• Roulette is a truly random game. The only thing you can count on is Lady Luck! But when she shows up, you have the possibility to get paid as much as 35 times your money!
• Roulette wheels with only a single zero (0) are better than the ones that also include the double zero (00). Why? Well, because you never win an outside bet if a zero (0) or double zero (00) comes up.
• An option that you might find in Europe is called "En Prison". This rule applies to even money bets only (red/black, odd/even and high/low bets) and works as follows: If the ball stops at zero (0), you will neither lose your bet nor get it returned to you. Instead, the bet will remain on the roulette table for the next spin. If you win the next spin, you will get your money back but win nothing. If you lose, you simply lose your bet. If a zero (0) comes up again, the bet is again "En Prison" and will remain on the table to the following spin. This is a great rule, so keep your eyes open for this one as well!
• In some casinos they offer something they call "Surrender" on red/black, odd/even and high/low bets. What this entails is that if the ball stops on zero (0) or double zero (00), the player only loses half of his/her bet - instead of all of it. As a result, it might be wise to search for casinos that offer "Surrender".
• When it comes to inside bets, the "five number bet" has the worst odds on the roulette table. Therefore, avoid it!
