European Roulette at 33bd — Place Your Bets on the Single-Zero Wheel
One ball, 37 slots, and a wide range of betting options — European Roulette combines strategy and chance. At 33bd you will find both digital and live dealer versions.
How a Round Works
The European Roulette wheel has 37 pockets numbered 0 to 36. The zero is green; the remaining numbers 1 to 36 alternate between red and black. The dealer or software announces the start of each round before closing the betting window — that is your time to place bets.
Once the betting window closes, the ball is released in the direction opposite to the wheel's spin. When the ball slows down and settles into a pocket, that number is announced as the winner. Players who bet on that number, or on its corresponding colour, odd/even, or range, are paid; everyone else loses their bet.
Unlike American Roulette, there is no 00 here — that is the most important difference in the European version. A single zero means the casino's advantage is comparatively lower.
Types of Bets and Payouts
Bets in European Roulette are broadly divided into two categories — inside bets (on the numbered section of the table) and outside bets (on the larger groups outside). Here is a quick overview of the main bets:
| Bet Name | Description | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Straight-Up | Full bet on a single number | 35:1 |
| Split | On the line between two adjacent numbers | 17:1 |
| Street | Three numbers in a single row | 11:1 |
| Corner | Covering the corner where four numbers meet | 8:1 |
| Line | Six numbers across two rows | 5:1 |
| Dozen | 1–12, 13–24, or 25–36 | 2:1 |
| Column | Any one of three columns | 2:1 |
| Red / Black | 18 numbers by colour | 1:1 |
| Odd / Even | Even or Odd numbers | 1:1 |
| Low / High | 1–18 or 19–36 | 1:1 |
* If 0 lands, all outside bets lose, though at some tables the "La Partage" rule returns half of any outside bet.
What the House Edge Actually Is and Why It Matters
The house edge in European Roulette is around 2.7% — meaning that over the long run, for every ৳100 bet, on average about ৳2.70 goes in the casino's favour. That is roughly half the house edge of American Roulette (about 5.26%), because American Roulette has an extra 00 pocket.
The house edge is the same across all bets — whether it is a straight-up or a red/black bet. However, at tables with the "En Prison" or "La Partage" rule, the house edge on Even-Money bets drops to around 1.35%, the lowest in roulette. Changing the type of bet does not change the overall math of losses, but it does change the level of risk and the size of a potential win.
Joining the 33bd VIP programme gives you weekly cashback, which brings the effective house edge down a little further over time.
Basic Tips for New Players
- 1 Start with small bets and try to understand how the wheel moves. Rather than memorising numbers, get familiar with the betting layout first.
- 2 Outside bets (red/black, odd/even) have a higher chance of winning, even though the payout is lower. They are a good starting point for new players.
- 3 The Martingale method (doubling your bet after every loss) may look attractive, but a few consecutive losses can push your bets up quickly — set a limit for yourself.
- 4 Each round is independent. Previous results do not affect the next one — there is no such thing as a "hot number" or a "cold number".
- 5 Decide at the start of a session how much you are willing to spend. Take a break when you reach that limit. Responsible gaming habits keep the experience enjoyable over time.
- 6 Choose tables with the "La Partage" or "En Prison" option — if 0 lands, you get half your Even-Money bet back.
Popular Betting Systems
Martingale
Double your bet after every loss. One win recovers all previous losses. High risk — keep the table limit and your balance in mind.
High RiskFibonacci
Increase and decrease bets following the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…). Bets grow more slowly than with Martingale, making it comparatively safer.
Medium RiskD'Alembert
Decrease your bet by one unit after a win, increase by one unit after a loss. A gradual balancing strategy — suitable for longer sessions.
Low Risk
Live Dealer vs Digital Roulette
Two types of European Roulette are available at 33bd. In several live dealer studios including PP Live, a real dealer spins the wheel — you can watch via video stream, use the chat, and the experience feels close to a real casino.
Live Dealer
- Real wheel and dealer
- Live chat interaction
- Various table limits
- Premium studio experience
Digital Roulette
- Fast rounds
- Play at your own pace
- Works on slower internet
- Ideal for practice
Live tables generally have a fixed betting window — usually 15–30 seconds — so you need to decide quickly. With the digital version, there is no rush.
