How the Game Works

How a Round Plays Out

European Roulette Pro has a wheel with thirty-seven pockets numbered 0 to 36. A round begins when the betting window opens — during this time you place chips on different sections of the table. Once the time is up, the dealer (or the digital interface) spins the wheel and releases a small ball in the opposite direction.

As the wheel slows down, the pocket where the ball stops determines the winning number and colour. If your bet position matches where the ball lands, you receive a payout; if not, your chips are lost. The betting window then opens again for the next round.

The key difference from American Roulette is the absence of 00 (double zero), which means the odds on a straight-up bet are slightly better. This advantage has made the European variant popular worldwide.

Bet Details

Main Bet Types and Their Payouts

Bets in European Roulette Pro are divided into two main categories: inside bets and outside bets. The table below lists each type and its payout ratio.

Bet Name Where to Place Your Chip Payout Category
Straight Up On a single number 35 : 1 Inside
Split On the line between two adjacent numbers 17 : 1 Inside
Street At the end of a row of three numbers 11 : 1 Inside
Corner (Square) At the intersection of four numbers 8 : 1 Inside
Line Six numbers across two rows together 5 : 1 Inside
Dozen 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36 2 : 1 Outside
Column Any one of the three columns on the table 2 : 1 Outside
Red / Black Red or black pockets 1 : 1 Outside
Odd / Even Odd or even numbers 1 : 1 Outside
Low / High 1–18 or 19–36 1 : 1 Outside

Inside Bets

Higher potential payouts but comparatively lower odds of winning. Suitable for players willing to take on more risk.

Outside Bets

Higher odds of winning but lower payouts. Outside bets are useful for keeping your balance steady early on.

Call Bets (Racetrack)

Voisins du Zéro, Tiers du Cylindre — these special bets cover specific sections of the wheel. They are easy to place in the Pro version.

The Math

How the House Edge Works

2.7%

The house edge in European Roulette sits at roughly this ratio. Compared to the American variant — which has two zero pockets, 0 and 00 — it is nearly half.

The house edge is the small average advantage the casino holds on every bet over the long run. For example, on a Red/Black bet there are 18 red and 18 black pockets among 37, but the zero pocket is neither red nor black — that is where the advantage comes from.

No strategy can change the house edge. However, at tables that use the "La Partage" rule (available on some Pro variants), half of even-money bets are returned when the ball lands on zero, which reduces the house edge further.

Advice for Beginners

Starting Strategies and General Tips

Roulette is a game of chance — no strategy guarantees a win. Even so, certain approaches can help you keep your balance longer and enjoy the experience.

1

Set a Budget First

Decide how much you are willing to spend in a session before you start. Once you reach that limit, stop — placing extra bets to chase more wins is not a good idea.

2

Start with Outside Bets

Red/Black or Odd/Even bets have better odds of winning. Stick to small, safer bets until you have a feel for how the game moves.

3

Be Aware of the Martingale

This method of doubling your bet after a loss is popular, but a few consecutive losses can drain your budget quickly. Use it carefully if you choose to.

4

Place Different Bets Together

Placing an outside bet alongside a straight-up bet on a number creates a balance between risk and payout. This is known as a "covering" strategy.

5

Take a Break After a Win

Taking a short break after a good round helps keep a clear head and supports better decision-making.

  • Betting time is fixed — you need to decide quickly

Digital (RNG) Roulette

  • Play at your own pace — no waiting for the next spin
  • Ideal for practising betting patterns
  • Works fine even with a slow internet connection
  • Results are determined by an RNG (Random Number Generator) — completely unbiased
  • No human interaction — feels like playing alone
Betting Limits

What Table Limits Look Like

European Roulette Pro is available across tables with different stake levels. If you want to start on a small budget, you can begin with the lowest outside bets, while higher-stake tables are also available for experienced players.

Generally, the maximum limit for inside bets is lower than for outside bets, because straight-up payouts are much higher. It is worth checking the limit meter on a table before you sit down.

Live dealer tables typically have a slightly higher minimum bet, as a set number of players share the same table. Digital tables, on the other hand, can offer a much lower minimum bet.

wmc also lets you play from mobile, so you can join your preferred table at any time from anywhere. If you use the wmc App, searching and filtering tables becomes even easier.

Common Questions

Questions About European Roulette Pro

European Roulette has only one zero pocket (0), giving 37 pockets in total. American Roulette has two zero pockets (0 and 00), making 38 pockets and roughly doubling the house edge. So for equal bets, the European variant is comparatively more favourable for the player.

While the betting window is open, you can place several separate bets at the same time — including a mix of inside and outside bets. However, the total chip value of each bet must stay within the table limit set for that bet type.

European Roulette Pro typically includes a racetrack (call bets) feature, which lets you easily place special bets such as Voisins du Zéro or Les Orphelins. The interface also shows more detailed statistics and hot number tracking that are not available in the standard variant.

First, spend some time on the digital variant to get a good feel for the game pace and bet types. Then join a live dealer table. Start with a low-limit table and keep your first few rounds to outside bets only — this makes it easier to adjust to the pace of the table.

Under standard rules, when the ball lands on zero, all even-money outside bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even, Low/High) lose. However, under the "La Partage" rule available on some Pro tables, half of even-money bets are returned when the ball lands on zero — where this rule applies, the house edge is reduced further.
