En Prison and Le Partage in Roulette

What is En Prison and Le Partage in Roulette?

If you wagered on any even-money bet (red/black, odd/even. high/low), and the ball lands in the green Zero, then your bet is "imprisoned". This will allow you to get half your stake back.

This nifty rule cuts the house edge to 1.35% when betting on even money bets. Think of it like this, bet on both red and black. You will on most spins just break even. However on the 1/36 times it lands in zero you only lose half your stake rather than the full amount.

Because this rule essentially gives the player an an advantage, it is not often implemented.  Most online casino's will simply take away your stake.  In British land casinos this rule is usually implemented.  Pinnacle Casino offer the En Prison rules. From their rules section. If you wagered on any even-money bet, AND the ball landed in the single Zero, then your bet is "imprisoned".

With an imprisoned bet, you have two options:

   1. You can remove the bet, in which case half the bet amount is returned.

   2. You can "let it ride".  If an imprisoned bet is included in the next spin of the wheel ...

          * ... and the bet wins, the bet amount is returned.

          * ... and the bet loses, you lose your bet amount.

          * ... and the next spin is also single Zero, half the bet amount is returned.

There is a very similar rule called, le partage. This offers the same house edge reduction but does not give you the option to let the bet ride. You just get half your stake back.

VC Casino offer le partage.  From the help pages, This version of Roulette features a single zero which when hit, returns 1/2 of all even money bets (colour bet, even/odd, high/low) on the table (le partage). If you are going to play roulette, then check out whether they offer En Prison or Le Partage rules.  Hopefully, as more players demand these rules, more online casino's will offer them.
