European Roulette Game by BGaming

European Roulette by BGaming features the single-zero 37-pocket wheel that gives players significantly better odds than American Roulette — a 2.70% house edge versus 5.26%. The game includes full racetrack betting with Call Bets (Voisins du Zéro, Tiers du Cylindre, Red Splits, Black Splits) alongside all standard inside and outside wagers. BGaming's implementation adds Provably Fair verification so you can independently confirm every spin's fairness. Play with a $1–$100 betting range at Slots Empire Casino, or try the free demo first.

European Roulette by BGaming Overview

BGaming's European Roulette follows the traditional single-zero format: 37 pockets numbered 0–36, with numbers 1–36 in alternating red and black plus one green zero pocket. The single zero is what distinguishes European Roulette from American Roulette (which adds a second 00 pocket) and creates the more favorable 2.70% house edge. This is a standard digital implementation with no gimmicks or bonus mechanics — authentic European roulette with clean execution and the added benefit of racetrack Call Bets.

BGaming developer profile

BGaming is a well-established online casino game provider known for delivering high-quality slots and table games with modern technology. Their portfolio includes both classic casino titles and innovative original concepts. BGaming implements Provably Fair technology in many of their games, allowing players to independently verify the fairness of each round using cryptographic proof. All games use certified RNG systems and are built on HTML5 for seamless cross-platform performance. BGaming also produces American Roulette and French Roulette variants alongside this European version.

What sets this version apart?

Two features distinguish BGaming's European Roulette from competing versions. First, the full racetrack betting panel with French-named Call Bets (Voisins du Zéro, Tiers du Cylindre, Red Splits, Black Splits) — these pre-set combinations cover specific wheel sections and aren't available in every European Roulette implementation. Second, BGaming's Provably Fair technology lets you verify that each spin's outcome was predetermined and unaltered, providing a level of transparency beyond standard RNG certification.

European Roulette Visual & Audio Design

BGaming's design is clean and elegant with a focus on clarity. The betting table is well-organized with inside bets, outside bets, and the racetrack panel for Call Bets all visible on a single screen. When you place a wager and spin, the game transitions to a dedicated wheel view showing the ball spinning with realistic physics before settling into a pocket. An announcer calls out the winning number, adding a polished touch.

Table layout and interface

The main screen displays the complete betting grid with clearly marked inside and outside bet areas. The racetrack panel sits alongside the main table, showing wheel-order numbers with labeled sections for each Call Bet type (Voisins, Tiers, Red Splits, Black Splits). Chip denominations are clearly displayed, and placed bets show distinct chip stacks for easy tracking. The interface maintains excellent number readability across all screen sizes.

Sound design

Audio includes the satisfying click of chips being placed, realistic wheel spin sounds, the ball bouncing between pockets, and a voice announcement of the winning number and color. Sound can be adjusted or muted through the settings menu.

European Roulette Rules & Gameplay

Each round follows the standard roulette sequence: place bets, spin the wheel, collect winnings. The 37-pocket wheel gives every individual number a 1/37 (2.70%) chance of hitting per spin — slightly better odds than American Roulette's 1/38 (2.63%). All outcomes are determined by certified RNG with Provably Fair verification available.

How a round plays out

Select a chip denomination ($1, $5, $10, $25, $100) → click betting positions on the table or racetrack → review total bet → click Spin → watch the wheel-view animation → the announcer calls the result → winnings are credited automatically. Use Rebet to repeat your previous layout, or clear and start fresh.

Wheel structure

The European wheel arranges 37 numbers in a specific non-sequential order: 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6, 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26. This arrangement distributes red/black and odd/even values evenly. The single green 0 sits between 26 and 32.

The single zero advantage

European Roulette has just one green zero pocket, compared to American Roulette's two (0 and 00). This single difference cuts the house edge nearly in half: 2.70% versus 5.26%. Over 100 spins at $10 each ($1,000 wagered), the expected cost is approximately $27.00 on European versus $52.60 on American. This makes European Roulette one of the best mathematical values in any casino.

Inside bets

Straight-Up (1 number, 35:1, 2.70% probability), Split (2 numbers, 17:1, 5.41%), Street (3 numbers, 11:1, 8.11%), Corner (4 numbers, 8:1, 10.81%), Six Line (6 numbers, 5:1, 16.22%). All carry the same 2.70% house edge.

Outside bets

Red/Black, Odd/Even, and High/Low (1–18 / 19–36) all pay 1:1 with 48.65% winning probability. Dozen bets (1–12, 13–24, 25–36) and Column bets each cover 12 numbers at 2:1 with 32.43% probability. All carry the same 2.70% house edge.

Call Bets (Racetrack Bets) — Unique Feature

BGaming's European Roulette includes a full racetrack betting panel for French-named Call Bets. These cover specific sections of the physical wheel (not the table layout) and are placed as pre-set chip combinations. This feature is a significant advantage over many competing European Roulette versions that omit racetrack betting entirely.

Voisins du Zéro (Neighbors of Zero)

Covers 17 numbers surrounding zero on the wheel: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25. Requires 9 chips placed as specific splits, corners, and trios. This is the largest racetrack bet, covering nearly half the wheel.

Tiers du Cylindre (Thirds of the Wheel)

Covers 12 numbers on the opposite side of the wheel from zero: 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33. Requires 6 chips placed as six split bets. Covers roughly one-third of the wheel.

Red Splits and Black Splits

Red Splits covers 4 split bets on specific red-adjacent pairs: 9/12, 16/19, 18/21, 27/30. Black Splits covers 4 split bets on black-adjacent pairs: 8/11, 10/13, 17/20, 26/29. Each requires 4 chips.

European Roulette Betting Options & Payouts

All bets carry the same 2.70% house edge. The only difference between bet types is the tradeoff between payout size and win probability. Unlike American Roulette, there is no "worst bet" — every wager on the European wheel has identical mathematical expectations.

European Roulette by BGaming RTP & House Edge

The RTP is 97.30%, corresponding to a 2.70% house edge on every bet. This means for every $100 wagered, the casino retains approximately $2.70 over time. European Roulette offers one of the lowest house edges of any casino game — only blackjack with optimal strategy and certain craps bets are more favorable.

European vs American Roulette comparison

European Roulette Strategy & Tips

No betting system can eliminate the 2.70% house edge, but disciplined strategy determines how long your bankroll lasts and how much entertainment you get from your budget. The lower house edge means your money stretches further than on American Roulette — making strategy and bankroll management even more impactful.

Outside bets for session longevity

Even-money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low) win 48.65% of the time — closer to a true coin flip than American Roulette's 47.37%. These create low-volatility sessions with minimal bankroll swings. Dozen and Column bets at 2:1 offer a middle ground between frequency and payout size.

Call Bets for wheel-section coverage

Use racetrack bets to target specific wheel sections rather than table layout positions. Voisins du Zéro covers nearly half the wheel (17 numbers) with 9 chips — useful when you want broad wheel coverage through split and corner bets rather than individual straight-ups.

Popular betting systems

The Martingale doubles bets after losses, aiming to recover with one win. The D'Alembert increases by one unit after losses and decreases after wins — gentler progression. The Fibonacci follows the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. All three manage bet sizing but none change the 2.70% house edge. The $100 table maximum limits Martingale recovery — after just 6 consecutive losses at $1, you'd need $64 (approaching the ceiling).

Bankroll management

Set a session budget you're comfortable losing. A guideline: bring 50–100x your base bet. At $1 per spin, that's $50–$100 for a full session. The lower house edge means your bankroll naturally lasts longer than on American Roulette — approximately 35% longer for the same bet size.

How to Play European Roulette by BGaming

Getting started takes seconds. The interface uses clear betting areas and intuitive controls that make placement straightforward even for first-time roulette players.

Step-by-step guide

Select chip size ($1, $5, $10, $25, or $100). Click or tap positions on the main table for inside/outside bets, or use the racetrack panel for Call Bets. Multiple bet types can be combined in the same round. Review your total wager, then click Spin. The view transitions to the wheel animation with an announcer calling the result. Winnings are credited automatically. Use Rebet to repeat your layout.

Beginner recommendations

Start with even-money outside bets to learn the interface and rhythm. These win nearly half the time, creating a comfortable pace. Once familiar, explore the racetrack Call Bets — Tiers du Cylindre is a good starting point (6 chips covering 12 numbers). The free demo is the ideal place to learn without risking real money.

Demo mode

The demo provides identical gameplay with virtual credits — same wheel, same RNG, same Provably Fair mechanics. Use it to test strategies, learn Call Bet placements, and get comfortable before committing funds. Demo play is the smartest first step for any new online game player.
