Roulette Strategy

Find a European Roulette Wheel

The European roulette wheel is by in large more user-friendly than its American counterpart, the reason for this is that the European wheel has only 37 numbers., whereas the American wheel includes a double zero. This is a huge division between the two. The double zero space was added as a means to maximize the house's advantage. This advantage still exists today but only on American roulette wheels. With 38 spaces it gives the house a 5.26 % advantage. If you are playing a European style, single-zero wheel with 37 spaces, then the houses edge decreases considerably to 2.70 %. That's a 2.56 % increase in the player's advantage over the house. So, if you ever play roulette, make sure it's on a European wheel as the odds are a lot more heavily stacked in your favour thus increasing your winning potential.

 

Find American Roulette Games That Offer Surrender

A few online casinos give users the opportunity to play a roulette variant that includes the ‘surrender’ rule, which applies to the outside bets that are even money wagers (high or low, red or black, odd or even). When the surrender rule is in place, and you happen to land on either zero or double zero (depending on wheel), you only lose half of your bet. This improves your overall odds ten fold when making outside, even money bets. Surrender can decrease the house's edge down to mere 2.63 % on American wheels. That's a vast and clear improvement on 5.26 % so if you only have the option of American when using your online casino make sure they offer  the ‘surrender’ rule.

 

Find European Roulette Games That Offer En Prison

En Prison is offered when playing the majority European roulette games. En prison is similar to surrender. Instead of losing your chips when the ball lands on zero, your wager is put en prison (in prison). Your money is subsequently left on the table and it takes an additional spin to decide whether you win the imprisoned cash or lose it to the house. If your next bet loses, the money is gone. If the bet wins, you get to keep both winnings. En prison lowers the already low European wheel house advantage to a mere 1.35 %. This is the lowest house edge you'll find at any roulette wheel in any online casino worldwide, so if you are lucky enough to find one that has uses the en prison rule, be sure to have a go as your winning potential is greatly in your favour.

Roulette is essentially a game based on luck so doesn't require a lot of strategy or skill. However it is in your best interest to find an online roulette provider that offers a lower house advantage than its competitors. Remember no strategy can increase the odds of this random chance game so it doesn’t really have any bearing as to how you play the game.

 

Good Luck using this basic roulette strategy! Hopefully it will bring you a big win!
