What is Premium European Roulette?

Premium European Roulette is a roulette variant from Playtech with an enhanced graphical interface. It offers all the features a serious player could need such as a racetrack betting area, a history view, statistical analysis, and the ability to save favourite bets.

How to Play Premium European Roulette

Premium European Roulette follows the standard rules of European Roulette. The game is based around a virtual wheel that has 37 slots, the numbers 0 to 36 inclusive. Beneath the virtual wheel, there is a betting area, where players place their bets.

A ball is released within the spinning wheel and the aim of the game is to predict which numbered segment it will come to rest on.

Before a round starts, players set their stake using chips found to the left-hand side of the betting table. The chip sizes include 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. The maximum bet is €100. After setting the stake, players must click on the ‘Spin’ button to get a round started.

The game has a number of features to expand the betting options. The numbers on the wheel are coloured alternating red and black, except for 0, which is green, and the numbers do not run sequentially around the wheel. This means that players can bet on individual numbers or groups of numbers. There are various different types of groups, which will become evident when looking at the bet types below.

Bets are split into Inside Bets and Outside Bets.

Inside Bets

  • A Straight Up Bet – a bet on a single number
  • A Split Bet – a bet on two numbers next to each other on the table.
  • A Street Bet – a bet on a row of three numbers.
  • A Corner or Four Bet – a bet covering four numbers next to each other on the table.
  • A Line Bet – a bet covering two Streets – six different numbers in two rows of three numbers.

Outside Bets

  • A Column Bet – a bet covering an entire horizontal column of twelve numbers.
  • A Dozen Bet – a bet on either the first 12 (1-12), second 12 (13-24) or third 12 (25-36) numbers.
  • A 1-18 (Low) Bet – a bet on the winning number being between 1 and 18.
  • A 19-36 (High) Bet – a bet on the winning number being between 19 and 36.
  • A Red Bet – a bet on the winning number being red.
  • A Black Bet – a bet on the winning number being black.
  • An Even Bet – a bet on the winning number being even.
  • An Odd Bet – a bet on the winning number being odd.

Racetrack Bets

The game offers a racetrack betting area. This has two main purposes. The first is to place neighbour bets. Players simply choose a number to place straight up bets on that number and the two numbers either side of it on the wheel. The second purpose is to place common betting patterns quickly that are made up of a mixture of inside bets. These bets are:

  • Neighbours – a bet on between 3 and 11 numbers. This bet covers the neighbours either side of a selected number.
  • Voisins du Zero – a bet on the “neighbours of zero”. This is a bet on the numbers positioned between 22 and 25 on the roulette wheel.
  • Tiers – a bet on one third of the wheel, the numbers between 27 to 33.
  • Orphelins – a bet that covers the 8 numbers that are not covered by the Voisins du Zero or Tiers bets.

Premium European Roulette Features

Premium European Roulette has various features that benefit players. In addition to the racetrack betting area, as mentioned above, players can also enjoy the following.

History

There is a segment next to the virtual wheel that displays the previous rounds and their outcome, which will be of value to players who enjoy looking for trends in the results.

Coverage

Whenever players are placing their bets on the betting area, a coverage amount can be seen just above the betting area. This is the percentage of the wheel that is covered by the player’s bets. Obviously, the more numbers, the higher percentage and greater chance of winning.

A Basic Strategy for Premium European Roulette

There are many ways that players can improve their chances of winning at Premium European Roulette. The most popular way of doing so is by using a betting system. Most betting systems are suitable for use with even money bets, those that have a roughly 50% chance of winning. This means that the bets that can be placed are black or red, odd or even, or 1-18 or 19-36. As there is a single green 0, there will never be a 50/50 chance of winning these bets and this is what gives the casino its house edge.

Here are a few betting systems that can be used when playing Premium European Roulette.

  • The Martingale – this system involves doubling your bet after each loss in order to eventually recoup your losses and make a profit.
  • The Reverse Martingale – this strategy is also known as the "Paroli" system, and it involves increasing your bet after each win.
  • The Fibonacci - this strategy involves using a specific sequence of numbers to determine your bet, rather than doubling or increasing it by a fixed amount.

To Conclude

If you want to feel like a VIP while enjoying a game of European Roulette, and have all the features you could possibly need just a click away, then Premium European Roulette is the game for you.
