Roulette: Strategy and Payouts

Roulette is a game of luck with no betting system that will decrease the House Advantage. You can increase your chances of winning by doing the following:

• If you have a choice between American and European tables always choose the European table. (Some online casinos offer both.)
• Always avoid a Five Number bet on an American table.
• Take advantage of the Surrender and En Prison rules if they are available by placing even money bets.
