The European version of online Roulette is a very popular online game amongst the online gamblers. The idea behind the game is to guess the number on the Roulette wheel where the ball will fall after the spinning stops. The bets should be placed on the table on any number which the player thinks will be the winning number. After placing the bets the ball is dropped on the spinning wheel from the opposite direction. If the ball stops on the player’s desired number then he is entitled to a payout on the bet. The type of bet placed affects the payout form.
The possibility of making a huge winning sum out of just a little amount of money is huge. The player can begin his game by placing a little amount and he might end up with more money than he imagined.

The red numbers are from 1-18 and the black numbers are 19-36. The player can choose any columns to place a bet on. The player can really win big if he guesses the correct number. The house edge for European Roulette is around 2.7%.

The amount of payout is inversely proportional to the numbers on which the bets are placed, that is the more the wagered numbers the lower the payout. Whereas if the player places a bet on a single number then the payout on winning would be 35 times the initial bet.
After the players have placed their single or multiple bets the white ball is rolled on the spinning wheel. The wheel and the white ball spin in the opposite directions. Then after spinning for some time the ball will stop in a pocket of the wheel and depending on the number the eligibility of the player for a payout is decided and declared.
The en prison is a rule that is played in the game. This rule comes into action when the player has placed a bet (single or group) for even money such as red, black, odd, even etc. If the ball lands on the slot for 0 then the player is entitled to a half the bet amount. When the number is 0 then the player can also be offered imprisonment in which the player will face the risk of losing the bet for a second time. But if the player wins then he will be released and will get the entire bet money but without any extra winnings.
The game of European Roulette is really easy to play. There is no specific beginning or ending to the game. A player can play any number of games from one to hundred.
