Playing Roulettte

Thursday August 10, 2006
Compared to some of the other casino table games Roulette has one of the highest house edges yet roulette remains one of the most popular casino games. The American Roulette wheel with its double zero has a house edge of 5.26 percent compared to the single zero European wheel with a 2063 house edge.

Many experts advise against playing the game because of the house edge but that doesn't stop players who enjoy playing Roulette. If you enjoy the game there is one thing you can do when you play. Look for a full table. Roulette is more of a social game and more players at the table can add fun to the game. More importantly it slows the game down.

At a full table you will be lucky to get 30 spins per hour. This means that the amount of money you are risking will be smaller than some of the faster games. It won't change the high house edge but it will cut down the time your money is exposed to it.
