Roulette is strictly a game of chance; no strategy will influence the outcome of any particular spin of the wheel. Remember, though, that the type of wheel used at the table (see The Wheel and the Table) directly effects the house’s edge: an American wheel gives the house a 5.26% edge, while a French wheel, having one pocket less, decreases the house’s edge to about 2.63%.

Know, also, that different playing choices and types of bets (see The Wheel and the Table) will influence your odds of winning and offer correspondingly different payouts.
