Without an adept knowledge on the rules used in roulette and the house advantage, playing and winning the game would prove to be an impossible feat.Roulette partly owes its world-wide popularity to its existing rules and to its house advantage.

The Rule on House Advantage:

What does it mean to use the ‘house advantage’ rule?In the context of the game roulette, house means the casino, thus, when you say house advantage, it only refers to the edge that the casino has over every individual playing the game.You’ll soon come to understand that the house advantage seems a little unfair to players, but how else are casinos suppose to raise money to stay in business?So why not see this from the positive side and focus on improving your knowledge of other roulette rules and winning strategies?

In order to have a better understanding of what house advantage is, you can use this fact: The house advantage differs for the single zero roulette table (European) and the double zero roulette table (American), 2. 7% and 5.26 %, respectively, with the latter having a 7.9% house advantage when having a five number bet on 0-00-1-2-3.If there is a house advantage, players are given less than the usual number of chips, usually one or two less.It is just like paying commissions.

The ’En Prison’

En Prison, also called in prison, is one of the many rules that the game roulette has.Not all casinos incorporate this rule and you can only use this on an even-money bet.What happens in an En prison Rule is players are allowed to get their bet back and place the bet for another spin if the ball roll results to zero.In the second case, if the following spin the outcome is again zero, then the whole bet is lost.

The ‘La Partage’ Rule:

La Partage rule is very similar with En Prison rule but only differ in terms of the bet since the former still gets half of the bet even if the ball roll is zero and the player has no option of taking half of the remaining money back because it is expected to be placed as a bet on the next round.When the roulette wheel spin turn out is zero and when there is an ‘outside’ even money bet on high/low, odd/even, red/black, the la partage rule can be used.

Both the En Prsion and La Partage roulette rules are quite a catch among players since it minimizes the house advantage through making the payouts for ‘even-money bets’ into half.This means when a bet on Red is placed on an European (single-zero) roulette table, the house advantage is cut down to 1.35% if they allow either or both of these rules (En Prison and La Partage rules) to run the game.
