Roulette Rules Lands On Green Felt
Introduction
Relevant roulette rules When she bets on black numbers (18 of them are black), and the ball lands on a black number, she is handed back twice her bet value for a net profit equal to her bet. The same would be true for red numbers. If she were to bet on 'green', however, and the ball lands on a green number, she is handed back 18 times her bet. The three most popular roulette versions are generally available to play in both traditional and online casinos. At present, the European roulette is the most popular. There are 36 numbers placed in red and black pockets, while zero is located in a green pocket.
2G'$ is a simple roulette side bet that began a run at the Gold Coast on October 9, 2020. It is played on double-zero roulette only. The bet pays 350 to 1 if the ball lands in either green number (zero or double-zero) twice in a row after the bet is made.
Rules
As stated in the introduction, 2G'$ wins if the ball lands in a green number (zero or double-zero) twice in a row after the bet is made. Any combination of green numbers is allowed (0-0, 0-00, 00-0, or 00-00). It is offered on double-zero roulette only. Wins pay 350 to 1.
Analysis
The following table shows my analysis of 2G'$ at a win of 350 to 1. It shows the probability of winning is (2/38)^2 = 1 in 361 = 0.277%. The lower right corner shows a house edge of 2.77%.
2G'$
| Event | Pays | Probability | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Win | 350 | 0.002770 | 0.969529 |
| Loss | -1 | 0.997230 | -0.997230 |
| Total | 1.000000 | -0.027701 |
It should be emphasized the 2.77% house edge is lower than every other bet in double-zero roulette. If the player tried to accomplish the same thing by betting on the 0-00 combination, which pays 17 to 1, and let all winnings ride one more bet, then he would win 323 to 1.
Gaming literature from the owner of 2G'$ mentions other pays are available from 270 to 350, by tens. The following table shows the house edge of each.
Alternate Pays — Double Zero
| Win | House Edge |
|---|---|
| 270 | 24.93% |
| 280 | 22.16% |
| 290 | 19.39% |
| 300 | 16.62% |
| 310 | 13.85% |
| 320 | 11.08% |
| 330 | 8.31% |
| 340 | 5.54% |
| 350 | 2.77% |
As mentioned above, the player can achieve a win of 323 to 1 by parlaying after a first win. Thus, I would recommend doing that if a win pays 320 or less.
Single Zero Rules
Game literature by the owner of 2G'S also mentions a version for single-zero roulette. The probability of a win in that game is (1/37)*(1/37) = 1 in 1369 = 0.0730%.
The literature says the casino many choose from a win of 1050 to 1350 to 1, by 25's. The following table shows the house edge of each available pay.
Single Zero Version
| Win | House Edge |
|---|---|
| 1,050 | 23.23% |
| 1,075 | 21.40% |
| 1,100 | 19.58% |
| 1,125 | 17.75% |
| 1,150 | 15.92% |
| 1,175 | 14.10% |
| 1,200 | 12.27% |
| 1,225 | 10.45% |
| 1,250 | 8.62% |
| 1,275 | 6.79% |
| 1,300 | 4.97% |
| 1,325 | 3.14% |
| 1,350 | 1.31% |
By parlaying a first win on zero himself, the player can achieve a win for two consecutive zeros of 1,296 to 1. Thus, I would do that rather than accept a win of 1,275 or less.
The astute reader may wonder why the player should accept a win of 1,300, at a house edge of 4.97%, rather than parlay, when the house edge in single-zero roulette is 2.70%. The answer has to do with the way the house edge is defined. If the player parlays, his expected loss between the two bets is the sum of 1/37 = 0.0270 units from the first bet and an average of (1/37)*36*(1/37) = 0.0263 from the possible second bet for a total of 0.0533 units. Divide that by the one-unit original bet and you have a house edge of 5.33% by parlaying, relative to the initial bet.

Taxes
Players should also be mindful that by law the casino will issue a W2-G form for a table game win, not counting the return of the original wager, that is both (1) $600 or more and (2) 300 or more times the amount bet.
