European Roulette
The game
American Roulette at CASINO CLUB is called European Roulette.
Usually American Roulette has a double zero, but not at CASINO CLUB! It has a single zero, which is an advantage for the player, because when the wheel stops on the single zero, players loose only half of their even-money bets. In all other rules, European Roulette at CASINO CLUB follows standard "Las Vegas Strip" rules.
An ivory ball circles in the rotating roulette wheel that consists of 36 numbers plus 0. Eventually, the ball stops randomly on one of the 37 numbers. Each player wagers against the bank, independently from other game participants. The winnings will be based on the type of bets placed and the ball’s final resting-place.
The multi-player European Roulette game at CASINO CLUB offers the following features:
- Up to 4 players can join the same game and chat with each other.
- You can select a table to play alone, or select the players you'd like to join you.
- You can select a table with the desired bet limits: 1 - 1,000 euros, 5 - 5,000 euros, 10 - 10,000 euros.
- You can select the maximum betting time (30, 45, or 90 seconds) when you open a new table.
- You can observe a game without joining.

Betting
There are 8 different types of roulette bets. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution, as shown in the Winnings Table.
Inside bets:
Straight up
A chip can be wagered on any individual number, including zero (0). The chip is placed directly on the individual number.
Split bet
A chip can be wagered on any two adjacent numbers, by placing the chip on the line dividing the two numbers. Note that a chip can also be placed on the line between 0 and 1, 2 and 0, or 0 and 3.
Street bet
Street bets cover three numbers. Place the chip on the outer left boundary line of the roulette table, next to the corresponding row of numbers. CASINO CLUB also offers you the option to bet on 0, 1, 2 and 0, 2, 3.
Corner bet
Corner bets cover four numbers. Place the chip on the cross where the four numbers intersect. You may also bet on 0, 1, 2, 3 by placing the chip on the outer right boundary line of the roulette table between 0 and 3.
Six-number line bet
A line bet covers two street bets, i.e. the six different numbers in two rows of three numbers. For example: 4, 5, 6 + 7, 8, 9. Place the chip where the boundary line of the roulette table and the line dividing the two number rows intersect.
Outside Bets:
Column bet
On the short side of the roulette table are three boxes marked "2 to 1". By placing your chip in one of these boxes, you bet on all twelve numbers above it (excluding 0).
Dozen (group) bet
You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12" (1 to 12), "2nd 12" (13 to 24), or "3rd 12" (25 to 36).
Red/Black, EVEN/ODD, Low/High (1 to 18/19 to 36)

Winnings table
| Chip covers | Term | Pays |
|---|---|---|
| 1 number | Straight Up | 35 to 1 |
| 2 numbers | Split Bet | 17 to 1 |
| 3 numbers | Street Bet | 11 to 1 |
| 4 numbers | Corner Bet | 8 to 1 |
| 6 numbers | Line Bet | 5 to 1 |
| 12 numbers | Dozen Bet or Column Bet | 2 to 1 |
| 18 numbers | Red/Black, Even/Odd or Low/High Bets | 1 to 1 |
When zero (0) is the winning number, all even money bets, i.e. Rouge/Noir (red/black), Pair/Impair (even/odd) and Manque/Passe (1 - 18/19 - 36) loose half of their value. They are shared with the bank.
Chip colour
Up to four players can sit at a multi-player table. Each player has chips of a unique colour. Your chips are always displayed on top of all other players' chips.
Allotted betting time
European Roulette in the multi-player version is played in real time. This means that you will have a certain amount of time in which to place your bets before the wheel starts spinning. A clock in the game window displays the remaining time to place bets. The time allotted for bets may differ from table to table, but it remains the same during different rounds at the same table. As long as the highlighted colour is green, you can place bets without restrictions. When the colour changes to yellow, you can still place bets, but you must hurry, as you have only a few seconds left for your bets. When the clock turns black, the dealer says, "No more bets, please" and the wheel begins to spin.
Private tables
If you wish to play alone, please feel free to select a private table.
“Chat” and “Options”
After you sit down a roulette table, the GAME tab for bets opens automatically. Above this tab are CHAT and OPTIONS.
CHAT allows you to chat with other players at the table. If you have turned off the sound, CHAT will show you what the dealer says. Whenever something is said at the table, CHAT flashes red.
OPTIONS works only if you have selected a private table. If you would like to speed up the game, you can select the “turbo mode.”
Disconnection
Disconnections may occur from time to time, but CASINO CLUB is prepared for such an event. If you are disconnected during a game in progress, you will be notified upon re-entering the casino that you have an unfinished game and you will be asked whether you wish to DISCARD or RESTORE the game. We strongly advise you to RESTORE your game in order to return to the table to finish the spin. If you choose DISCARD, you will lose your wager.
