Tiers du Cylindre

This is shortened to Tiers, pronounced 'Te-yare'. Numbers from 27 to 33 inclusive.

Orphelins and Orphans

These orphans are so called because they don't belong in either of the two main bets. They are generally played as one bet. Numbers 1,20,14,31,9 and 17,34,6.

Finale

Another French bet fast dying out is the Finale. 'Seven finale' means that you wish to bet numbers the 7,17 and 27, or numbers that end in seven.

Call bets

An extension of the French bets, which are 'called out' to the dealer, is the Call Bet. These are more precise in that the player can identify any discrete section of the wheel. By far the most popular is the Neighbor bet. 'Eight neighbors' is a five piece bet that implies one piece (chip) on each of 11,30,8,23,10.

The American Roulette Wheel

Many questions regarding roulette revolve around the differences between an American roulette wheel and a European roulette wheel. The only difference worthy of note is the fact that an American wheel has two zero pockets, one marked 0 and one marked 00. This difference represents a significant difference in the house edge between the two types of wheels. On a European roulette wheel the house edge is approx. 2.70% - much lower than the American wheel at 5.26%.
