Master the game of roulette at PHJOY – What gamer must know

Roulette, often dubbed the “King of Casino Games,” is a captivating blend of pure chance and thrilling anticipation, characterized by the mesmerizing spin of the wheel and the dramatic drop of the ball. At PHJOY, we offer a comprehensive guide to understanding the game’s mechanics and strategic betting options. Join us to experience the unique suspense of the spinning wheel and discover the premier live dealer variants available on our state-of-the-art platform.

Understanding the basics of roulette

Before placing a single chip, understanding the structure of the wheel and the primary variations available is essential. This knowledge forms the foundation of all subsequent betting decisions.

The three main types of roulette

The primary difference among variants lies in the number of zero pockets, which directly impacts the house edge and, therefore, your long-term odds. The three main types of this game are:

• European: Features 37 numbers (1-36, plus a single 0). This is the most player-favorable version, with a low house edge of approximately .
• French: Also features a single 0, but often includes favorable “La Partage” or “En Prison” rules. These rules essentially return half of an even-money bet when the ball lands on zero, further reducing the house edge to around 1.35%.
• American: Features 38 numbers (1-36, plus a single 0 and a double 00). The addition of the 00 significantly raises the house edge to approximately 5.26%.

At PHJOY, we recommend focusing on European and French version for the best long-term winning potential.

Inside and outside bets – Decoding the table

The betting layout is categorized into two main groups, offering diverse payout structures and probabilities. Understanding the difference is key to developing a balanced strategy.

• Inside bets: Placed on specific numbers or small groups of adjacent numbers on the inner grid. These offer high payouts but low probability. Examples include betting on a single number (Straight Up, 35:1) or a corner of four numbers (Corner, 8:1).
• Outside bets: Placed on large groups of numbers on the outer edge of the table. These offer low payouts (usually 1:1 or 2:1) but high probability, making them the staple of most strategic systems. Examples include Red/Black, Odd/Even, and High/Low (1-18/19-36).

Here is a summary of the most common European version bets and their payouts:
