Las Vegas Roulette
Las Vegas has more roulette games than any other city on earth. However, many of the
games offered are on American double-zero wheels which offer much poorer odds than
games played on single-zero wheels.
Our latest survey of roulette in Las Vegas follows.



Our Survey of Roulette Games
Following is an explanation of each column in the tables.
Casino: obvious. When a casino is listed more than once generally the more
liberal rules have a higher minimum.

Rules: "Double zero" means the wheel has a zero and double zero, "Single zero"
means the wheel has a single zero, "European" means the wheel has a single zero
and even money bets lose half when the ball lands in zero.

House Edge: Ratio of expected loss to wager. Assumes an even money bet under
European rules.

Note: To find the single-zero wheel at the Green Valley Ranch, go through the high-limit
table game room, through the high-limit slots, and into a secondary room for high-limit
table games. It is my understanding that this room is never open to the general public, but
only to private parties.
