American and European roulette table layout, bets and payouts
(See additional information below)
American style roulette wheels have both a 0 and a 00 slot while European wheels contain just the 0 slot. Mobile Roulette Apps. A few of the big software developers have released a mobile version of their roulette games. The most popular would of course be Android and iOS, however, there are roulette apps for both Blackberry and Windows mobile. But back to roulette. The zero is the only green number on the roulette wheel, and it marks the difference between a European Roulette wheel and an American Roulette wheel, as a European wheel has one zero pocket and an American wheel has two zero pockets (the 0 and the 00). On a European Wheel, the 0 sits between black 26 and the red number 32. Zero and double-zero — 0 and 00 — are green. So, American roulette has 38 sectors on the wheel. And in American roulette players have chips of their own colors: every player gets a set of certain color chips to differ from other players. It is convenient. The American Roulette rules are quite simple and almost the same as in European Roulette. Matty's Toy Stop Deluxe Table Top Roulette Wheel with 50 Chips, Rake, Spinning Wheel & Double Zero Style Felt Covered. $14.99$14.99 $25.00$25.00. A roulette wheel in the U.S. Contains 38 equally sized spaces. The wheel is spun and a ball randomly lands in one of these spaces. Two spaces are green and have numbers 0 and 00 on them. The other spaces are numbered from 1 to 36.

The word 'roulette' is french for 'small wheel'. The original roulette game was also known as 'French Roulette' and it literally took over the European gambling scene in the early 18th century. Today almost all French Roulette tables around the world have been replaced by a European version of the American Roulette.
The American and the European roulette table layouts are practically the same, the main difference is that the European table has one zero position (0) and the American table has two zero positions (0, 00). The other major difference is the sequence of the numbers on the roulette wheel. They are totally different.
The French roulette too has one zero only, but the table layout is slightly different and wider (see picture of table layout below), and there are no individual coloured chips for the players, cash chips are used. Also, a stick is used by the dealer and stickman to announce the winning number, to collect the chips from the table and to pay the winners, which makes the game slower than the American version.
In the American and European roulette individual coloured chips are used for each player and after the outcome the losing chips are collected from the table by hand and the winnings are paid by hand. Play is much faster than the French roulette.
In French casinos 'American Roulette' means a roulette game with double zeros (0, 00 - on the table layout and on the wheel), the same as used in the USA. The American roulette with one zero (or the European version) is referred to as English Roulette to distinguish it from the double-zero American Roulette and to emphasize that it has one zero only (as used in the UK).
However, in many countries (including the UK) the single-zero European roulette is called American Roulette to distinguish it from the French roulette table layout and for the manner the game is played. In some African countries they call it 'Roulette with French numeration on American table'.
To sum up:
- American Roulette can have a single zero or a double zero, but the manner it is played is the same for both, and play is faster than French Roulette. Apart from the zero positions, the table layout is the same. The other major difference is in the roulette wheel, the sequence of the numbers on the wheel is totally different.
- European Roulette, a term mostly used in the USA, is roulette with a single zero regardless of the table layout, could refer to either the American Roulette with a single zero or to the French Roulette as both use the same type of roulette wheel with the same sequence of numbers.
- French Roulette is known everywhere as French Roulette, has a single zero, a wide table layout and have Stickmen that handle the chips.
- American Roulette in USA casinos and in French casinos is referred to the American Roulette with double zeros (0, 00).
- American Roulette in non-US and non-French casinos (for example: in United Kingdom casinos) is referred to the American Roulette with a single zero. In some European casinos the American single zero roulette is called Fair Roulette.
- English Roulette, a term commonly used in French casinos, is referred to the American Roulette with a single zero, as used in United Kingdom casinos.

Finales - A type of group bets on numbers ending with the same digit. Examples:
- Final 7 means bet on the numbers 7, 17 and 27 straight up (three chips).
- Final 2 means bet on the numbers 2, 12, 22 and 32 straight up (four chips).
- Final 2-5 means split bets on the numbers 2/5, 12/15, 22/25 and 32/35 (four chips).
The table layout on the French version of roulette is different from the American style roulette table shown above. The main difference is in the position of the side bets (outside bets). The side bets on the French table are split in two and run along both sides of the table layout. Each side bet is given its French name and sometimes also its English translation underneath.
Roulette Announced Bets or Call Bets (Used in French roulette tables and in some European casinos with single-zero wheel roulette tables. Common in most UK casinos with single-zero wheel American style roulette tables.)
These bets consist of a group of numbers and there are 5 types:
Number Neighbours bet/Neighbors bet (Voisin du Nombre): 5 chips bet on a number which covers the number itself and the two numbers on either side of it on the roulette wheel.
Zero Neighbours bet (Voisins du Zero): 9 chips bet covers Zero plus seven numbers on right, and nine numbers on left, 0/2/3 + 25/26/28/29, each with 2 chips, 4/7 + 12/15 + 18/21 + 19/22 + 32/35, each with 1 chip.
A Third section of the Wheel bet (Tiers du Cylindre): 6 chips split bets cover numbers from the 33 to the 27 on the roulette wheel, 5/8 + 10/11 + 13/16 + 23/24 + 27/30 + 33/36, each with 1 chip.
Full Orphans bet (Orphelin Plein): 8 chips bet covers 0 + 6 + 9 + 14 + 17 + 20 + 31 + 34, each with 1 chip.
Orphans Split bet (Orphelin Cheval): 5 chips bet covers numbers 6/9 + 14/17 + 17/20 + 31/34, each with 1 chip split bets, and number 1 with 1 chip bet.
Roulite or Roulight table layout
Roulite or Roulight is the modern variety of Roulette. A table game that has been developed in the first instance by specialists at the Wiesbaden Casino, Wiesbaden, Germany.
The game is dynamic and very fast. Players, who like to play sectors and neighbours love it. Bets can only be placed on full numbers (staight up), on two connected numbers (split), neighbours of numbers and sections of the wheel. No outside bets.
La Boule table layout and wheel
Boule or La Boule is a simple and fast game that is similar to Roulette, popular in French casinos and can now be played online.
The game features a table and a wheel with only 9 numbers and 3 different colours. The wheel is spun and a small rubber ball bounces around the wheel before settling into one of the coloured holes to determine the outcome.
Betting will be familiar to Roulette players with the table layout providing a range of betting options. Players can place a bet on Red or Black, Odd or Even, High or Low, or on individual numbers of the wheel.
The number 5, coloured yellow, plays in a similar way to the zero (0 or 00) in normal Roulette. You can bet on it like any other individual number, but if the number 5 is spun then only the bets on 5 win and all other bets lose.
Because there are less numbers in Boule, the chances of spinning a 5 are greater than a zero being spun in normal Roulette, which makes the house edge of La Boule higher than Roulette.
If you bet on the winning number then you are paid 7:1, which is the payout for all bets on individual numbers, and 1:1 on all other bets.
CAMMEGH spread-bet roulette table layout and display board
Spread-bet roulette is a unique CAMMEGH (cammegh.com) concept adding seven roulette side bets, offering the players the chance to win high payouts with one spin of the wheel (also increased house edge to the casino). Seven additional betting circles are added to the regular table layout, located among the outside bets as shown on the photo below.
How it works: A set of electronic numbers, independent from the roulette wheel numbers, act as a secondary wheel on the electronic billboard display along with a set representing the actual roulette wheel numbers, forming two concentric rings spinning in opposing directions, as shown on the billboard display photo below.
When 'no more bets' is announced, the two rings on the display stop, randomly aligning the two sets of numbers. This takes place before the ball on the actual roulette wheel comes to a stop and lands on the winning number.
When the ball stops, the corresponding winning number on the display ring is then paired with its aligning electronic number. The sum of these paired numbers determines the spread-bet result. The billboard display continuously shows the electronic number results alongside the regular roulette number results (see photo below, on the left side of the display).

1. New Roulette Software Released to the Public
RouletteHemis ~ version 3.0, January 27, 2007 ~ Free software for registered members.
Thus, in the year of grace 2002 I offered a gift to one of the most intense haters of mine. The guy (you'll find him here under the alias Chip) informed me about an undocumented casino incident. An apparent gambler claimed he was Ion Saliu and he had gambling systems for sale. I believe in reconciliation. And so I rewarded the hater of mine with free roulette software that had not been released to the public.
To my dismay, I learned from various sources and first-hand that one of the roulette systems in my gift-software had already been pirated. It always gets to me when I hear something like that: Piracy or plagiarism of my creations. I had offered the same piece of roulette software to a few other gamblers.
This very roulette system was pirated soon after I introduced it. For example, an Australian group behind the website named www.genuinewinner.com already sells a $2,500 system. They try their hardest to avoid specifics of their roulette system. But one picture is worth a thousand words. Their advertising logo reads (in an image):
'We consider which HALF of the wheel the ball landed in.'
'Roulette System that Won Millions!' Evidently, it is blatant piracy of the theory I present here. Not to mention that they do NOT offer software to be downloaded to the player's computer. They might be using my RouletteHemis behind the scenes! They also warn against playing roulette at online casinos because the wheels are NOT mechanical! They claim millions of dollars in wins, especially in the United States! I believe I right a wrong by offering to the public at-large the same piece of software — and then some. The original system is much improved. I added a second grand system based on the so-called birthday pardox (probability of coincidences or duplication).August 26, 2009 - The Australian roulette pirates got really scared by the Law! They announce at their website that they decided to stop selling their roulette system and roulette computers. They already sent emails to their customers on the decision to cease selling the pirate version of one of my roulette systems. Guess how the deceived roulette customers will react!
2. Roulette Systems based on Wheel Positioning (Slots, Sectors, Pockets, Wheel Half)
I wrote on July 4, 2000 — Roulette Strategy and Real-Life Casino Testing:I did notice bias, however. It was due to the wear of the roulette wheel. Probably the deflectors of the roulette wheel were worn out. The wheel was malfunctioning, anyhow, I think. We can divide the roulette wheel in two sections based on the last number drawn. There are 38 numbers in double-zero roulette. The last number drawn, plus 9 numbers to its left on the roulette wheel layout, plus 9 numbers to the right on the layout = make up the inside hemisphere of the roulette wheel. The other 19 numbers make-up the outer hemisphere. The next number should be FFG-equally distributed between the two wheel hemispheres. That is, the roulette insiders and roulette outsiders should be FFG-equally distributed. I tracked the spins at a roulette table in Atlantic City. To my (belated) dismay, the ratio was 80% to 20% biased towards the outer hemisphere! Actually, two roulette dealers — a woman and a man — shifted at the table during that continuous run! So, it was not a so-called roulette dealer's signature! It was a malfunctioning of the roulette wheel. It is likely that the casinos have no knowledge of such phenomena.
It happened at a roulette table at Taj Mahal casino, Atlantic City, in July of 2000.
RouletteHemis accurately tracks how the roulette ball jumps from the previous slot. The system does not take into consideration any bias. The roulette wheel is treated as perfect, with no wear-and-tear. The software counts how many positions the roulette ball moved from the previous spin. If a number is a repeat, the ball jumped 0 slots. The counting always starts at zero. The software (and the roulette system) is dependent of the wheel layout. For example, single-zero roulette. The previous spin, or the previous roulette number drawn was 19. The next spin records the roulette number 17. Number 17 is 5 slots from the roulette number 19 — counting counter-clockwise. If the next spin is represented by the roulette number 3, the jump is also 5, but counting clockwise. The software will show the jump equal to 5 in the report. The program always calculates the shortest distance between the current roulette number and the previous spin.
You will see a report on this page. The report is based on single-0 roulette spins recorded at the Hamburg, Germany casino (Spielbank) in January of 2006. You can download the free file HAMB106.WH1 (represents table #1 at Hamburg casino).
The new software divides the roulette wheel into two halves (semicircles or hemispheres or sectors). There are 38 numbers in the double-zero roulette: From 0 to 00. The software treats 00 as number 37. The inner hemisphere consists of the previous slot, plus 9 numbers clockwise, plus 9 numbers counter-clockwise. Total: 19 roulette slots (numbers). The opposite half is treated as the outside (outer) semicircle. If the next roulette number falls in the inside hemisphere, the program displays a minus sign (-). If the next roulette number falls in the outer sector, the program displays a plus (+).
The single-zero roulette wheel has 37 numbers, from 0 to 36. The outside sector of the wheel consists of only 18 numbers. Keep that uneven size in mind when applying this system to the French (Europeans or single-0) roulette. Therefore, the inner hemisphere will show a higher frequency.
The roulette player will apply a gambling system similar to the FFG principles presented in the The Best-Ever Roulette Strategy, Systems based on mathematics of progressions and free-for-all — the p=1/2 section.
There are many interesting things to consider. This piece of software offers some great opportunities. The report column 'Distance In Slots' shows numbers such as: 11, 4, 6, 17, 4, 15, 4, 4, 17… How about looking for a jump of exactly 4 in the near future? Well, then, you have to play only 2 numbers: count 4 slots clockwise and 4 slots counter-clockwise. If the previous roulette number was 36, next spin bet on numbers 23 and 34. You can make a good profit if a slot jump equal to 4 occurs in the next 10 spins! Remember also that any phenomenon tends to repeat more often after a number of trials less than or equal to the FFG median. On the other hand, if one or two jumps have not shown up in a long series of roulette spins, consider betting on them. The jump equal to 0 and the jump equal to 19 will always show lower frequencies. They consist of one number each. Every other jump consists of two numbers (symmetrically located to the left and to the right of the current roulette slot).
This system requires the roulette wheel layout. It is available in every casino…at this time of writing, at least! It seems to be a bit hard to locate the roulette numbers quickly — but only in the beginning. I sped up considerably after a few hours of working with the roulette layouts.
Also, the notorious notebook is a required instrument. You need to keep those accurate reports to the very latest spin. Don't worry about the intimidation factor. The casinos have no legal grounds from prohibiting writing down the roulette spins or anything else. Why don't they stop the journalists from taking notes? Why don't do the casino managers display warnings against writing at the entrance? Because it would be ILLEGAL for the casinos to enforce such restrictions!
3. The Birthday Paradox Applied to Roulette
This is another brainchild of mine that I wanted to keep to myself. But I noticed an interest in others soon after I published my software calculating the birthday paradox and a wide array of cases of probability of collisions (or duplication, or repeats, or coincidences). I received also specific requests on devising roulette strategies based on the birthday paradox. I never get satisfactory terms, it seems. Looks like just about everybody tries first to take me for a ride.Every roulette player knows that the casinos display the last 15 spins at every roulette table. It is an electronic device named marquee. The roulette numbers will be unique and there will be also repeats. You will see some 5 or 6 or 8 consecutive roulette spins consisting of unique numbers only. No repeat from the last 15 spins among those 6 or so consecutive spins. The birthday paradox (or the probability of collisions) calculates that random numbers will repeat within ranges of trials. For example, the probability for 5 consecutive roulette spins with at least one duplicate is 24%. Equivalently, the probability is 76% that 5 consecutive roulette spins will consist of unique numbers only. The probabilities almost reverse when considering 10 consecutive roulette spins. Read this: Google AdSense Advertising, Referrals, Gambling, Mathematics, Math Boyz. So far, I have not seen one single roulette marquee showing a string of 15 unique roulette numbers in 15 consecutive spins. But analyzing 1000 spins at Hamburg Spielbank, I noticed two strings on 10 consecutive unique numbers, one string of 12 consecutive unique roulette numbers.
This system requires an intelligent Martingale. The largest number of unique strings consist of 4, 5, 6, 7 unique roulette numbers. A more rare martingaling would be after 10 consecutive unique numbers: 10, 11, 12.
Minus in the report means 'NO REPEAT' from the previous 15 roulette spins. The plus sign indicates that the respective roulette number was a repeat from the previous spins displayed on the marquee.
This system can be applied without much tracking. Still, recording the spins is of considerable help. You can easily see that shorter unique-only strings are frequent after longer unique strings.
RouletteHemis bases its analyses on two wheel layout files: LAYOUT.0 (single-zero roulette), LAYOUT.00 (double-zero wheel).
If the casinos change the layout, simply edit the corresponding layout file (0 or 00). The layout file consists of a 37x37 (single-zero wheel) matrix or 38x38 matrix for double-zero roulette. Here is the first row and the last row in LAYOUT.0:
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
36 11 30 8 23 10 5 24 16 33 1 20 14 31 9 22 18 29 7 28 12 35 3 26 0 32 15 19 4 21 2 25 17 34 6 27 13
If the two layout files are not present, the software creates them based on the most common roulette wheel layouts. If the specific layout is different from the layout of the roulette game you play, edit the corresponding file (0 or 00). You must always name the files LAYOUT.0 and LAYOUT.00. Rename the original files created by the program to something like LAYOUT0.OLD. Keep them safe, as you might have to play at a roulette table with the current wheel layout.

5. Roulette and The Law of Fundamental Balance
Surely, the kokodrilos (big-time gamblers) noticed a special effect in the report: Homogeneity. The frequencies of the jumps are homogeneous; more accented so than the frequencies of individual roulette numbers.I used Qedit for this statistical purpose. First, I selected the numbers in the column named 'Distance In Slots'. The block selection command is Alt+k. Then, I sort the column (selected block of numbers) with the function key F3. By the way, Qedit is one of most highly configurable and programmable pieces of software.
You can count the frequencies manually or use some sort of programming (including spreadsheet programming). You will notice the homogeneity I referred to. The difference in frequency of the jumps is clearly lower than the discrepancy of the roulette numbers.
It is a reflection of the Law of Fundamental Balance (LFB) ©. One particular jump cavers many roulette numbers — ALL roulette numbers, in a long parpaluck (span of analysis). The distance in slots is calculated clockwise or counter-clockwise — the shortest jump is selected. The procedure offers a good balance in time and space.
Analyzing the roulette spins at Hamburg Spielbank, I concluded that the particular roulette wheel was well balanced. The wheel had no flaws as to create a bias towards certain numbers or sectors. One might say the Hamburg roulette wheel was balanced like the set of wheels of a brand-new Mercedes!
On the other hand, the player knows now that the roulette jumps are homogenous. The player knows that every jump will hit with a close frequency as any other hump. If a particular jump has been idle for too long, play it. Since the balance in frequency is a hard fact, then the previously cold jump will hit more frequently in the next short run. That is in accordance to FFG (Fundamental Formula of Gambling).
A second take is in tall order: Mechanics. There should not be any discrepancy between a mechanical roulette wheel (as in the casinos) and a random number generator (as in roulette software). The bias against an immediate roulette number repeat is less pronounced in random generation of roulette spins. A short explanation: The croupier (dealer) places the roulette ball in the slot that hit last. The probability is lower to have the roulette ball come exactly in the same slot as in the previous spin. We are dealing here with two simultaneous probabilities. If the dealer would place the roulette ball randomly on the wheel, the unfavorable repeat bias would be less present.
00 Roulette Wheel Neighbor Layout
I do not have software to check the balance in other games of chance (e.g. pick-3 lottery games). It might be impossible, since the pick-3 or lotto games do not have fixed configurations (e.g. a table with the same layout). The lottery balls are randomly mixed before they are drawn. The jumps can be determined only at random. I believe that LFB (Law of Fundamental Balnce) would require a very, very long parpaluck to take effect.
