Roulette Variations

[Alicia Mitchell]

One of the casino games that is enjoyed live and on the Internet all
over the world is Roulette. You may have seen the game with its long
numbered table and spinning wheel and wondered if you would like to
get in on the action. If you do, you should be aware that to generate
interest in roulette, the European game has undergone some changes.
In Traditional European Roulette, there is a field of 36 numbers, 18
red and 18 black, as well as a Zero. You can bet an individual number,
two numbers, three numbers, four numbers, five numbers, six numbers,
or twelve numbers with a single bet (you can bet as many numbers as
you like with multiple bets). You can also bet whether the first half
of the numbers will hit or the second half, whether the number will be
odd or even, red or black, whether it will come in the first, second
or third part of the board, or whether it will come in the first,
second, or third column..
To generate interest, some casinos have instituted one of two rules
which had fallen out of favor and can be to the player's advantage to
know about and utilize. Tables with these rules are often called
"French Roulette" tables and have a special layout with bets labeled
in French. In this form of Roulette, the player may have the option of
"La Partage." La Partage applies only to even money bets, such as Odd
vs Even, Red vs Black, or 1-18 vs 19-36. If the spin comes up Zero,
which would normally be a loss for these bets, La Partage allows you
to take half of your bet back. This is similar to the "Surrender"
option once offered in Blackjack, although in this case, since there
is a clear loss, you would always take La Partage.
A more interesting rule that can save you money is the "En Prison"
rule. In this variation, when your even money bet lands on Zero, you
have the option either to surrender half your bet as in La Partage, or
let your bet ride, keeping it "in prison" for another spin. If you
make your wager this time, you get your full bet returned to you. If
not, you lose your entire bet. Clearly En Prison is a more favorable
rule, since it affords you the chance to try to keep your entire bet,
if you so choose, but your casino will not always offer this option.
When should you play French Roulette as opposed to the Traditional
European version? Always! The La Partage and En Prison rules
considerably reduce the house's edge against you, which should be your
main concern when playing any casino game against the house. With the
wide variety of casinos on the Internet, you should always find and
take advantage of the ones that provide the most favorable rules for
your game of choice. Do your research and you will be rewarded with a
more fun and hopefully more profitable experience.
