How the Roulette Payout Table Works
The roulette payout table maps each bet type to a fixed return ratio set by the rules of the game itself, not by the operator. A straight-up bet covers one number and pays 35 to 1. A split covers two adjacent numbers and pays 17 to 1. Move outward to a corner bet covering four numbers and the return drops to 8
to 1. Outside bets — Dozens, Columns, Red, Black, Odd, Even, High, Low — carry lower ratios because they cover more numbers at once. European roulette uses a single zero, which affects the house edge compared to the American double-zero wheel. Evolution and Pragmatic Play both carry live roulette tables where the payout structure is displayed directly on the betting grid, so
you can verify each ratio mid-session.
