Still huge House odds, but better for the person who loves Roulette.

You mean they didn't have one already? MGM and
other Strip casinos have had them for years. They
get little play because of the $25 minimum, or even
higher on weekends.

An improvement, but still not quite European roulette, which has the en prison rule for even money wagers. This cuts the house pc to a reasonable 1.35%. Have never seen or heard of this game being offered in any Nevada casino, but sure wish it was. Euro roulette with the en prison rule and a low minimum bet, of say $10 or even $5, would be a game that I would seriously consider playing.

Thanks for the headsup, missed it, am a bit out of touch. $100 min bet in the high limit section is too rich for me, even $25 at the three clubs mentioned is still a bit out of reach unless I am having a very good trip. In the meantime, back to $5 and $10 crap games and trying to find a decent 21 game with good rules and minimums.

Read the blog.

Caesars HAS had them, but tucked away in the high limit area. These new games are on the main floor. Although they didn't specify, that generally means lower minimums.

Maybe they put one in the Pussycat Dolls pit. Yeah, right. That one probably has 6 zeros on it.

There is a conflict in terminology between that article and my sites. What they call "European roulette" I call single-zero roulette. What I call "European roulette" is single-zero roulette with the half-back rule if the ball lands in zero. Caesars has not followed that rule since I started keeping track. It would be very unlike them to.

A few days ago, I had a discussion with the pit crew at this very roulette table. Upon asking them about "en prison" they had no clue what I was talking about. They had no concept at all about what roulette (as opposed to American roulette) even was, and the most basic questions about roulette left them befuddled. This was in the high limit room.

Cosmo has a single zero roulette wheel as well. I believe they are both Huxley wheels.

Archie Karas plays every day on a Huxley wheel at the M that is double zero. Well, this is what the dealer at this wheel told me. He said that Archie curses him out every day about how he spins the wheel and that he doesn't want to hear sounds of the ball and who knows what..(??)

I have no earthly idea why anyone trying to professionally play roulette would be on a double-zero huxley wheel when there are at least two single zero huxley roulette wheels that I know of in town (Cosmo and Caesar's).

The only thing I can think about is if you're not doing $100 or more. But the dealer at the M says Archie sometimes does $100 per number, and sometimes does table minimums. He said it made no sense to him.

If I *had* to play double zero to get a lower limit, I would at least hit up a really old wheel (not a modern huxley) at a $0.25 table somewhere off the beaten path.
