Surrender Rule

Always inquire about the rules before playing Roulette.  The Surrender Rule works only for even money bets and reduces the House Edge  to 2.63%.  This rule applies when the ball lands on 0 or 00 you only lose half your bet rather than the full amount.

This is how the math runs:

E = [18/38 x (+1)] + [18/38 x (-1)] + [2/38 x (-0.5)]

E = -1/38 = - 0.0263

House Edge = 2.63%
