A. Racetrack
Here you can bet on series, the zero game and neighbouring numbers. Neighbouring numbers are those to the left and right of the selected number on the racetrack. It is possible to play with up to four neighbours.
To do so, the player calls their bet to the croupier, for example:
“7 one, one” (3 chips)
“14 two, two” (5 chips)
“10 three, three” (7 chips)
“17 four, four” (9 chips)
The croupier announces the bet (repeats it) and places the chips on the selected number on the racetrack. If the ball lands on one of these numbers, the player receives a 35x payout. Bets on the racetrack are always placed by the croupier.
The respective payout rate depends on the chance played as follows:
Plein 1/37 = 2.70%
Cheval 2/37 = 5.41%
Transversale pleine 3/37 = 8.11%
Carré and the first four 4/37 = 10.81%
Transversale simple 6/37 = 16.22%
Column and dozen 12/37 = 32.43%
Simple chances 18/37 = 48.65%
Things you should know
Roulette wheel
The wheel comprises 37 numbered segments. The numbers from 1 to 36 are alternately coloured red and black, whilst the 0 is green.
Wheel checks
These chips do not have values printed on them, bearing instead the number of the table where they are valid. They differ only in their colour. Select the colour of your choice and then establish the value of your chips when exchanging them at the table. The limited selection of colours available establishes the maximum number of players and avoids any possible confusion. You can only bet with the wheel checks on the corresponding table. Once you have finished playing, simply exchange your wheel checks for chips (values) again. Values are generally accepted as bets at any table.
Racetrack
Alongside the actual playing field (tableau) is the racetrack. The oval is a compressed representation of the roulette wheel and displays the numbers in the order they appear on the wheel. This makes it easy to call bets on the neighbouring numbers. The centre of the racetrack shows the series (serie 5/8, serie 0/2/3, orphelins and zero game) corresponding to the range of numbers covered on the wheel. All bets on the racetrack are placed via the croupier.
Dolly
The dolly is a small figure placed on the winning number for all guests to see. As long as it remains on the winning number, no bets can be placed on it for the next game. In the case of the absolute main prize (plein), it is international custom to give the employees a chip (tronc) for the amount of the bet. Thank you in advance and good luck.
Series
If you expect the ball to land in a certain segment of the wheel, you can bet on a series. The illustration of the wheel and the racetrack display clearly which numbers belong to which series.
With the number of chips that you need to bet on a series you cover the entire area marked on the racetrack.
Voisins du zéro/Big series (Racetrack: Serie 0/2/3)
Nine chips are placed on this series. Bets are placed on the number combinations 0/2/3 (two chips), 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, 25/29 (two chips), 32/35.
Zero Game (Racetrack: 0-Spiel)
Here, bets are placed on the following number combinations:
0/3, 12/15, 26, 32/35. You need four chips for this series.
Tiers du cylindre/Small series (Racetrack: Serie 5/8)
This requires six chips. Bets are placed on the following number combinations: 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, 33/36.
Orphelins (Racetrack: Orphelins)
The “orphans” are the numbers which do not belong to any of the other series. Five chips are bet on the number combinations 1, 6/9, 14/17, 17/20 and 31/34.
