European Roulette is a popular version of online roulette featuring the classic Roulette wheel with 37 pockets. The difference between this version of Roulette and other variants is that the wheel has a single zero pocket. More so, the game has a lower house edge of 2.7% when compared to other Roulette games. Other versions of online Roulette include the following:
- American Roulette
- French Roulette
- Premier Roulette
How to Play European Roulette
Like all table games online, this variant is straightforward and easy to follow. Of course, this depends on the software provider. The table is laid out exactly like standard Roulette, with Inside bets and Outside bets set out for NZ players to choose from. However, online European Roulette will use a Random Number Generator to release the ball into the wheel. This ensures that wherever the ball lands is completely random.
