What Happens in Roulette if It Lands on 0?

In the game of roulette, the 0 is considered a neutral number. This means that if the ball lands on 0, no one wins or loses.

PRO TIP:If the roulette ball lands on 0, the player’s bet is not lost, but rather is ‘imprisoned’ for one more spin. If the next spin of the wheel results in a win, then the bet will be returned to the player; however, if it results in a loss, then the bet is forfeited.

The only exception to this rule is if you have bet on the 0 specifically. In this case, you would be paid out at 35 to 1 odds.
