23 Neighbours Roulette

One of the most fascinating things about roulette is the variety of bets that you can place. Before you play roulette, especially for real money, it is best to have a clear understanding about the different bets and their payouts.

Slap-bang in the middle of this grouping is the Zero. Hence, all of the numbers around it are its ‘neighbours’. Tiers du Cylindre Translated as ‘thirds of the wheel’, this bet-type is an exactly a third of the roulette wheel (specifically the bottom third), and the numbers go from 33 right round to 27. Roulette was devised in the 17th century France. The game has been played in its current form since as early as 1796. In the early 1800s, roulette was brought into the US where, to further increase house odds, a second, “00,” was introduced. In the 1800s, roulette spread all over both Europe and the US, becoming one of the.

On this page, we’re going to go through every single bet type, including the more advanced Call/Announce Bets. If you want to see a quick “cheat sheet” with all of the different payouts in a graph for quick reference, you will find it on our page on roulette payouts.

Outside Bets

Outside bets can be found on the “outside” of the roulette table and the cover a large portion of the wheel, but the payouts are low.In total, there are 5 different kinds of outside bets which are the following:

Red and Black – There are 18 red numbers and 18 black numbers.

Odd and Even – There are 18 odd numbers and 18 even numbers.

1-18 and 19-36 – Pretty self explanatory, both of them cover 18 numbers.

The three above bets are “even money bets” because you double your money if you win e.g. bet £2 on black, win £4 back. Each of them covers just less than half of the table due to the addition of the 0 and in the case of the American game, 0 and 00.

Dozens – There are three dozens on the roulette table, 1-12, 13-24 and 25-36. Each of them covers 12 numbers which equates to just less than a third of the wheel.

Columns – These are similar to the dozens; there are three columns on the table and each of them covers 12 numbers.

Inside Bets

Inside bets can be found on the “Inside” of the table and they cover less numbers but the payouts are higher.

Straight Up Bet – This is a bet on a single number.

Split Bet – This is a bet on two numbers that are next to each other on the roulette table (not the roulette wheel).

Street Bet – Bets on three numbers that are a Street on the roulette table. For example, 1,2,3 is a Street, 4,5,6 is a Street and so on.

Corner Bet – A bet on four numbers that make a square on the roulette table. For example, 1,2,4,5 is a Corner bet.

4 Number Bet – Bets on 0,1,2,3 at the same time. Only available on European and French roulette.

5 Number Bet – Bets on 0,00,1,2,3 at the same time. Only available on American roulette. This is also the worst bet in the entire game because of the unfair payout – avoid it.

Double Street (Line Bet) – This is the same as the Street bet except it covers two Streets at the same time rather than one.

Call Bets

The Call bets, or Announce bets as they’re sometimes named, aren’t available on every roulette game and often they’re overlooked by players because they either don’t understand them or they would simply rather bet on the more simple bets above.

Before explaining what the Call bets are about, it’s worth noting that the layout of the roulette table and the roulette wheel are different. For example, as you go around the roulette wheel, the numbers are seemingly in a random order, they don’t go 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.

The Call bets are a way of betting on sectors of the wheel. If you think of the roulette wheel as a pizza, the Call bets are a way of covering a slice or multiple slices if you want to.

Voisins Du Zero

This is a bet that covers 17 consecutive numbers on the roulette wheel, starting from 25 and working your way around the wheel to 22. They’re also known by some as neighbours of the zero because the zero is (almost) in the middle of these numbers.

The actual Voisins Du Zero bet is covered by just 9 chips and it is done like this:

Roulette

2 chips on 0,2,3 street

1 on the 4/7 split

1 on 12/15 split

1 on 18/21 split

1 on 19/22 split

1 on 32/35 split

2 chips on 25,26,28,29 corner

Tier

The Tier bet is 12 numbers that are next to each other on the roulette wheel. The numbers are as follows: 27,13,36,11,30,8,23,10,5,24,16,33. The bet is covered by betting on 6 split bets at the same time which are:

5/8 – 10/11 – 13/16 – 23/24 – 27/30 – 33/36

Orphelins

This is a bet that covers 8 numbers, three that are next to each other on one sector of the wheel, 5 that are next to each other on another sector. The numbers are as follows: 6,34,17 and 1,20,14,31,9. The Orphelins bet is covered in the following way:

Straight bet on number 1

Split bet on 5/9

Split bet on 14/17

Split bet on 17/20

Split bet on 31/34

Neighbours

The Neighbours (sometimes spelt Neighbors depending where you are in the world) are 5 number bets of your choosing. Basically you pick your number and then you bet on that number and the two numbers that are on either side of it, making it a 5 number bet. A very easy way to cover large sections of the wheel. Some casinos will allow you to increase the size of your neighbours, up to eight either side of your number, making it a 17 number bet in total.

Final Bet

You may have a hard to finding this option online because very few casinos offer it. With this bet, you start by picking a number from 1-9. Once this is done, a bet will be placed on all numbers ending with the number that you chose.

Does this sound confusing? If so here is an example. If you picked 6, a bet would then be placed on the following numbers: 6, 16 and 26 because they all end in 6.

One Final Thing On Call Bets

Both online and offline, the Call bets are normally accessible via what’s called a Racetrack and in some land based casinos, you “Announce” the bet out loud rather than placing chips on it, hence why they’re sometimes referred to as Announce Bets.

If you would like to see the Call bets and try them for yourself, have a go on our free roulette pro game which has all of them available via a menu in the bottom left hand corner rather than the conventional Racetrack.

23 Neighbours Roulette Games

If you are familiar with the European game of Roulette then you might have seen or heard of ‘neighbour bets’, AKA ‘section bets’ and ‘call bets’. The European Roulette wheel has a different layout for the numbers than the American wheel does, and included in the European game are these additional bets.

The wheel is broken up into three main sections, and the player has the option of betting on any of these sections simply by calling the bet out to the dealer and giving them the money for the bet before or during the spin. These are called “section bets”. We will cover exactly what these sections are later in this article.

A ‘neighbour bet’ will include 5 numbers. You basically choose the number that you want to use for the neighbour bet, and it will include that number, and the two numbers on each side of it on the Roulette wheel. So, for example, if you wanted to play “zero and the neighbours”, your bet would include the two numbers on each side, so your bet would cover numbers 3, 26, 0, 32 and 15.

For a neighbour bet, your bet will be broken down into fifths, with one fifth effectively going on each number. So if you threw in a £5 bet, it would effectively mean you have £1 straight up on each of these five numbers. You have to be aware of the table minimums, so if the Roulette table had a £1 minimum on the inside numbers, then the minimum neighbour bet you can do is £5 (which will effectively mean £1 on each of the five numbers).

You don’t physically have to place £1 on each of these numbers, you simply announce to the dealer that you would like to play zero and its neighbours (or whichever number you want to play), and they will mark this bet up. Then if one of the five numbers comes up that spin, they will place the relevant amount on the number and pay you out for it.

Roulette Section bets

As well as the Roulette neighbour bets, there are also section bets that you can play as well. This is where the wheel is broken down into three different sections, and you can bet on any of them whenever you like. The three sections are:

  • Voisins du zero
  • Orphelins
  • Tier du cylindre

You can see from this diagram just what numbers each section includes. But we need to go into more detail of how the actual bets are broken down.

Voisins du zero

Voisins du zero is a 9 chip bet. So you need to bet in denominations of 9 when you play this section. The section includes 17 different numbers, including the zero on the wheel, and is the largest of the three section bets.

None of the bets cover any ‘straight up’ numbers (this is where the chip is placed on one number only). So the 9 different placements for the voisins du zero bet are as follows (the chip amounts mentioned are for a single 9 chip bet):

  1. 2 chips placed on the 0,2,3 corner
  2. 2 chips placed on the 25 to 29 corner
  3. 1 chip placed on the 4/7 split
  4. 1 chip placed on the 12/15 split
  5. 1 chip placed on the 18/21 split
  6. 1 chip placed on the 19/22 split
  7. 1 chip placed on 32/35 split

Orphelins

Orphelins is the smallest section on the wheel, covering 8 different numbers only. The section is actually broken into two different sections, each one separating the Voisins du zero and Tier du cylinder sections.

The Orphelins bet is a 5 chip bet, and they are broken down as follows:

  1. 1 chip placed on number 1 straight up
  2. 1 chip placed on the 6/9 split
  3. 1 chip placed on the 14/17 split
  4. 1 chip placed on the 17/20 split
  5. 1 chip placed on the 31/34 split

Tier du cylinder

23 Neighbours Roulette Game

So the remaining 12 numbers left on the wheel are all part of the Tier du cylinder section. This is a 6 chip bet, and each bet is placed on the following splits:

  1. 1 chip placed on the 5/8 split
  2. 1 chip placed on the 10/11 split
  3. 1 chip placed on the 13/16 split
  4. 1 chip placed on the 23/24 split
  5. 1 chip placed on the 27/30 split
  6. 1 chip placed on the 33/36 split

23 Neighbours Roulette Rules

So all of these neighbour bets and section bets are exclusive to the French and European games of Roulette. You will not find any of these on the American game, as the numbers on the wheel are set out in a completely different way on the American wheel as to the European and French. These bets are all very easy to play, and now you have an understanding of what each of the section bets are, and how to play them you can start practicing on a European game.
