Roulette is a casino game of chance and also,  your play does not depend on the other players’ play. You can do very little to have bigger chances of winning, because there is no winning strategy. Instead you should try to minimize the house edge. If you do not know how to do that, read and remember about the information below. 1. First, you should look for the ‘surrender’ option. But this is different to the Blackjack rule with the same name. In Roulette, this rule is only for the outside bets which are odd/even, red/black, and high/low. If the ball lands on the 0 or the 00 you only lose half your bet, not the whole sum of money. That changes the house edge because it is 0 and 00 that make up for the high house edge. Of course, you will not win such great amounts of money for outside bets as for other bets, but you have greater chances if you find a table with the ‘surrender’ rule. 2. Let’s return to 0 and 00 because they are quite interesting.

        There are two kinds of tables, European with 0 and American with 0 and 00. What is important is that you should look only for European tables because they have smaller house edge (only 2.7%, while American tables have 5.26% because of this extra 00). Generally, you will find European tables in Europe, but not only there. These tables offer a much more attractive house edge for players because they minimize it from 5.26% to 2.7%. If you want to know more about numbers, read our Roulette Probabilities page. It is true that you will find European roulette tables on the continent, but you may also find them at online casinos. Always try to remember about that second rule because it will help you to be more successful and financially satisfied. 3. The third rule you should know about is called ‘En Prison.’ This is when the ball lands on 0 and deals only with even-money outside bets. In this situation, you do not lose at that time, but your bet stays on the board and is said to be ‘in prison.’ The next spin decides about that bet. If you win, you get your money back, but you do not get any extra winnings. If you lose, the casino takes your money and if you have 0 once again, the bet stays ‘in prison.’

       It is true that many people talk about strategies or systems in Roulette, but Roulette is a game of chance and there is no point in any strategy. Remember about that when you hear about any system; even if the number 16 has not come up in the last 7,000 spins, the chances that this time 22 will come up are the same as all the rest of the numbers. That is a fact and you must not forget about that. Additionally, the best Roulette strategy is simple mathematics. Never play American Roulette because it’s wheel has the extra 00. this zero only makes the house edge bigger. If you have a choice, always choose European Roulette. Look for special rules that are good for players such as ‘surrender’ and ‘en prison.’ And finally, be ready and play wisely. Have fun!
