As casinos look for ways to improve their bottom line, one of the biggest trends in recent years on the Las Vegas Strip is moving away single-zero roulette, also known as European Roulette. The big resorts now often only have a handful of such tables, with the high minimum bets discouraging the average joe from playing:

The main reason for this growing trend is the house edge that increases with a zero added to the table. Regular single-zero roulette typically has a 97.3% RTP versus 94.74% for two zeros and 92.31% for three. Table games historically had much smaller house edges than slot machines, something that is starting to change.

Strip casinos took in $358.7m from roulette last year

With gamblers betting billions on roulette at casinos every year, seemingly small differences in house edge can quickly compound. Strip casinos took in $358.7m from roulette last year, giving the properties a win percentage of 16.15%.

Anyone looking for better value table games in Sin City can head downtown to casinos like the Plaza, where $15 minimum bets are the norm for single-zero roulette, stacking the odds a bit more in your favor.
