In roulette everything depends on luck. Trying to keep the house edge to a minimum is almost all you can do from a strategic point of view. Casinos often have special rules which directly affect on the edge.
The first special rule is the 'surrender' option. In Roulette, this rule applies to outside bets which pay even money only, such as odd/even, red/black, and high/low. If the balls lands on the 0 or the 00 you only lose half your bet, rather than the whole betting. The house edge considerably depends on this;after all it is the 0 and 00 which account for the high house edge in the first place. Even though the payoffs aren't as great for outside bets,you are improving your odds substantially by finding a table with the ‘surrender' rule.
Rather interesting point is the 0 and 00. It is better that you look for tables with only one 0 - European tables. Primarily found in Europe, these tables offer a much more attractive house edge from the player's point of view. With a European table to play on you are reducing the house edge from 5. 26 percent to 2. 7 percent. Physically European roulette tables are found more often in Europe, but in the ‘online world’ gambling they are just a click away.
