European Roulette

Born in the 17th century, and increasingly developing to become the leading game in the gambling industry. Roulette appears in both traditional casinos and online casinos. Although there are three main variants: French, European and American, European is the place with the most people playing in the world. Although these variations are all based on the common basic rules that make up, players should still know a few small differences.

All variants have a wheel, on which hangs the bags containing the numbers. The player selects the number they like then the dealer throws the ball when the wheel rolls, whichever the ball falls into, the number wins. The reason that European Roulette is more popular is because there are many advantages for players, unlike American Roulette, the appearance of the second zero bag has reduced the player's win rate. Let’s find the difference between these two kinds of Roulette to get the chances to win when playing online casinos Malaysia.

European vs American Roulette

The name Roulette has shown its symbol as the wheel. American Roulette wanted to increase the house's profit, so she added a zero bag, so there were 38 bags on the wheel. Unlike American Roulette, European Roulette has only one pocket of zero, and the house's chance of winning is 2.7%, nearly half of the American bookmaker's winning chance. So players will choose European Roulette more for their benefit. The common point of these two variants is that the black / red number pockets are placed alternately, so are the odd / even numbers.

The numbers on the wheel are not randomly assigned, but are arranged in such a way that the chances of each number winning are equal. This creates fairness between the players as well as the house.

The numbers that are placed opposite on the American wheel are consecutive numbers while in Europe, except for numbers 5 and 10, the rest are divided into two groups high (19 to 36) and low (1 to 18), they are lying alternately. Unlike American wheels, the numbers on European wheels instead of outwards are all directed to the center of the wheel.

The color of the bags is divided into two colors: red and black, even / odd according to the rules:

-  Between 1 and 10 and 19 to 28, there is red if it's an odd number, and even numbers are black.

-  11 to 18 and 29 to 36:

     + Black if odd.

     +Red if it's an even number.

There are several differences in the betting layout:

-  American: Vertical table can bet outside.

-  European: Two sides of the betting layout are used to bet on the outside.

When placing a bet:

-   European: The ball falls into the pocket of zero, the player can claim back money, at least half of the amount bet

-   American: A ball in the pocket does not mean all bets are canceled, and the money is lost.

Players participating in the European variant will be a bit extreme because the chips used in this variation are normal casino chips, so keeping track of bets is a bit difficult compared to American Roulette.

Possible Bets in European Roulette

European Roulette does not offer a wide range of betting types, with only two main types being internal and external bets. The player who places the betting chips when he / she wants to participate, will have a table recording the minimum and maximum amount for each bet. Croupier will throw the ball and when the ball rolls slowly, about to fall into the pocket, then the player is not allowed to bet any more. The winning number is chosen, the house will pay the winnings and recover the losses. Then the new rotation will be continued.

Placing Bets on the Inside

Here are the types of bets placed inside:

-   Straight Bet: Players bet on their preferred number and wait for the ball to roll (35: 1 is the payment for this bet)

-   Split Bet: Two adjacent numbers will be placed and won until the ball lands on either of them. 17: 1 is the payment.

-   Street Bet: There are three numbers on a single horizontal line that are bet

-   Corner Bet: 4 numbers form a square and the player places chips at the intersection of 4 numbers (8: 1 is the payout for this bet type)

-   Sixline Bet: Where the boundary line at the end of the two lines intersects, the player places bets on it.

Placing Bets on the Outside

Here are the following types of betting when playing Roulette online:

-   Column Bet: Chips will be placed on the box at the end of the column, a total of 3 columns, players will select the column with their favorite number. 2: 1 is the payment of the bet.

-   Dozen / Group Bet: there are three groups of numbers (1-12, 13-24, 25-36), the bet is 2: 1, players bet on the number they want.

-   Black / Red: There are black and red betting boxes, players choose the color number to bet and put chips into it

-   Odd / Even Bet: Two groups of even and odd numbers bet option per person.

-   High / Low Bet: two groups of low numbers (1-18) and high (19-36) correspond to the two boxes and chips are bet on those two boxes.

The Exotic Call Bets

In addition to the above bets, there is an additional "call bet" in the European variant. For this bet type, players are only allowed to request a bet with croupier. This category has 3 main bets:

-   Voisins du Zero: These are the numbers between the 22nd and 25th bags on the European wheel, all having 17 numbers next to the 0s (22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2 and 25). In which 0, 2, 3 take 2 chips to bet, 25, 26, 28, 29 are the corner costs 2 chips, the rest divided into one chip per bet.

-   Tiers du Cylindre: Players need to spend 6 chips to place a bet. It will be the numbers 27 to 33 on the wheel (27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33).

-   Orphelins: Except for the numbers in the above two types of bets, the remaining 8 numbers on the wheel are bets of this type.

The Importance of the Zero(es)

Zero is an even number, not an odd number, and of course neither high nor low. Betting rules are stated that if the ball falls into zero then the player loses the bet, or if it is retrieved it can only be half. So to increase the house's chances of winning, American Roulette has added a bag of zeros. The European Roulette also has a zero pocket, but only one and this variation has additional rules that give players the ability to win, players still have a chance to get their money back when the ball rolls into the zero pocket.
