The odds of hitting green in roulette are pretty low, but their winnings make it worth the shot. Depending on what variation of the game you’re playing, payouts are either 35 to 1 or 17 to 1. In the European version, players only have a single zero or green to bet on. If it hits, the payout is 35 to 1. In American roulette, there is the single zero and double zero that players can bet on. If you bet on one of them, and it hits, that’s a 35 to 1 payout, but if you bet on both, and they hit, that’s 17 to 1.
