So what exactly does the ‘house advantage’ stand for? Well, in roulette, the word ‘house’ is used to describe the casino and the ‘house advantage’ simply means the advantage the house/casino has over every single player who plays roulette there despite of how good the roulette strategy is. You’ll soon come to understand that the house advantage seems a little unfair to players even with the best roulette strategy, 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 a winning roulette strategy?
To gain a good understanding of the house advantage where you can apply a roulette strategy, here are some figures to help you: On a single zero (European) roulette table the House advantage is 2.7% while on a double zero (American) roulette table it is 5.26% (and 7.9% on the five-number bet, 0-00-1-2-3). The House advantage is gained by paying the winners who might have used an effective roulette strategy a chip or two (or a proportion of it) less than what it should have been if there was no advantage. More like paying commissions really.
