European Roulette is the game American Roulette is based on with the only difference being European Roulette only has one 0. The 00 is not available in this game.
The wheel is spun and the ball is dropped onto a wheel containing 37 numbers from 0 - 36. The wheel is started spinning and the ball is dropped spinning in the opposite direction. Eventually the ball drops into one of the slots on the wheel. The numbers are placed around the wheel and alternate in even and odd and are assigned a color of red or black except the 0 which is always green.
The table grid is laid out so that there are three columns, each column holding 12 numbers or if you prefer 12 rows, each row holding 3 numbers. The 0 is placed at the top of the rows/columns. One bet or many can be placed on just one number or many different combinations. Bets placed in the numbered part of the grid is called an inside bet.
The outside framework of the grid consists of side bets that can be placed, such as even or odd, black or red and called an outside bet. The object of the game is to place a bet on a number, combination of numbers, color or situation that you predict the ball will land on.
