In roulette everything depends on chance. The only thing you can do from a strategic point of view is to try to keep the house edge to a minimum. 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. This affects the house edge considerably; 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. The point of 0 and 00 is interesting enough. You better look for one 0 tables, which are called 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.

Some casinos have special rules. In Prison/En prison In case the ball stops at zero slot, the croupier will not collect red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets, they will stay on the table - in other words they are in prison. In the next spin the players have a chance of winning their original bet back - if their bet wins they will get their original bet back but with no additional win. If the ball should land on zero once again the bets will remain in prison one more spin and so on. As this special rule reduced the casinos edge, it's greatly to the advantage for the players. La Partage When the ball falls on zero, red/black, odd/even and first half/last half bets will not be fully collected by the croupier. The croupier will collect only a half of player's bets and will return the rest to the players. La Partage rule reduces the casinos edge to 1. 35 percent as well as In Prison rule. |
Today most casino odds are set by law, and they have to be either 34 to 1 or 35 to 1. This means that the house pays you or and you keep your original bet.
The house average or house edge (also called the expected value) is the amount the player loses relative to any bet made. If a player bets on a single number in the American game there is a probability of 1/38 that the player wins 35 times, and a 37/38 chance that the player loses.
The presence of the green squares on the roulette wheel and on the table are technically the only house edge. Outside bets always lose when a single or double zero come up. However, the house also has an edge on inside bets because the pay outs are always set at 35 to 1 when you mathematically have a 37 to 1 chance at winning a straight bet on a single number.
The house edge should not be confused with the hold. The hold is the total amount of cash the table changes for chips, minus the chips taken away. The Casino Control Commission in Atlantic City releases a monthly report showing the win/hold amounts. The average win/hold for double zero wheels is 21-30%, more than 5. 26%/2. 70% of all players money because players are making repeated bets after winning and losing portions of their total money. This is known in the casino gaming industry as "churning" and is especially true of slot machine players who statistically end up losing all their wagers.
A player with a certain total amount of money may not win or lose all his money instantly, as the bets they make will often be greater than the total of the money they actually started with. The house edge applies to each bet made and not the total money. That means the player can end up losing significantly more than 5. 26% of his starting money.
Dealer signature is when an experienced dealer spins the roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed and trajectory consistently from spin to spin. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If the number repeats within 100 spins you can turn this to your advantage as this is a biased wheel. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino's advantage. There are special chips for playing the game of Roulette. The chips have to be bought before playing the game. Don’t forget to exchange you Roulette chips for regular casino chips before you leave the Roulette table. Never make 5 number bets as they have the least profitable payback. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. Never play American Roulette as 00 decreases your chances of winning. European Roulette is more in your favor. When playing European Roulette don’t forget about the Surrender option. Never spend more than you have planned to.
