    Stumbled across this video on YouTube wondering what it would generate as far as comps go. I don’t chase comps but this seems interesting. $175 a hand for a game with strong HA seems legit.

    Are you asking about comps for roulette in general, or specifically the merits of comps/benefits of this system show in the YouTube video you shared? All roulette "systems" are mathematically void: https://wizardofodds.com/games/roulette/basics/#betting-systems. The HA is the HA, so I imagine the casinos only look at avg. bet x time as they do for other games. You'll certainly get more attention/comps betting $200 per spin on roulette than you would $200 a hand BJ, it's a function of losses due to the HA differences.

    Knowledgeable answer: I dunno, but doubt it. Mostly geared towards slots and VP.

    but, like table games most places, they'll take notice if you're placing monstrous bets.

    It would generate about three bucks in comps per spin.

    That said, I am not interested in this wager. Its just a big hedge and you will eventually lose if you keep playing

    The question seems to imply that you are looking to play games to generate comps.

    As I said before, if The Big Wheel generated the best comps, would you sit there for four hours to play?

    For me, the game has to be "entertaining" to me, and generate action and the possibility of winning big. Comps are secondary in importance.

    Roulette generates good comps because of the high house advantage, 5.26% on a 00 game. Players get eaten alive very quickly compared to BJ or Baccarat.

    That system in the video (or any other system) doesn’t change that. Play roulette if it’s fun for you and you are willing to lose.

    Roulette edge can be as low as about 2.4%

    Comps on roulette are better than BJ and Baccarrat.

    DONT PLAY FOR COMPS. JUST WIN, PLAY HIT N RIN AND COMP YOURSELF

    Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I will definitely stay away just seemed interesting. Just saw the countdown banner. Can’t wait for the trip report. Also I’m sure your cats could have used Juzang this year. Lol.

    Not chasing comps. Did that in my early 30’s and lost my ass trying to climb the players club ladder. I’ve never played roulette and somehow YouTube knows I’m headed out in a little over a month and this popped up. Just looked interesting.

    If you want to try your hand at roulette, Jerry’s Nugget offers it for $2 or $3 total minimum bet. That could be a low-risk way of giving it a go :)

    Google what the house edge is on a particular game and that will give you an idea of how good the comps will be, generally.

    A triple zero wheel with a terrible house edge around 7.26% is almost the equivalent of a slot machine. You will get great comps for "sucker" bets like 000 roulette.

    Roulette systems are a fools game, so wouldn't make much difference.
