The "en prison" rule can help when you bet on a single number and it comes up 0. Normally you lose, but "en prison" lets you save that bet! The croupier will keep your chip imprisoned until the next spin. If then your number comes up, you win double. If not, you lose your imprisoned bet. Casinos offer this to keep customers happy. So if unlucky 0 hits, ask for "en prison" - it gives you another chance to win big! Learning this rule can rescue bets and boost your fun at the roulette table.

Players may put their initial stake "en prison" following a zero spin under the "en prison" rule, which is only applicable to even-money propositions. The player's stake is refunded in the event that the next spin results in a win; if it does not, it is forfeited.

Why roulette players should know it The "en prison" rule is important for roulette players as it can significantly lower the house edge in European and French roulette. If a player makes an even-money bet and the ball lands on zero, the bet is "imprisoned," allowing the player a chance to recover their stake on the next spin, enhancing overall odds.
