A roulette wheel with double zero is a variation of the classic casino game with a house edge slightly higher than its single zero equivalent, due to the inclusion of two green pockets which void any bets placed when they fall. Other than this distinction, gameplay remains unchanged and most betting strategies still work when applied here.
Many players seek to lower their variance by betting on specific numbers; however, this can lead to multiple problems. First off, this won’t alter your odds; as such the likelihood of the ball hitting a given number at any given moment remains the same regardless of your bet or not. Furthermore, casinos will become suspicious of such wagers made in conjunction with bonuses and may consider them bonus abuse attempts.
Betting on the green zero is one of the best strategies on a roulette wheel with double zero because it yields the highest return on all bets. European wheels contain one green pocket, meaning your chances of success are 2.7% while American roulette features three green pockets reducing odds to 1.7%.
There are only minor variations between double-zero and regular versions of Roulette; their rules remain the same. The main distinction lies with the wheel, which contains 38 possible pockets (36 plus zero and double zero) to place bets; should any number fall in one of the losing pockets, you lose one chip while wins will pay out 35 chips.
Individual numbers on a roulette wheel with two zeroes offer similar payouts, though odds are slightly reduced. A straight bet will cost 17 chips and return 235. Adding to the thrills is the Top Five bet which covers 0, 00, 1, 2 with an incredible 6 to 1 payout rate and the Dozen bet which allows you to select any combination of 12 consecutive numbers that fall either between 1-12, 19-36 or odd/even (2-3) for an even money payout rate – both offering attractive odds at 2 to 1.
La Partage roulette wheel may offer lower odds than its double-zero counterpart, yet some casinos provide a variant called La Partage that gives back half of your stake when the ball lands in any zero pocket – similar to French version but offering refund on half of stake if ball hits zero pocket instead of winning it back if ball hits it instead of landing there! While this does not affect chances of winning or expected losses it might alter how it feels playing it therefore comparing both versions and see which you prefer is important!
