Is European roulette available on apps? Yes, in several forms

European roulette is the single-zero version of the game: a wheel numbered 1 to 36 plus one green zero, 37 pockets in all. It's widely made for online casinos. The live casino developer Evolution offers Live European Roulette (opens in a new tab) in standard and VIP versions, and single-zero wheels also sit under several of its newer formats.

For UK app players that's good news, because the single zero keeps the house edge at 2.70%, against 5.26% on an American double-zero wheel. Our full guide to European roulette on mobile covers the rules; this page focuses on finding the game in an app and telling it apart from other versions.

You'll find more short answers like this in our casino app questions section, including which roulette game gives the best value on an app.

How to tell European roulette from American on a phone

Game names aren't always clear, so look at the wheel and the betting layout. The quickest test is to count the green pockets.

On a small screen, the zero area at the top of the betting grid is the giveaway: one box means single zero; two boxes, or a box marked 00, means American. The game's help screen should also say how many zeros the wheel has.

European roulette versions you can find in UK apps

Single-zero maths appears under several brand names. Here are the versions whose developers confirm a single-zero or European wheel on their own pages.

The multiplier games change the payouts on straight-up bets, so they aren't plain European roulette even though the wheel is single zero. Lightning Roulette on mobile explains that trade-off, and Auto Roulette (opens in a new tab) shows Evolution's dealer-free version, which also comes in French and American forms.

RNG (computer-generated) single-zero games exist too. Under the Commission's RTS 7 standard (opens in a new tab), a simulated wheel must have the same theoretical probabilities as the real device it copies, so an RNG European wheel should behave like a physical one with 37 pockets.

European roulette in the Coral, Ladbrokes and PlayOJO apps

The App Store listing for the Coral Casino app mentions blackjack, roulette and Live Casino, and the Ladbrokes Casino app listing mentions roulette and live casino including game shows. The PlayOJO app lists table games and live casino. None of them publishes which roulette variants are in its lobby, so we can't confirm a specific European table in any of them.

That's easy to check yourself once you're signed in. The app's search and its live casino section are the places to look; our pages on the Coral live casino app and Ladbrokes live casino app set out what each operator publishes.

How to find a European roulette table in a casino app

1. Open the casino app and go to its roulette or live casino section.
2. Search for "European" or "French"; French tables are single zero too.
3. Open a table and look at the zero area of the betting grid: one zero means single zero.
4. Open the help screen and confirm the wheel type, payouts and RTP or house edge.
5. Check the table's minimum and maximum bets before joining.
6. For a live table, make sure your connection is steady before you bet.

If the only roulette you can find in an app is a double-zero table, weigh that up: a single-zero wheel costs about half as much per bet. Don't settle for American roulette just because it's first in the list.

European roulette odds and payouts on mobile

Every standard bet on a single-zero wheel carries the same 2.70% edge. The payout changes with how many numbers you cover; the chance of winning changes to match.

A worked example: a £2 straight-up bet wins £70 once in 37 spins on average and loses £2 the other 36 times. That's £70 won against £72 lost over 37 spins, an average loss of about 5.4p per spin, or 2.70%. Wizard of Odds' roulette basics (opens in a new tab) sets out the same payouts. Our guide to roulette bets on a phone screen shows where each one sits on the layout.

Why European roulette is the one to look for in an app

American roulette pays exactly the same odds on a wheel with an extra pocket. Wizard of Odds puts American roulette at 5.26% (opens in a new tab), nearly double the European figure. Evolution says its own American Roulette also has lower betting limits than its other roulette games.

• 100 spins at £1 on European roulette: £100 staked, expected loss £2.70.
• 100 spins at £1 on American roulette: £100 staked, expected loss £5.26.
• 100 spins at £1 on the American top line: expected loss £7.89.

Those are averages; any session can land well above or below them. But choosing the single-zero wheel is the one decision that reliably cuts the cost of play. Our roulette app guide covers the rest of the game, and the house edge by game page puts roulette alongside other table games.

Playing European roulette on a small screen

The betting grid is the hardest part of roulette on a phone. Inside bets like splits and corners sit on narrow lines, so zooming or turning the phone sideways can help with accurate chip placement; see our guide to landscape vs portrait mode. Check the bet slip before the timer ends.

Live European tables stream video for the whole session, which uses more data than an RNG game. If your connection drops mid-round, our answer on what happens if your app crashes mid-game explains how unfinished bets are usually handled and where to check. A stable Wi-Fi connection helps for long live sessions.

UK rules that apply to European roulette in apps

• Each game cycle in a non-slot casino game must last at least 5 seconds, since 17 January 2025.
• Autoplay is banned for all online casino games, so every spin needs a deliberate bet.
• Your net spend and the time you've played must be shown in real time.
• The £5 and £2 online stake limits cover slots only, not roulette.
• You must be verified as 18+ before depositing or playing, including in free-to-play versions.

Our page on game speed rules gives the detail and dates. If roulette starts to feel less like entertainment, set a deposit limit in your app or take a break.
