Roulette Payout Chart: A Printable Table of Every Bet and What It Pays

Print this page, fold it once, and it fits in a jacket pocket. The roulette payout chart below covers every standard bet on European and American tables, the winnings on the three chip sizes people use most, and the chance of each bet coming in. Everything on it is exact arithmetic, so it does not go out of date.

The payout chart: European wheel (0 only, 37 pockets)

House edge on every bet: 2.70 %. With La Partage or En Prison, even-money bets: 1.35 %.

The payout chart: American wheel (0 and 00, 38 pockets)

House edge on every bet: 5.26 %, except the five-number bet at 7.89 %.

How to read the chart

“Win” means winnings only. A winning chip is not taken away, so the total coming back to you is the win plus the stake: a C$5 straight-up that hits returns C$175 + C$5 = C$180. At a physical table the dealer places the winnings beside your chip, and the original stays on the layout until you pick it up.

“Chance per spin” is the number of pockets the bet covers divided by the number of pockets on the wheel. On a single-zero wheel a corner covers 4 of 37, so 4 ÷ 37 = 10.81 %.

The two charts show the same payouts with lower chances on the American wheel. That is the double zero at work: one more pocket, no extra pay. If a casino gives you the choice, the first chart is the one you want to be playing from.

The rule behind every payout

You do not need to memorise the “Pays” column. It comes from one line of arithmetic: 36 divided by the numbers covered, minus 1. A six line covers 6 numbers, so 36 ÷ 6 = 6, minus 1 = 5 to 1. A street covers 3, so 36 ÷ 3 = 12, minus 1 = 11 to 1.

The five-number bet is where the rule exposes a bad deal. 36 ÷ 5 = 7.2, minus 1 = 6.2, and the table pays 6. That rounding is why the bet’s edge jumps to 7.89 %. The main roulette odds and payouts page works through the reasoning behind the 36, and the house edge guide shows the expected value for each bet.

Three quick examples from the chart

C$5 on a split, 14 and 17. The ball lands on 17. The split pays 17 to 1, so the win is C$85 and your C$5 stays: C$90 comes back. The ball lands on 15: the chip is gone.

C$25 on the second dozen. Any number from 13 to 24 wins C$50, and your C$25 is returned with it. Zero, or anything from 1 to 12 or 25 to 36, loses the bet.

C$1 on each of the four corners of a block. Corners on 1-2-4-5, 2-3-5-6, 7-8-10-11 and 8-9-11-12 cover the numbers 1 to 12 between them, with some numbers covered twice. A hit on 5 wins two corners at once: C$16 in winnings plus both C$1 chips back, while the other two corner chips lose. The chart works bet by bet, so overlapping bets are simply paid separately.

Payouts are fixed, results are not

A chart can make roulette look tidy. It is not. The chance column shows how often each bet wins over a very long run, and a single session can sit far from it in either direction. A chosen dozen missing ten spins in a row happens about 2 % of the time, and a single number can come up three times in an hour. The payouts never change to make up for a cold run or to cool a hot one.

The cost of play does not change either. On the European chart every bet keeps 2.70 % of what you stake, on average; on the American chart, 5.26 %. A chart printed for the table is a good reminder that the bigger numbers in the “Win” column come with the smaller numbers in the “Chance” column. If you want to see that cost in dollars, our homepage calculator works it out for any bet and number of spins.

Racetrack bets in chips

European and French tables often print a racetrack for call bets. These are bundles of standard bets, so they pay at the rates above. For printing purposes, here is what each one costs in chips:

Voisins, Tiers and Orphelins together cover all 37 pockets. A chip count on the racetrack is useful to know before you call one at a busy table, because the dealer will ask for the full number of chips at once.

When the chart does not apply

Games with multipliers change the inside payouts. Evolution’s Lightning Roulette picks one to five Lucky Numbers each round with multipliers from 50x to 500x, and Pragmatic Play’s Mega Roulette adds Mega Multipliers of 50x to 500x on straight-up bets. Both fund those multipliers by paying a plain straight-up win at less than 35 to 1. Outside bets in these games usually keep the standard rates, but the in-game paytable is the authority. Our guide to multiplier roulette covers how they differ.

French tables keep the chart and change only what happens to even-money bets on a zero. La Partage hands back half the stake; En Prison holds it for one more spin.

If you want to see the chart in action before playing, the practice wheel uses play chips with nothing to pay and nothing to win. When you are ready to play for real, our homepage list shows roulette casinos for your province, scored on single-zero tables and Canadian dollar minimums.

A last practical tip for the printed copy: casinos set a minimum and a maximum per bet type, and the maximum on a straight-up is usually far lower than on red or black. The chart tells you what a bet pays, but only the table placard tells you how much it will take.
