The layout usually is the same as the American one, only with one Zero (0). Sometimes it is a little different.

Most of the time, you find a single zero Roulette wheel with two layouts for making your bets. You find one croupier (dealer) who spins the wheel and two croupiers on each side of the layouts.

These two croupiers on each side check the layouts and help you with placing your bets.

Tips For Roulette On European Roulette Checks

European Roulette uses the same color of checks for every player. The croupiers should have a great memory to remember which bet belongs to which player. It can cause confusion.

You find all kind of checks at the table, regular (round) checks, oval checks, rectangular checks.

The croupiers use a rake or stick, to clean losing checks from the table and for making payoffs. You also find three to four croupiers attending a single layout, a table.

Also the checks are not stacked, in twenties, like American Roulette. They are in racks on the table. Usually, you buy your playing checks at the casino cage (caissier).

There is seating for 12 to 16 players at the table
