THE ROULETTE MYSTIQUE |
| What do you think of when you read or hear about a classy casino, with characters out of a James Bond thriller at the tables, the gleaming marble, the crystal chandeliers, the elegant women? The answer is always: Roulette. The roulette wheel is the universal symbol of gambling around the world, perhaps due to its uniqueness. Few things are capable of this feat, but Nevada has managed to tap into the market over the years, creating a similar mindset around Baccarat pits and high roller Craps tables. Despite all the hype, the game remains relatively unpopular in America, the land of hardcore game-lovers. It is in the casinos of Europe and other non-North American gambling destinations where Roulette is the king-pin in the casinos. The reason for this is clear. The game is not the same in both countries. A single zero roulette wheel, often referred to as a European wheel, is used more often than not when you are outside North America, and offers a much more attractive house edge. And this is the reason that roulette has failed to achieve the same degree of popularity in America. True, there are single zero wheels in the US, but they are harder to find. The online world features single zero roulette wheels. They are actually the majority of the wheels on the Internet. Many online casinos do offer European wheels, so it's never been easier to cut the house edge of roulette in half. |
