Roulette is the third most popular casino game in the world, after slots and video poker.
Why is this so popular? It’s fun, exciting, easy to play, and has a certain charm attached to it, thanks to James Bond!
The fact that the way to play is very easy makes many players just play roulette without thinking about how to maximize their winning potential.
Roulette Tip 1: Play European Roulette
The best roulette wheel to play is the European wheel as it reduces the casino profit to an acceptable 2.63%.
The American version with an additional 00 almost doubles the house advantage, so stick to the European wheel.
Roulette Tip 2: Best Bet
Another advantage at European tables is the prison rule on even bets.
When the number 0 appears, your bet remains, (caught), for the next spin. If you win on the next spin, you are not paid for that win, but you are allowed to take back your original bet; so you only lose half your bet. The House edge on even money bets with the jail rule and single zero is now reduced to 1.35% making it the best bet on the table.
Talking about the best bets let’s take a look at the worst bets in roulette – Five number bets 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 blast which is 5.26% out of the house with a 7.89% advantage to the casino, so avoid this one!
Generally, stick to lower odds bets, and avoid single number bets. Playing red or black gives you a 50% chance of winning minus the house edge. This is an attractive bet because it keeps you in the game longer, has respectable odds, and allows you to maximize your bankroll.
Roulette Tip 3: Don’t Get Emotional!
Don’t get emotional when you play. Remember that roulette is a game of pure chance, so make sure you set your preferred money BEFORE, and when it’s lost, you leave the game.
Roulette is very emotional and exciting, so it’s easy to spend those chips quickly, without even thinking about it!
Also, don’t get angry or frustrated if you lose Roulette is a fun game, making money is a bonus.
Roulette Tip 4: Don’t Trust a Fire System for Sure
You will see roulette systems on the internet being offered for just a few dollars which guarantees you consistent big profits. Yes, right! If so, keep in mind the vendor won’t sell it! They will keep the system to themselves and make millions or more!
Roulette is a game of chance, so forget the system that definitely exists.
Roulette Tip 5: Why Are You Playing?
Of all our roulette tips, this is the first one we ask players to consider.
You need to ask yourself, is your main goal in gambling, making money or having fun?

Blackjack is not as exciting, or as fun as roulette, but you will have the opportunity to make more money!
Roulette is fun, exciting, and with the tips above, you can put a few odds in your favor.
