We've seen triple-zero roulette here in Vegas but here is a nice change the other direction -- Roulette 73. This looks simply like single-zero roulette with 72 other numbers, instead of 36. That will lower the house edge on every bet to 1.37%. I'll make a page for it shortly.

The question for the poll is would you play Roulette 73?

To answer the person who wanted to know if Rainbow Roulette was still at the Golden Gate, it is, located in the back.

This is one of the easiest games I've ever analyzed. Please check out my new page on Roulette 73.

Is there any pattern to how the numbers are ordered on this wheel ?

I like how the payout is the same as normal roulette times two plus one. I wouldn't play it though, unless there was a juicy advantage on it.

What was he rambling on about towards the end when he was placing chips all over the layout? It seems like he was saying something about if you want to bet a certain quadrant, then you bet like this....although Idk if that's what he was saying ornah.

I think it was about how the dealer can calculate the wins. One a four one basis, assuming the same number of numbers are covered, you just double the win on a "for one" basis.

It's just like single 0. Going Clockwise: 0, red 32 red 68 (32+36), black 15, black 51 (15+36), red 19, red 55 (19+36) etc.

With that house edge, I'd definitely give it a shot.

I don't know that I would but just because I feel that I "graduated" from Roulette years ago. I'd look for it if I wanted to try it, and would surely look for it if I wanted to work a team grinding out comps.

My question would be why would the casino put in such a low-edge game these days? They seem to want 4-5% and up in edge to make a reasonable ROI.

This is in Europe where single-zero roulette is the norm. I suspect they were trying to be competitive.

Thanks didn’t see that. Is the casino market that much more competitive there than here or are the players just more sharp?

Roulette is big in Europe and everybody is used to single zero. I'm not sure if that roulette 73 was trying to offer a better value or just be something different. I've played in European casinos lots of times and find the caliber of blackjack play to be worse than here.
