SINGLE-ZERO SLOTS NOT SO RARE

  Regarding the mention of single-zero slots in last week's
  item about the Nevada "Fitzgerald Hoard, Ron Haller-
  Williams writes: "Last I knew, most European countries
  would not allow the double-zero, figuring that the house
  should be happy with almost 2.703% (1/37 of the total
  staked, on average), and that 2/38 or 5.263% was too
  greedy.  So a wheel with a single zero slot is not exactly
  rare this side of the pond!"
