Single Zero Roulette House Advantage

That means a single zero as well as the double zero along with the numbers. American version has house advantage to the Casino. Most of the roulette tables in USA are double zero wheels, though one might find single zero roulette too. The winning odds in the double zero wheel decreases to some extent and therefore not a good deal for the players.

The single zero (in a European roulette) and the double zero (in an American roulette) can be a source of frustration for some roulette players. However, this animosity can definitely be eradicated if they know about the game’s special rule – the Surrender Rule.

This rule, despite its popularity among expert roulette players, is rarely found. Needless to say, if you look hard enough, you’d still be able to find casinos, both online and offline, which accommodate such special rule.

The surrender rule is basically a player’s friend as it works largely on his favour by making it possible for some or even all of his money return to his bankroll. The only condition for this to happen is that the ball should land on either the single zero or the double zero.

This further means that the special rule has a significant effect on the house advantage which is now either greatly reduced or obliterated altogether.

Still, players should note that the rule applies only on even money bets, which are basically outside bets which pay even money. These bets are Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low, Dozens, and Column.

The rule comes in three distinct variations, and depending on the region as well as the wheel being used, the terms may apply differently.

En Prison

This rule is typically applied on French roulette wheels. This roulette game supposed to have the least casino edge out of the three popular versions. The others are European and American variants. With the En Prison taking effect, the house advantage is further reduced from 2.7% to a whopping 1.35%. This means the chance for the player to win and make profit is further increased.

The rule works in this way: suppose the player makes an even-money outside bet and the single zero comes out. He will choose between losing 50% of his bet or let his entire wager be “imprisoned” for the next spin. In the latter’s case, the bet is basically held hostage by the dealer. If the bet wins he’ll get it back. Otherwise, the house forfeits the amount.

Le Partage

This special rule, which is quite popular here in the UK, shares some similarities with the En Prison rule. To better explain the mechanics, imagine this scenario: the player once again makes an even-money outside bet. A single zero comes out. The bet, which is supposed to be a losing one, will be divided into two: 50% will be recovered by the player, the remaining 50% goes to the house.

While there’s no chance for the player to fully redeem his bet, he still at least gets half of this losing money. Most experts would swear more on this rule because it provides both the player and the dealer a better deal.

Surrender

American roulette game is a roulette game like no other. It has the highest casino advantage of 5.26% thanks to the single zero and the double zero. What’s more, it has its own special rule: the Surrender.

The said rule pretty much works like the Le Partage in which the winning number should either be “0” or the “00.” The only thing that differs here is that the rule exclusively applies only to American roulette games.

These rules do not necessarily make it possible for the player to beat the game. However, with the significant reduction of house edge, it does help the player get a better shot at having an enjoyable and profitable roulette game session.

After playing a lot of single zero roulette here in Cambodia, I think I can beat the game.
Can anyone advise where/if single zero is available in the U.S.A.?
The thought of playing 'American Roulette' with both a single and double '0' disgust me. It must be the highest 'house advantage' game on the casino floor.
Thank you.

Yeah, there is a couple in Vegas, most notably Venetian and Mandalay Bay. Not sure about other casinos.
They are quite commonly found in HL areas.
Good luck in beating the game, you are going to need it!!! :)

Thanks for both of you. I looked at the WOV section which has a list for Las Vegas. Just wanting to update my thinking. I wouldn't really want to play in a high limit 'area' due to the higher level of security and showmanship etc.. Just a simply single zero wheel will suit me fine and dandy. The streaks in the single zero game are a sight to behold. I wish I had taken a photograph.

MGM Grand has it on the main floor. Be careful though, because they also have double zero out there. The single zero wheel is near the pit with all the S17 blackjack, across from the craps tables. About half way between high limit slots and the 'whiskey down' bar / high limit area.
I have no idea what the minimums are like. Probably very high at night on a Friday or Saturday, especially after a major event at the grand garden arena. More reasonable during the week or during the day.
Your comment that you think you can beat the game is worrisome. You cannot.

MGM and Aria have $25 min single 0 with European rules during off peak hours. It is $50 or even $100 when it is really busy. The single zero at Venetian and Palazzo do not offer European rules, it is just a wheel with one zero. Each has a single table with a $25 min.

Had you seen the results in Nagaworld, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the last two weeks you would not say that. The game runs in streaks and you have to have the courage to jump on them. It's simple really. Don't play scared or with scared money

Gambler's fallacy at it's finest.
Didn't you recently say in another thread that you were a recovering gambling addict? This is not good....

Yes, your memory is correct. While I can guess your point, that each spin isn't related to the last one, the same as we often say about rolling dice, when a person sees an unbelievable sequence of events his mind starts to wonder if it is in fact a matter of 'fact' that these streaks happen and frequently in a particular game and set of rules etc.. They even sped up the their spinning of the wheel's in an attempt to get this stuff stopped to no avail. With the wheel racing around at unbelievable speed and enough clatter as the ball fell could not get the stuff to cease. In addition, I might add, there was once an accidental rake of a wager which caused surveillance to be called and the game delayed. Nothing they tried worked, streak after streak after streak. And, I was the only one who noticed and wagerd on same. The Asian's are strictly numbers players some placing chips on each and every number including zero. A remarkable sight, the same amount, on each number, for one spin, by not just one player but several! Have you ever even imagined such a sight in a live cash real money game?
