But you don't actually have a 50% chance of winning, your chance is actually 18/37 in French roulette (one number 0 which is neither red or black), or 18/38 in American roulette (0 and 00).

The same organization, Nederlandse Loterij, also owns Staatsloterij, Lotto, Eurojackpot, Miljoenenspel, Lucky Day and Krasloten.
