European Roulette Glossary
41 terms covering First Person Roulette's 37-pocket single-zero European wheel, French bets via the Racetrack, Statistics Panel, Go Live transition, and 35:1 payouts.
Autoplay
First Person Roulette doesn't ship a fixed Autoplay loop the way slots do, but Normal vs Fast Mode lets you blast through ~100 rounds per hour by skipping the full ball animation. Combined with Favourite Bets, that effectively automates repetitive sessions while keeping you in control of each spin's chip placement.
Base Game
Regular play before Go Live activates. First Person Roulette runs as an RNG Table Game — 37 pockets, single-player 3D rendering, 97.30% RTP. Low volatility means smooth bankroll swings; outside bets hit 48.65% with steady returns.
Bonus Buy (Feature Buy)
First Person Roulette is a table game — no Bonus Buy mechanic. The closest equivalent is the Go Live button, transitioning you instantly to a real Evolution live dealer European Roulette table at no extra cost. Your bet history and Favourite Bets transfer over.
Cascading Reels (Tumble)
First Person Roulette doesn't use cascades — it's a roulette wheel, not a slot. The ball spins, lands in one of 37 pockets, payouts resolve immediately. Single-event resolution per spin with no symbol drops or chain reactions.
Cluster Pays
First Person Roulette doesn't use cluster pays — it's a European Roulette table game. Wins resolve through 10 bet types (Straight Up, Split, Street, Corner, Line, Dozen, Column, Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low) plus French bets via the Racetrack.
Column Bet
Bet on one of three vertical columns of 12 numbers each (1-4-7-...-34, 2-5-8-...-35, 3-6-9-...-36). Pays 2:1, covers 12 numbers (32.43% hit rate). Mid-tier bet for clustered chip placement.
Corner Bet
Bet placed on a four-number square corner intersection. Pays 8:1, covers 4 numbers (10.81% hit rate). Higher payout than line bets, lower coverage than dozens. Useful for tight chip clusters around favoured number groups.
Dozen Bet
Bet on one of three groups of 12 consecutive numbers (1-12, 13-24, or 25-36). Pays 2:1, covers 12 numbers (32.43% hit rate). Combine two dozens to cover 24/37 numbers (~65%) with effective 1:2 payout — low-variance balanced strategy.
En Prison / La Partage
European roulette half-back rules: if you bet on even-money and the ball lands on 0, La Partage returns half your stake instantly; En Prison "imprisons" the bet for one more spin (wins or fully loses). First Person Roulette typically uses standard European rules — these variants depend on operator. When active, even-money house edge drops from 2.70% to 1.35%.
Even Money Bets
First Person Roulette's safest wager category: Red/Black, Odd/Even, High (19-36)/Low (1-18). Pays 1:1, covers 18 numbers (48.65% hit rate). House edge 2.70%. The single zero pushes probability slightly toward the house. Foundation of long-session bankroll-preservation play.
Favourite Bets
First Person Roulette's saved-bet feature. Store any combination of chips you regularly play (e.g. "Voisins + Red + Number 17") and reload it in one tap. Saved patterns transfer to Go Live — set up combinations in RNG mode, deploy them at a live dealer table without re-clicking.
Five Bet
First Person Roulette doesn't offer the Five Bet — that's exclusive to American Roulette wheels which have both 0 and 00. The European wheel has only the single zero (37 pockets total), so the 0-00-1-2-3 combination is mathematically impossible here.
Free Spins
First Person Roulette doesn't use Free Spins — it's a roulette table game, not a slot. The closest equivalent is the Fast Mode toggle, which skips the full ball animation so you can play more rounds per hour at the same stake level.
French Bets (Call Bets)
First Person Roulette's wheel-position bets accessed via the Racetrack interface. Voisins du Zero covers 17 numbers around the green pocket. Tiers du Cylindre covers 12 numbers across the wheel. Orphelins covers 8 leftover numbers. Plus Neighbour bets 1-9 wide around any chosen pocket. These bets follow the physical wheel order, not the numerical board layout.
Hit Frequency
First Person Roulette's win-event rate varies by bet type. Outside bets (Red/Black etc): 48.65%. Dozens/Columns: 32.43%. Corner: 10.81%. Street: 8.11%. Straight Up: 2.70%. The 37-pocket wheel determines all probabilities — no game variance beyond bet selection.
Hot & Cold Numbers
First Person Roulette's Statistics Panel tracks recently-hot (frequently-hit) and cold (infrequent) numbers, plus colour streaks, dozens frequency, and odd/even splits. Hot/cold tracking has no predictive value — every spin is independent — but useful for pattern visualization and entertainment.
House Edge
First Person Roulette's mathematical advantage to the casino. 2.70% on all standard bets — half of American Roulette's 5.26%. The single zero pocket is the entire structural difference. House edge is fixed by wheel design; no strategy reduces it. Bankroll management is the only variable players control.
Line Bet (Six-Line)
Bet on two adjacent rows of three numbers (six total). Pays 5:1, covers 6 numbers (16.22% hit rate). Sits between corner (4 numbers) and column (12 numbers) in coverage. Mid-tier risk/reward bet.
Max Win
First Person Roulette's top single-spin payout is 35:1 (Straight Up) (Straight Up bet on the winning number). At $5,000 max stake, that's $175,000 + your $5,000 back. Probability per spin: 1 in 37 (2.70%). No multiplier or bonus path raises the cap.
Megaways
First Person Roulette doesn't use Megaways. Megaways is a Big Time Gaming licensed slot mechanic with up to 117,649 ways to win. Roulette is a table game with 10 fixed bet types on a 37-pocket wheel — completely different math model.
Multiplier
First Person Roulette doesn't use multipliers in the slot sense. Payout ratios (35:1, 17:1, 11:1 etc.) act as the "multiplier" structure — they multiply your stake by fixed amounts on winning bets. Lightning Roulette (separate Evolution variant) does use multipliers up to 500x, but standard First Person Roulette stays with fixed payout ratios.
Neighbour Bets
First Person Roulette's configurable wheel-position bet via Racetrack. Pick any number and bet on it plus its 1-9 physical wheel neighbours. A "3-neighbour" bet on number 17 covers 17 and the 3 numbers on each side (7 numbers total). Useful for targeting wheel sectors rather than numerical groups.
Orphelins
One of three French bets accessible via Racetrack. Covers 8 "orphan" numbers (1, 6, 9, 14, 17, 20, 31, 34) — the numbers not included in Voisins du Zero or Tiers du Cylindre. Wheel-position bet, not a numerical pattern.
Outside Bets
First Person Roulette's collection of even-money bets and dozens/columns covering large number groups. Includes Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low (all 1:1, 18 numbers) and Dozens/Columns (2:1, 12 numbers). Lowest variance, highest hit frequency. Core bankroll-preservation wager type.
Pockets
First Person Roulette's wheel has 37 numbered pockets: 1-36 alternating red/black, plus a single 0 in green. European wheel pocket sequence differs from American — 0 sits between 26 and 32, with no 00. This affects Neighbour bet patterns and French bet coverage.
Racetrack
First Person Roulette's alternate betting interface mirroring the wheel's physical pocket order (not the numerical 1-36 board layout). One-click placement for Voisins du Zero, Tiers du Cylindre, Orphelins, and Neighbour bets 1-9 wide. Essential for French betting strategies.
RNG (Random Number Generator)
First Person Roulette's outcome engine. Evolution uses eCOGRA/GLI-certified RNGs — independently audited cryptographic algorithms. Each spin is mathematically independent. Hot/cold patterns visible in the Statistics Panel are visual coincidences, not predictive signals.
RTP (Return to Player)
First Person Roulette returns 97.30% on all standard bets — half of American Roulette's lower 94.74%. RTP is the inverse of house edge — 97.30% RTP means a 2.70% house edge. This is the highest-RTP variant of standard roulette; only En Prison/La Partage rules (when enabled) push even-money RTP higher to ~98.65%.
Scatter
First Person Roulette doesn't use scatters — it's a roulette game, not a slot. No bonus triggers, no scatter-counting feature activations. The Statistics Panel shows hot/cold pockets but those don't function as scatters or triggers.
Session Variance
First Person Roulette's outcome spread depends almost entirely on bet selection. Pure outside-bet sessions: 200 spins return 65-130% of wager. Pure Straight Up sessions: 200 spins return 0-300% of wager with binary swing patterns. Mixed strategies sit between. House edge stays 2.70% regardless of bet choice.
Split Bet
Bet on the line between two adjacent numbers, covering both. Pays 17:1, covers 2 numbers (5.41% hit rate). Step up from Straight Up — doubles your hit rate at half the payout. Useful for bridging two favoured single numbers.
Statistics Panel
First Person Roulette's data dashboard. Shows hot/cold numbers, colour streaks, dozens frequency, odd/even splits, and recent spin history. Data has no predictive value (each spin is independent) but useful for pattern recognition and entertainment.
Sticky Wild
First Person Roulette doesn't use Sticky Wilds — it's a roulette table game without wild symbol mechanics. The closest persistence feature is Favourite Bets, which saves your chip configuration to reload in subsequent rounds.
Straight Up Bet
First Person Roulette's highest-payout single-number wager. Place chips directly on one number (0 or 1-36). Pays 35:1, covers 1 number (2.70% hit rate). Highest variance, lowest hit frequency. The classic "all-in on a number" bet.
Street Bet
Bet placed at the end of a row of three numbers. Pays 11:1, covers 3 numbers (8.11% hit rate). Triple your coverage versus Straight Up while keeping a respectable payout ratio.
Tiers du Cylindre
One of three French bets accessible via Racetrack. Covers 12 numbers across the wheel directly opposite Voisins du Zero (5-8-10-11-13-16-23-24-27-30-33-36). Wheel-position bet covering one-third of the wheel.
Voisins du Zero
One of three French bets accessible via Racetrack. Covers 17 numbers around the green zero pocket (22-18-29-7-28-12-35-3-26-0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25). Wheel-position bet — uses physical wheel layout, not numerical order. Most popular French bet.
Volatility (Variance)
First Person Roulette is rated Low — variance scales with bet selection. Pure outside-bet play feels low-variance with steady small wins. Pure Straight Up play feels high-variance with rare 35:1 spikes. Mixed strategies determine where you land. The 37-pocket wheel keeps overall house edge at 2.70%.
Ways to Win
First Person Roulette doesn't use ways-to-win. Roulette resolves through bet-type payouts on a single ball-and-wheel outcome. Ways-to-win is a slot mechanic where matching symbols on adjacent reels form wins regardless of payline — irrelevant to table games.
Wild
First Person Roulette doesn't use wild symbols — it's a roulette table game without symbol-substitution mechanics. The closest concept is the green zero pocket (0), which acts as the house's reservation against even-money bets but isn't a "wild" in any slot sense.
