It started innocently enough. An additional space showed up on a roulette table.<\/p>\n

It looked innocuous, just one additional space on one table at Venetian<\/a> back in 2016, no big deal.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
The logo that started it all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then triple zero roulette popped up<\/a> at Planet Hollywood and New York-New York. No big deal, right?<\/p>\n

Well, it depends upon who you ask. Or possibly whom. Have you always been this obsessed with grammar? Lighten up, you’re reading a Las Vegas blog.<\/p>\n

Math wizards were quick to point out each additional space on a roulette makes the game worse for players.<\/p>\n

Longtime roulette players sometimes joke about triple zero roulette, “More ways to win!”<\/p>\n

Um, no.<\/p>\n

On a table with two zeros, the house edge is 5.26%. Not great, but a table with three zeros bumps the house edge up to 7.69%, or as we call it, the gambler discomfort zone.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
Don’t try to hide that extra spot, Harrah’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prior to the pandemic, the proliferation of triple zero roulette raised lots of hackles. We should know, we were one of the main hackle-raisers.<\/p>\n

Mid-pandemic, lots of things we used to get riled up about seem relatively trivial. Still.<\/p>\n

There’s a reason you don’t hear much about triple zero roulette anymore. It’s pretty much everywhere in Las Vegas now.<\/p>\n

We’ve visited a number of casinos in the weeks since casinos reopened in June, and we’re hard-pressed to remember a casino where there wasn’t triple zero roulette.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
Pretty sure Ben Siegel would’ve bugged out about this, Flamingo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’ve seen triple zero at Harrah’s, Flamingo, Four Queens, MGM Grand, Linq and others.<\/p>\n

We used to keep a list<\/a> of casinos with triple zero roulette, but that list seems almost quaint now.<\/p>\n

We naively hoped lower demand would inspire casinos to dump triple zero roulette, but no such luck. So far.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
Logos have more of a “Nothing to see here!” vibe than zeroes. Good going, MGM Grand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, why do people play triple zero roulette when there’s often a double zero roulette table nearby?<\/p>\n

There are two answers: One, lower table limits. Two, they just don’t care.<\/p>\n

Lower table limits make triple zero roulette tables tempting despite the greater house edge.<\/p>\n

As for the “they just don’t care” aspect, we find ourselves in that camp lately.<\/p>\n

We are a recreational gambler. We aren’t playing any game for hours on end. That’s true of most Las Vegas visitors, too. You’re lucky or you aren’t. It’s more about fun than math.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
We knew we were fighting a losing battle when we saw triple zero at Four Queens and its sister casino, Binion’s. Bonus points for the blue felt, though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ultimately, gambling is gambling. The odds are always on the side of the house.<\/p>\n

If you’re gambling to make money, while possible, you may want to find other pursuits.<\/p>\n

One of the worst things that can happen is to let frustration about odds or rules or pay tables overtake your enjoyment of the gambling experience.<\/p>\n

Unless it has to do with paper straws being used in your drinks. Those ruin everything.<\/p>\n

\"Triple
Is now really the time to risk irking players, Linq?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While it’s not fun having to report triple zero roulette tables are everywhere in Las Vegas, there are bright spots!<\/p>\n

For example, downtown’s Plaza hotel has a single zero roulette table on its casino floor.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza
Behold the unicorn of roulette tables, single zero at Plaza.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cromwell has a single zero table, too. We miss you, Cromwell.<\/p>\n

A few other Las Vegas casinos have single zero as well, but they’re typically tucked away in high limit salons where table minimums can be sky high.<\/p>\n

Our advice is to find a roulette table with solid drink service and friendly dealers, and just play for fun.<\/p>\n

Lucky Luck will either smile upon you or plant her boot firmly in your posterior.<\/p>\n

Gamble for the memories, not the return on investment.<\/p>\n

And also avoid keno, because the odds absolutely suck.<\/p>\n

But mostly gamble for the fun! Life already has plenty of math.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
