Roulette wheel and table layout types: a comprehensive guide

• European roulette: numbers 1 to 36 plus a single zero, making 37 pockets.
• American roulette: 1 to 36 plus 0 and 00, making 38 pockets. The extra pocket raises the house edge.
• French roulette: the single-zero wheel, often with la partage or en prison rules that return part of an even-money bet when zero lands.

The numbers sit in a grid of three columns and twelve rows, with the zero or zeros at the top. Around the grid are the outside bets: dozens, columns, red or black, odd or even, and 1 to 18 or 19 to 36.

• Straight up (one number): 35 to 1.
• Split (two numbers): 17 to 1.
• Street (three numbers): 11 to 1.
• Corner (four numbers): 8 to 1.
• Six line (six numbers): 5 to 1.

• Dozens and columns (twelve numbers): 2 to 1.
• Red or black, odd or even, low or high: 1 to 1.

Zero is a losing number on every bet unless you bet on it directly or the table uses French rules. The payouts stay the same on a double-zero wheel while the odds get worse, so check which wheel a Goexch table uses before you play.
