ABSTRACT

There are numerous strategies proposed for roulette, perhaps more than for any other casino game. This is likely because roulette is easy to understand and to play, and thus systems for roulette carry the lure of easy money with little effort. The martingale or double-up strategy is rediscovered from time to time, and is most often employed on even-money roulette propositions such as red or black. The Fibonacci progression attempts to build a system out of the Fibonacci sequence of integers. The Kryptos system for roulette is a variation on the martingale that attempts to account for independence of successive wheel spins. The Cancellation or Labouchere system is often suggested for roulette, but it can be used for any game with approximately even-money wagers. There are literally dozens of suggestions for slot machine players about how to choose a machine or how to choose their wager in effort to improve their chances of winning or the amount of their winnings.
