Roulette Layout Table

As if straight roulette wasn’t enough, there are further variations of bets available from certain casinos and online roulette can offer opportunities for these variations that you might not have locally. The numbers, based on their location and proximity to other numbers on the roulette wheel, in certain combinations or number series in roulette have particular titles attached to them. The arrangement of the numbers on the wheel differs to the arrangement of the numbers on the layout, which are sequential and so the series are created according to where they lie in relation to each other on the wheel.

The names derive from the position of the zero, in the first place, and then their relative position thereafter. Thus there are ‘neighbors’, a clutch of numbers below the zero collection, the ‘tiers’ or third below them and the ‘orphans’ and ‘orphelins’ or outsiders above the ‘tiers’ (third) and either side of the ‘neighbours’. Those placing their chips may bet a set amount per sector (or multiples thereof).

Some casinos offer these bets, and others allow additional bets such as ‘en prison’ or ‘la partage’ where a player placing a stake on an evens bet has the option to have half their stake returned should a zero fall on the wheel, or let it sit for the next spin. However, if a zero comes up again, the full wager is relinquished. The ‘called bets’ may also be placed in combination with any of the regular inside or outside bets.

Check below for the definitions of the ‘calls’ and the numbers involved with them.

Jeu zero (or “zero game”)

The numbers that lies the closest to the zero called by this name – 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32 and 15.

Voisins du zero (or "neighbors of zero")

This is the name for the group of numbers that lie between 22 and 25 on the wheel including 22 and 25 themselves. The numbers in the group: 22,18,29,7,28,12,35,3,26,0,32,15,19,4,21,2,25 (only on a single zero wheel).

9 chips or multiples thereof are bet. 2 chips are placed on the 0,2,3 trio;
1 on the 4/7 split; 1 on 12/15; 1 on 18/21; 1 on 19/22; 2 on 25/26/28/29 corner; and 1 on 32/35.

Tiers (or "the third")

This is the name for the numbers, which lie on the opposite side of the wheel between 27 and 33 including 27 and 33 themselves. The series is 27,13,36,11,30,8,23,10,5,24,16,33 (on a single zero wheel).

6 chips or multiples thereof are bet. 1 chip is placed on each of the following splits: 5/8; 10/11; 13/16; 23/24; 27/30; 33/36.

A variant known as "Tier 5,8,10,11" has an additional chip placed straight up on 5, 8, 10 and 11; and so is a 10-piece bet.

This is also called the "Small Series" It includes the following wagers, which are all Splits
5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, 33/36

Orphelins ("orphans")

These numbers make up the two slices of the wheel outside the Tiers and Voisins. They contain a total of eight numbers, the Orphans comprising 17,34,6 and the Orphelins being 1,20,14,31,9.

5 chips or multiples thereof are bet. 1 chip is placed straight-up on 1 and 1 chip on each of the splits: 6/9; 14/17; 17/20 and 31/34.

"xx and the neighbors"

A number may be backed along with the 2 numbers on either side of it in a 5-piece bet. For example, "0 and the Neighbors" is a 5-piece bet with 1 piece straight-up on 3, 26, 0, 32 and 15. Neighbors’ bets are often put on in combinations, for example "1, 9, 14 and the neighbors" is a 15-piece bet covering 18, 22, 33, 16 with 1 piece; 9, 31, 20, 1 with 2 pieces and 14 with 3 pieces.

Any of the above bets may be combined, eg "Orphelins by 1 and Zero and the Neighbors by 1." The "...and the Neighbors." is often assumed by the croupier.
