Roulette Game Odds
Roulette Royale was introduced in 2002 as the internet's first progressive Roulette game. Jackpots begin at $60,000 and often exceed $200,000.
Roulette, like Craps, is another independent variable game where Lady Luck decides the winners. An air of French sophistication presides over the table and the possibility of winning up to 35 times your bet creates a strong attraction for many gamblers. The odds in Roulette are very easy to calculate. The wheel is divided into either 37 or 38 slots, depending on whether you are playing the European version (single zero), or the American version which has an extra space in the double zero slot. The zero space(s) represent the house edge. If there were none, it would be an even money game. The house advantage in single zero Roulette is 2.7% and is 5.26% for the double zero game.
How to figure the Odds
You may calculate the actual odds for house advantage in Roulette
as follows:
Single Zero wheels Double Zero wheels
(35 - 36)/37 x 100 = -2.70% (35 - 37)/38 x 100 = -5.26%

Even 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
Odd 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
Low (1-18) 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
High (19-36) 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
Red 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
Black 1.05 to 1 1.01 1 to 1
As you can see from the chart, the European single zero game offers the same payouts, but better odds than the American double zero game (because there is one fewer space on the wheel). While it is rare to find the single zero game at a casino in North America, this game is standard among most all online casinos. Online casinos generally offer better odds than those found in land casinos across the board, and this holds true for the game of Roulette.
The bets to avoid in this game are probably all single number
bets and the five number bet (only found on double zero wheels)
because these types of bets have the largest disparity between
true odds and actual payouts.
If you plan to play Roulette, stick with the bets whose odds almost
mirror their payouts. These "even money" bets include
betting on Even, Odd, Low (numbers 1 through 18), High (numbers
19 through 36), Red, or Black. All of these wagers pay out at
1 to 1.
