Becoming a knowledgeable roulette player

There really are four types of roulette games. The most common game found in the U.S. is the zero and double zero wheel with 36 numbers, it is called the American Wheel. The single zero wheel, which also has 36 numbers, is known as a French wheel and is found in a few American locations but is the prominent game in Europe. The double zero wheel has a fixed house edge of 5.26 percent. The French game with only one zero reduces the house advantage to only 2.7 percent, which means it’s a much better game for the player. Other types of roulette games are those that offer “surrender”. What happens here is for those players who bet on the outside even-money spots, if a zero shows up, only half their wager is lost. This option can be found in Atlantic City. The last type, found in most European casinos, is similar to the surrender option, and is called “En-Prison”. Again, for those players who bet on the outside, even-money, spots if a zero shows up the wager is held, “en-prison”, until the next spin. On the next spin of the wheel if the player wins, the bet is returned to the player. If the bet loses the entire wager is lost. Surrender further reduces the house edge to 2.63 percent and the en-prison option results in only 1.35 percent for the house, making it an attractive wager.
