Roulette Payout Calculator

Straight up (1 number): 35:1. Split (2 numbers): 17:1. Street (3 numbers): 11:1. Corner (4 numbers): 8:1. Six line (6 numbers): 5:1. Dozen or column (12 numbers): 2:1. Red/black, odd/even, or high/low (18 numbers): 1:1. These payouts are standard across virtually all casinos.

American wheels have 38 pockets (1-36 plus 0 and 00), while European wheels have 37 (1-36 plus a single 0). The extra 00 pocket gives American roulette a higher house edge (5.26%) than European roulette (2.70%), even though the bet payouts themselves are identical.

Because the payout odds don't fully match the true odds against winning for any bet — the house's mathematical edge comes entirely from the 0 (and 00) pockets, which apply equally regardless of which bet type you choose. This is why, unlike many other casino games, no roulette bet is mathematically 'better' than another on the same wheel.

No — that unique 5-number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) only exists on American wheels and pays 6:1, with a notably higher house edge (7.89%) than every other bet. It's excluded here since it isn't available on European wheels and is generally considered the worst bet on the table.

EV = (win probability × profit) − (loss probability × stake). Every standard roulette bet has a negative EV equal to −(stake × house edge) — for example, a $10 bet on an American wheel has an EV of about −$0.53, meaning you'd expect to lose about 5.26 cents per dollar bet on average over many spins.
