Roulette can be competitive with Blackjack, because a player will always be placing fewer bets.

Roulette:

*Single zero wheel has a house edge of 2.7%

*30 spins per hour

Blackjack:

*House edge of 2% (not playing basic strategy)

*50 hands per hour.

Scenario:

*An average blackjack player at a full table, bets $5 per hand and plays 50 hands per hour. That's an hourly turnover of $250 and loses 2% or $5

*Compare that to roulette with 30 spins at $5 each at an hourly turnover of $150. With the house edge at 2.7% the total loss per hour would actually be $4.
