I am now active switching from Roulette to Baccarat. One reason is, there is almost no casino in Germany which is dealing Baccarat anymore, but the online casinos offer that game 24/7. So if Lady Luck has no gifts but itching powder for you, then you have online enough time to escape from an unlucky session without going broke.

Also the greed is rising. All Airball Roulette machines in Germany takes everything from you when Zero hits, also the Even Chances. No "La Partage" rules! This means, you will not get half the bet back. It's all lost. A big disadvantage, because this doubles up the house edge at European Roulette with single Zero from 1,35% to 2,7%.

Playing at tables with double Zero is sheer suicide and every bet is a sucker bet.
Also playing against a RNG Roulette "wheel" is insane, because this has nothing to do with real coincidence.
In the beginning of this industry online Casinos were able to adjust the outcome, the house edge of their software. I have seen that software myself. No doubt, that until today RNG at Roulette is rigged.

What was reported to me over the years, is beyond the maximum standard deviation one can expect.

Back to the real Roulette and Zero.
Also in Austria in the real casinos the "La Partage" rule at the real dealer tables is gone!
What a rip-off!

If you look at Baccarat, then the "Player" and "Banker" bet is quasi comparable with the Even Chances at Roulette.

But betting on Baccarat brings back the old good and very small house edge of Roulette.

The house edge for "Player" bets is 1,36% which is almost exactly the same as the [old] Roulette house edge of 1,35%, and if you bet on "Banker", then you only facing a small house edge of 1,17%.

The "Tie" bet is only for mental unstable morons, because who the heck has the desire to be milked by a 14+% house edge?

Hello?!

Some other games like Craps or Black Jack have a more lower house edge, but the maths are different and so the standard deviations. Black Jack has a 4 times lower house edge than Roulette, but the losing streaks can be 5+ times longer than at Roulette.

Baccarat and Roulette are like sisters. Rhythms and trends are comparable, and you can adapt good Roulette systems to Baccarat. But you are playing against half of the house edge, which will safe you a lot of money in the long run.

Red and Black or Blue and Red.

Zero or Tie.

No difference, but a smarter deal for the wallet if you play Baccarat after many things changed in the casinos ... unfortunately.
