In the early eighteenth century, Hoca was played in casinos across Europe. The game
evolved to include a spinning wheel with numbered slots and a numbered table.
In European Roulette, the wheel is spun counter-clockwise and then a ball is spun
clockwise around the wheel. Eventually, the ball drops into one of the wheel’s
numbered slots. Players place bets on the numbered table in an attempt to determine
which number or color the ball will land on.
European Roulette has 37 numbered slots, labeled from 0 to 36 in non-sequential
order.
Let’s Play!
To play European Roulette:
Place a chip on an area or areas of the betting table until you reached the
amount you wish to bet. The wheel is spun counter-clockwise, and the ball is
spun clockwise. As the wheel slows down, the ball drops into one of the
numbered slots. If you placed a bet on either the number or the color, you win.
Bet Types
There are multiple types of bets that can be placed simultaneously when playing
European Roulette. They are categorized as either Inside or Outside bets. With
each spin of the wheel, you can place multiple bets.
