What is the payout for zero in roulette?
The zero in roulette typically pays 35 to 1 when betting on a single number, same as other individual numbers. However, the presence of zero gives the house its edge in European roulette, while American roulette has both single and double zero, increasing the house advantage.
How does zero affect roulette odds?
In European roulette with one zero, the house edge is 2.7%. When zero appears, all outside bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low) lose, which is how the casino maintains its mathematical advantage over players in the long run.
Are there special rules for zero?
Some European casinos offer “en prison“ or “la partage“ rules that can partially protect even-money bets when zero hits, but these variations are not commonly found in most online and land-based casinos today. |
