Should you play it?

Variance profile
Low. Ordinary single zero swings: outside bets win almost half the time, a single number about once in 37 spins.
How Italian Roulette works
Bet in Italian
The dealer opens and closes betting in Italian; place chips on numbers or the outside boxes.
A classic European spin
The dealer spins a single zero wheel, the classic European format Ezugi keeps at this table.
Paid at the usual rates
A single number pays 35:1 and an even money bet 1:1; the cost of every bet is 2.70%.
Roulette in Italian
Ezugi runs Italian Roulette with native Italian speaking dealers in a studio designed for the table, and keeps to the classic European format. Bets, results and chat all happen in Italian, which is the whole point of the table.
The cost
Nothing about the language changes the math: one green zero among 37 pockets, a straight up paying 35:1, and a 2.70% house edge whichever bet you make.
The math behind Italian Roulette
The wheel has 37 pockets: the numbers 1 to 36 and a single zero. The game's rules list every bet and its payout. Every figure below comes from those numbers: the house edge is worked out exactly from the payouts and the pockets.
Try it: place your bets
Tap a number for a straight up bet, a line between two numbers for a split, a corner for four numbers, or the edge next to the dozens for a street or six line. Add as many bets as you like.
The green pocket is not red, black, odd, even, high or low, so every outside bet loses when it lands. That is where the house edge comes from.

Your chance, payout and cost per spin will show here. Over many spins these bets lose about a spin on average, of your stake, even though a single spin leaves you ahead of the time. These bets can never finish a spin ahead, only break even or lose, and over many spins they lose about a spin on average, of your stake. A winning straight up pays 35 to 1, which on its own gives back 97.30% of what you stake; the bonus games add more, but how much is not published, so the true cost of these bets is not known.

"A fair price" is the payout that would make a bet break even over time: the pockets it loses on for each pocket it wins on. Every payout here is below it. No RTP figures are published; these are worked out exactly from the payouts and the 37 pockets.
One zero or two
Single zero, 37 pockets
2.70% house edge
One green pocket out of 37. $1 on red for 100 spins costs about $2.70 on average.
Double zero, 38 pockets
5.26% house edge
Two green pockets out of 38, almost double the cost: about $5.26 per 100 spins of $1 on red. The five number bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) costs even more, 7.89%.

Is there an Italian Roulette strategy?
No. Italian Roulette pays the classic European rates, which leave the house 2.70% of every bet however you play.
The language is the only extra
Hosting the game in Italian changes how it feels, not the 1 in 37 chance of any number.
What you can control
How much goes on each spin
The house keeps about 2.7 cents of every dollar you bet here, so smaller stakes mean smaller losses.
