Roulette Strategy & Rules

Roulette Basic Strategy

When comes to roulette, there is basically no strategy.  But, if you're going to play, European roulette is the way to go.  The difference being, in American roulette, the wheel has 38 slots with "0" and "00".  The European version has 37 slots with only "0". Follow these tips to give you the best chance of winning:

   
Wager on low-odds and even-money bets as they offer the lowest house advantage when playing roulette
Only play at casinos that offer European roulette.  With that extra zero in American roulette, the house has a 5.3% advantage where as with European roulette, the house has a 2.7% advantage
We recommend that you only play roulette for brief periods of time
Don't bet on the five-spot or top line (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) on American roulette
Set a specific target amount of money to play roulette with.  Once you lose it, quit.  Roulette should be played for its entertainment value

Roulette History

Roulette is French for "small wheel".  It is a little unclear but it is believed that roulette first originated in England in the late 1700's.  The roulette table layout is virtually the same since it was first designed by Blanc brothers who operated the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino.  Roulette has always attracted a sophisticated player and is one of the most recognizable symbols in gambling.
