-36, plus a 0), a ball and a layout upon which the player may place a bet or bets covering a single number or groups of numbers. The ball is spun around the wheel and will come to rest in one of the numbered slots, indicating the winning number.

The player wins by correctly guessing which number will win, and is paid in accordance with the paytable given below, based on how many chips they have covering all or part of the winning number.

Game overview:

  • The game rules and payouts are identical in both the real-money and play-money versions.

How to play:

  • You can place racetrack-style bets in the Racetrack Betting Area on the right side of the screen.

  • When the ball comes to rest, a marker is placed on the winning number and all losing bets are removed.
  • When you hit the 'Spin' button, the spinning wheel is zoomed in on. The win amount is calculated as per the paytable given below, and your winnings are shown under Last Win. This win amount is added to the game balance.
