3999bet European Roulette — How to Bet at the Single-Zero Table
European Roulette is one of the most popular casino table games in the world. It features 37 pockets, straightforward rules, and a variety of betting options. At 3999bet you can play in both live dealer and digital formats.
How a Round Works
The European Roulette wheel has 37 numbers from 0 to 36. The single green zero (0) is what sets this version apart — American Roulette has two zeros (0 and 00), which is less favourable for players.
A round begins with placing bets. The dealer or software gives players a set amount of time to place their chips. The dealer then spins the wheel and releases a small ball. The pocket where the ball comes to rest is the result of that round.
Once the round ends, winning bets are paid out and losing chips are collected. Then a new round begins. The whole process is straightforward and easy to follow.
At a live dealer table you can interact with the dealer in real time, while the digital version lets you play at your own pace.
Bet Types and Payouts
In European Roulette, bets fall into two main categories — Inside Bets and Outside Bets. Inside bets offer higher payouts but lower chances of winning, while outside bets offer lower payouts but better odds.
New players usually start with outside bets, as these cover roughly half of all possible outcomes. More experienced players often combine inside and outside bets.
| Bet Type | Description | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Up | Bet on a single specific number | 35 : 1 |
| Split | Bet on two adjacent numbers | 17 : 1 |
| Street | Three numbers in a single row | 11 : 1 |
| Corner / Square | Bet at the corner of four numbers | 8 : 1 |
| Line | Six numbers across two rows | 5 : 1 |
| Dozen | 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36 | 2 : 1 |
| Column | 12 numbers in one column of the wheel | 2 : 1 |
| Red/Black | Any red or black number | 1 : 1 |
| Even/Odd | Even or odd numbers | 1 : 1 |
| Low/High | 1–18 or 19–36 | 1 : 1 |
House Edge — Why European Roulette Is the Better Choice
The house edge is the mathematical advantage the casino holds on every bet on average. Because European Roulette has only one zero, this advantage is comparatively low — and it stays at roughly the same level across all bet types.
The American version has two zeros, which nearly doubles the house edge. That makes European Roulette more favourable for players over the long run.
Some tables carry the "La Partage" or "En Prison" rule — if zero comes up, you get half of your even-money bet back, or it is held over for the next round. These rules reduce the house edge further.
Keep in mind: The house edge refers to a long-term statistical average. Any result can occur in a single round — every spin is completely independent. No bet type can eliminate the house edge entirely.
Basic Tips for Beginners
There is no guaranteed winning strategy in roulette — outcomes depend entirely on chance. That said, a few basic habits can help you enjoy the game in a more structured way.
- Start with outside bets. Red/Black or Even/Odd bets have a higher chance of winning and pay 1:1 — making it easier to keep your balance going for longer.
- Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you are willing to spend in a session before you begin, and stick to that limit.
- Be careful with the Martingale strategy. Doubling your bet after every loss can quickly hit the table limit — the risk is high.
- Do not rely on previous spin results. Every spin in roulette is independent. The idea that "red must come up next" is not mathematically sound.
- Try mixing different bet types. Combining a small inside bet with an outside bet means a win on either can help offset the other.
- Practice on the digital version. If you want to try a new strategy or bet type, get comfortable with the digital game before moving to a live table.

Bonus Tip: La Partage Rule
Some tables apply the "La Partage" rule — if zero comes up, half of your even-money bet is returned. It is worth seeking out these tables.
