European roulette payout refers to the amount of money a player receives for a winning bet in European roulette. The payout is determined by the odds of the bet winning. For example, a straight-up bet on a single number has a payout of 35 to 1. This means if you bet $1 and win, you get $35 in winnings plus your original $1 bet back, for a total of $36.
A split bet on two numbers has a payout of 17 to 1. A street bet on three numbers pays 11 to 1. A corner bet on four numbers pays 8 to 1. A line bet on six numbers pays 5 to 1. Outside bets have lower payouts but higher odds of winning. A dozen bet (1-12, 13-24, or 25-36) or a column bet pays 2 to 1. Even-money bets, like red/black, odd/even, or high/low, pay 1 to 1.
The key difference in European roulette payout compared to American roulette is the presence of only a single zero. This gives the house a lower edge of 2.70%, which is better for the player. Understanding the payout structure is essential for effective bankroll management and strategy. |
