Roulette
Roulette is the third most popular casino game worldwide, after slots and video poker.
Why is it so popular? Well it is fun, exciting, easy to play, and has certain glamour attached to it, thanks to James Bond!
The fact that it is so simple to play means that many players just play roulette without thinking about how to maximize their winning potential.
The best roulette wheel to play is the European wheel as it reduces the casino advantage to an acceptable 2.63%.
The American version with an extra 00 almost doubles the house advantage, so stick with the European wheel.Another advantage on the European table is the en prison rule on even-money bets.

When the 0 comes up, your bet remains, (is captured), for the next spin. If you win on the next spin, you aren't paid for the win, but you are allowed to take your original bet back; so you only lose half your bet. The House edge on even money bets with the en prison rule and single zero is now reduced to 1.35% making it the best bet on the table.
Talking of best bets lets look at the worst bet in roulette - The five number bet of 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 blasts that 5.26% out of the house with an edge of 7.89% to the casino, so avoid this one!
Generally, stick to the bets with lower odds, and avoid single number bets. Playing red or black gives you a chance of winning 50% of the time minus the house edge. This is an attractive bet as it keeps you in the game longer, has respectable odds and allows you to maximize your bankroll.
