The Royal Guide to European Roulette Bets

From straight-up numbers to neighbour bets - a clear guide to every wager on the roulette layout.

Inside Bets

Inside bets are placed on the numbers themselves. A straight-up bet on a single number pays 35:1; split bets (two numbers) pay 17:1; street bets (three) pay 11:1; corners (four) pay 8:1; and six-line bets pay 5:1.

These bets have lower odds of winning but higher payouts.

Outside Bets

Outside bets cover large groups of numbers. Red or black, odd or even and high or low (1-18 / 19-36) pay 1:1 and win roughly 48.6% of the time. Dozens and columns pay 2:1.

Outside bets are ideal for players who want longer sessions at the table.

Call Bets and Neighbours

Our croupiers will place call bets for you - such as Voisins du Zéro (17 numbers around the zero), Tiers du Cylindre (12 numbers) and Orphelins (8 numbers). Neighbour bets cover a chosen number plus the two adjacent pockets on the wheel on either side.

Remember: every bet carries the same 2.7% house edge, so the best 'system' is a budget.
