2 - The Bets
In Atlantic City and European style roulette, these bets are the best at the roulette table, for they offer the player additional features which are greatly advantageous to the player. In Europe, the features are called en prison and Partage, and in Atlantic City, surrender.
First we'll go over the bets, and after, we'll examine how the en prison, partage and surrender rules work and how they affect the player.
Red-Black (Rouge-Noir) - There are 18 black and eighteen red numbers. A player may bet either the red or the black and is paid off at 1 to 1 on a winning spin.
High-Low (Passe-Manque) - Numbers 1-18 may be bet (low) or 19-36 (high). Bets are paid off at 1 to 1.
Odd-Even (Impair-Pair) - A player may bet on the 18 even numbers, even, or odd, the 18 odd numbers. Winning bets are paid at 1 to 1.
En Prison and Partage - En prison -It is on these even number bets (above) where the American and European games really differ. In American roulette, the house automatically wins on these bets when the 0 or 00 is spun (except in Atlantic City).However, in Europe, if the 0 is spun, the en prison rule comes into effect. The player has two choices now.
He or she can either surrender half the bet, called partage, or elect to allow the bet to be "imprisoned" one more spin. If the spin is won, the bet stays intact and is "released" for the player to do what he or she will. If the spin is lost, so is the bet.
This rule is greatly advantageous to the player, and brings the odds down on these bets to 1.35% in favor of the casino as opposed to the 2.70% on the rest of fue bets in the single zero game.
Surrender - In an attempt to get more gamblers to play roulette, the game in Atlantic City helps make up for the 00 of the American wheel by offering surrender, which is really partage by another name.
When a 0 or 00 is spun, players with bets on any of the even. money propositions lose only half the bet, "surrendering it," and keep the other half. This brings the house edge down to 2.63% on these bets.
