The house edge in a single zero roulette game is 2.7%. You go, Cromwell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHow did we know more triple zero games would make their way to Las Vegas casinos? Another excellent question!<\/p>\n
We knew because players at Venetian’s triple zero roulette table (see below) didn’t care at all about the less favorable odds.<\/p>\nTriple zero roulette tables are often packed when double zero tables are empty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt was the same at Planet Hollywood during our visit.<\/p>\n
Planet Hollywood has eight roulette tables. Seven have a $15 minimum, one has a $10 minimum. The lower table minimum is more than enough to entice recreational gamblers, and casinos couldn’t be happier about it.<\/p>\n
Before you start calling triple zero roulette players stupid, consider this: They’re not gambling to make money. They’re playing to have fun.<\/p>\n
And here’s a confession: We had fun playing triple zero roulette at Planet Hollywood, too. And we won money to boot.<\/p>\n
We even made money on one of the bets you’ll only find at a triple zero roulette table. It’s a bet on any of the zeros, and it pays 11-to-1.<\/p>\nBig thanks to Planet Hollywood for not asking security to Taser us for taking photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOh, and while we’re at it, here’s another counter-intuitive fact about triple zero roulette: It can actually make your money last longer.<\/p>\n
It’s true!<\/p>\n
Despite disadvantageous odds, the lower table minimum at triple zero roulette means a typical player (assuming they make the minimum bet) will lose less over time than someone betting more at a double zero roulette table.<\/p>\n
That’ll teach you to be less judgy.<\/p>\n
So, no, not everything is ruined. But that doesn’t mean we have to like triple zero roulette.<\/p>\n
Triple zero roulette is a symbol of an evolution taking place in Las Vegas casinos. As gambling revenue declines, casinos have to find new and clever ways of bolstering their bottom lines.<\/p>\n
If guests play games with a higher house edge, casinos will continue to find ways to raise them even higher.<\/p>\nJust about sums it up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe irony, of course, is gambling revenue is declining because the perceived value of gambling has declined. Casinos tighten their slots, so players play slots less. Casinos change 3-to-2 blackjack games to 6-to-5, so fewer play the game. It’s a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n
Our strategy is to play the games where we have the most fun. That way, we can spend our time being entertained rather than doing math.<\/p>\n
We’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you care about the number of zeros on your roulette table?<\/p>\n
