To play the game:

• Place your bet by clicking on a number or betting area on the Roulette table. Every click on the betting area adds one chip of the selected value to the bet.

Winnings for Announce Bets

Chip Covers	Pays	Description of returns
1 number	35 to 1	The winnings also depend on the number of chips involved in the bet. For example, in the case of Finales a Cheval 9/10, four chips are placed to cover 9, 10, 19/20, 29/30, If 9 or 10 is hit, the return is 35 + 1 - 4 = 32 chips. If 19, 20, 29 or 30 is hit, the return is 17 + 1 - 4 = 14 chips.
2 numbers	17 to 1
3 numbers	11 to 1
4 numbers	8 to 1

Winnings for Neighbor BetsThe winning number always pays 35 to 1. The return, however, depends on the number of chips involved in the bet. If, for example, the bet is placed on five consecutive numbers 11-30-8-23-10, it involves five chips. If one of the numbers is hit, the return is 35 + 1 - 5 = 31 chips.

La Partage RuleThe game uses the La Partage rule. According the rule, you lose only half of your even-money bets when the spinning result is zero.
