Single-zero (European) wheel — every bet carries a 2.70% house edge. Zero loses all outside bets.
Practice European roulette free. Bet on single numbers, colors, odd/even, dozens, or columns, then spin the single-zero wheel and see how the odds play out.
Rules
Place chips on the numbers (0–36) or the outside bets before the spin. The ball lands on one number and every bet is settled against it.
Inside bet: a straight-up bet on one number pays 35:1. Outside bets cover many numbers for smaller payouts.
Even-money bets — Red/Black, Odd/Even, and 1-18/19-36 — pay 1:1. Dozens (1-12, 13-24, 25-36) and Columns pay 2:1.
The single green 0 loses every outside bet, which is where the house gets its edge. This European wheel has one zero (American wheels add a 00).
Strategy
There is no strategy that beats roulette — every bet on a single-zero wheel has the same 2.70% house edge, so no bet is 'smarter' than another.
Choose the European (single-zero) wheel over American (double-zero); the American 00 doubles the edge to 5.26%.
Even-money bets bust slowest (near-coin-flip odds), while straight-up numbers are high-variance; pick based on the swings you want, not on 'due' numbers.
Past spins don't affect future spins — betting systems like Martingale don't change the edge, so set a budget and play for fun.

It's the perfect way to get a feel for the wheel and the payouts with nothing at stake. Because roulette is a game of pure chance, practicing here is really about seeing the odds in action — how often red comes up, how streaky single numbers are, and why the green zero matters.

Roulette: frequently asked questions
How do you play roulette?
Place chips on the numbers or the outside bets (red/black, odd/even, dozens, columns), then spin. The ball lands on one number from 0 to 36 and every bet is paid or lost against it.
What are the roulette payouts?
A straight-up single number pays 35:1. Columns and dozens pay 2:1, and the even-money bets — red/black, odd/even, and 1-18/19-36 — pay 1:1.
Is there a strategy to win at roulette?
No. On a single-zero wheel every bet has the same 2.70% house edge, and each spin is independent, so no bet or betting system gives you an advantage. The best 'strategy' is simply to play the European (single-zero) wheel rather than the American double-zero one.
What's the difference between European and American roulette?
European roulette has one green zero (2.70% house edge); American roulette adds a second green 00, which doubles the edge to 5.26%. This table is European.
