Roulette Payout Chart: Odds, House Edge & Bet Payouts

Roulette payouts determine how much you win and how often you lose. While roulette is a game of chance, understanding payouts, odds, and house edge helps players choose smarter bets and manage risk.

Every roulette bet follows the same rule: bets that cover fewer numbers pay more, while bets that cover more numbers pay less. The most important factor affecting your odds is the type of roulette wheel you are playing on.

European roulette uses a single zero (0), while American roulette uses both a single zero (0) and a double zero (00). That extra zero nearly doubles the casino’s advantage.

Online casinos at https://online-casinosbe.com/ offer the convenience of playing from home with a wide range of roulette options. Players can find both European and American roulette games, along with tips on how to choose the right and safe online casino. Exploring various online platforms helps players find the best odds, enjoy secure gambling experiences, and maximize their chances of winning.

Players looking to compare roulette odds to other casino games can explore our Blackjack Strategy Guides to see how decision-based games differ from pure chance games.

Roulette Payout Chart

This chart shows standard roulette bets, their payouts, and the probability of winning on both European and American wheels.

While payout tables show what you can win, understanding the mathematical probability of each bet is equally important. For a deeper dive into the house edge and hit frequencies, you can check these roulette odds to better inform your betting strategy.

What is the payout for a single number in roulette?

The payout for a Straight Up bet (one specific number) is 35 to 1. This means for every $1 bet, you win $35, plus you keep your original $1 stake.

Roulette House Edge Explained

The house edge is the mathematical advantage the casino holds over players. It exists because roulette payouts are slightly lower than the true odds of winning.

---

European Roulette House Edge

European roulette has 37 numbers (1–36 plus a single zero).

• True odds of hitting one number: 1 in 37
• Casino payout: 35 to 1
• House edge: 2.70%

This house edge is consistent across nearly all bets on a European wheel.

---

American Roulette House Edge

American roulette has 38 numbers (1–36 plus 0 and 00).

• True odds of hitting one number: 1 in 38
• Casino payout: 35 to 1
• House edge: 5.26%

The extra zero increases losing outcomes without improving payouts, nearly doubling the house edge.

Key takeaway: When given a choice, always play European roulette.

Inside vs Outside Roulette Bets

Roulette bets fall into two main categories based on where chips are placed on the table.

Inside Bets

Inside bets are placed directly on the numbered grid. These bets offer higher payouts but lower chances of winning.

Common inside bets include straight up, split, street, corner, and double street bets. If you're new to these terms, our Casino Lingo Dictionary explains every bet type used on the floor.

---

Outside Bets

Outside bets are placed on the larger groupings around the table layout. These bets cover more numbers and win more often but pay less.

Even-money bets such as red/black, odd/even, and high/low offer close to 50/50 odds. Dozen and column bets pay 2 to 1 and win roughly one-third of the time.
