How Much Does a Color Bet Pay in Roulette?

In Roulette, players can bet on either a single number, or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. There is also a special bet called the “en prison” rule which is only offered at some casinos.

If the ball lands on zero, then any bets on even money bets (such as red/black or odd/even) are “imprisoned” until the next spin. If the next spin is also a zero, then the player loses half of their bet.

The payouts for each type of bet are different. A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1. A two-number bet pays 17 to 1. A three-number bet pays 11 to 1.

PRO TIP:Betting on a single color in Roulette pays out at 1:1 odds. While this may not be the highest payout, it is one of the easiest bets to make and has a higher chance of success than a single number bet.

A four-number bet pays 8 to 1. A six-number bet pays 5 to 1. A column bet (betting on 12 numbers in one of the three columns on the Roulette table) pays 2 to 1. Finally, a bet on red or black pays 1 to 1.

The “en prison” rule mentioned earlier is not offered at all casinos, and when it is offered, not all players take advantage of it. Therefore, it is hard to say how much this rule affects the payouts for even money bets.

However, if you are playing at a casino that offers this rule and you choose to take advantage of it, then it can significantly increase your chances of winning on even money bets.
