In the European roulette it is possible to place 10 types of bets. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each type has its own payoff rate.
A betting layout allows to place bets on one or more numbers at a time. Numbers are arranged in 12 rows and three columns, at the top of the number field is the zero. Bets placed in this numbered space or on the lines between numbers are called inside bets.
Another five bets are made on the special boxes below and to the center of the board and are called outside bets.
The distribution of numbers on the European roulette wheel gives players opportunity to make Announces or Call bets during the game.
Variations of bets are illustrated and explained in the roulette table layout below. The letters in the blue circles correspond to the letters used in the Example. Bets A to E are called "inside bets". Bets F to J are called "outside bets".
