When determining
your roulette odds you must take certain factors
into account. The most important is whether
the roulette wheel has a double zero slot. Most
roulette wheels in the United States have both
a zero and double zero. Under standard U.S.
roulette rules the house edge is 5.26% for double
zero wheels, except for the 0-00-1-2-3 bet which
has a house edge of 7.89%. |

Single zero
roulette wheels can be commonly found online
and outside of the United State. The odds for
a single number changes from 1/38 to 1/37 on
single zero tables. This drops the house edge
to 2.70%. In standard U.S. casinos these tables
are generally only found in high roller rooms. |

There are several
variations of the "en prison" rule that also
affect the house edge. In Atlantic City all
even money bets follow a variation of this rule.
In the event the ball lands in 0 or 00 the player
will lose only half of any even money bet. This
lowers the house edge to 2.63% on these bets.
This rule does not apply on single zero wheels.
On single zero roulette tables using the European
"en prison" rule the house edge drops to somewhere
between 1.35% and 1.39% for even money bets
depending on the variation of the rule. This
rule does not affect non even money bets. |
