Roulette is one of the easiest casino games to understand and play. A ball is spun on a wheel and lands in a numbered pocket. The house edge depends entirely on which variant you play: European single-zero, American double-zero, or French with the La Partage rule.
Always play European or French roulette if available. The house edge is half of American roulette.
The La Partage rule on French roulette cuts the even-money bet edge to just 1.35%.
Never play the American First Five bet (0-00-1-2-3). At 7.89%, it is the worst bet on the roulette table.
No combination of bets changes the house edge. Keep it simple.
Set strict win/loss limits. Roulette has moderate volatility and a steady house drain.
