In European roulette, the probability of hitting a specific number is 1 in 37, or approximately 2.7%. This is because the roulette wheel has 37 total slots: 36 numbered slots and one zero. Therefore, when you place a bet on a single number, you have a 1 in 37 chance of that number being the outcome when the ball comes to rest, reflecting the basic principles of probability in this game.

That's correct! In European roulette, the presence of a single zero on the wheel causes each number to have an equal probability of 1 in 37 of being hit when you place a bet on a specific number. This fundamental probability concept plays a key role in determining your chances of winning in roulette. It's important for players to understand the odds associated with each type of bet they place in order to make informed decisions while playing the game.
