"Faites vos jeux", "Rien ne va plus"... silence falls around the table when the croupier throws the small ball into the wheel with its 37 sections numbered from 0 to 36. These numbers also appear on the layout on which the players place their bets. Half of the numbers are Red, the other half are Black. When the winning number comes up, the winnings go from _ to 35 times the bet which is played on one, two, three, four, six, twelve, twenty-four numbers, or on single bets (Red, Black, even, odd, passe or manque). If the 0 comes up, the single bets lose half their value unless the player prefers to wait for the next throw by waiting to free himself when he gets a winning chance.
