Getting the Lowest Casino Edge at Online Roulette
In terms of House Edge, American Roulette is not one of the best online casino games to play - nor is it the worst. With a 5.26% House Edge on all of the bets at the table, playing online American Roulette for a long period of time is likely to end up putting some strain on one's bankroll.
However, just like any other gambling game, roulette is full of chance. Many roulette players go on lucky streaks, which after they feel they have used up, will walk away from the table with profit in their pocket. They know that with a Casino Edge of 5.6%, a losing streak can be lurking just around the corner.
Smart online roulette players also know that if given the opportunity, one should always stick to playing European Roulette, or, American Roulette with Atlantic City rules. European Roulette does not have the double zero space on the table (as does American Roulette), and offers a feature called en prison that brings down the casinos advantage even more. Without the double zero, European roulette has a House Edge of 2.7% on all bets.
In order to put the en prison rule into effect, a player must make an even money, outside bet. Outside bets are Red/Black, Odd/Even, 1-18/19-36, columns and dozens bets. If the single zero is hit when a player makes this bet, en prison goes into effect. What it does is that it "imprisons" a players bet and requires it to remain on the board for the next spin (to be played out according to standard rules). Therefore, no money is lost, thereby cutting the House Edge in half for the "imprisoned" bet (1.35%). This now becomes one of the best bets in the House. And thanks to the accessibility of the internet, European Roulette is widely available to gamblers seeking to take advantage of the lower House Edge.
In regards to particular roulette systems, players are advised to use caution. For instance, one particular roulette system urges players to make bets in a manner so that the wheel is uniformly covered. In other words, if you were to divide the roulette wheel into four equal quadrants, bets on 1, 2, 31 and 31 would place a bet in each of these quadrants, thus equally covering the entire wheel. While this may seem to make sense to a new roulette player or to someone who does not understand mathematical probability, however, there is actually no mathematical basis for this system, since every number has an equal chance of coming up on the wheel.
