Online Roulette

Although not quite as popular in the U.S. as it is in Europe,  has a strong following both

online and in land-based casinos. Gamblers have been trying to "crack the code" of for as long as it has been

around. Numerous gambling systems and secret strategies have sprouted up in this quest, which no

player should ever buy into. The fact of the matter is that  does not return a good

chance of winning. Compared to some of the other bets in the casino that return a low House Edge,  is something of a Wheel of

Chance. The best bets on the table are the even money bets, which payout 1:1. These consist of the

these is small, although the American version returns the highest Casinos Edge of the three.

As mentioned, European  offers a lower House Edge

than the American version. This is because there are only 37 slots on the wheel, as opposed to 38.

American offers the

numbers 1-36, 0 and 00. European  does not offer the 00.

European  also offers

the "en prison" rule, which returns half of one’s Red/Black, Odd/Even or High/Low bet if the

ball lands on zero, or imprisons the bet on the table for another spin (player’s choice). If it wins the

second time around, the bet is returned without winnings. A similar rule is "la partage", which

does not give players the option of imprisoning their bet for a second chance. It simply gives half the even

money wager back if the ball lands on zero. Both of these rules help lower the Casino Edge and should

be looked for when playing
