CALL BET DETAILS

Call Bets and Announced Bets Explained

Call bets are wheel-sector bets used in European and French roulette. They have fixed names, fixed pocket groups, and fixed chip counts. Live dealers at Evolution and Pragmatic Play live tables handle these by voice or by a separate racetrack betting panel on screen. Each call bet below covers a specific arc of the wheel.

Voisins du Zéro

Covers the 17 numbers closest to zero on the wheel. Requires 9 chips split across splits, a street and a corner. A wide-arc bet that includes zero itself.

Tiers du Cylindre

Covers 12 numbers on the opposite side of the wheel from zero. Six chips placed as six splits. Roughly a third of the wheel, hence the name tiers.

Orphelins

The eight numbers not covered by Voisins or Tiers. Placed as one straight up and four splits using five chips. A niche bet for players who want full wheel coverage.

Jeu Zéro

A smaller zero-sector bet covering seven numbers near zero. Four chips placed as three splits and one straight up. Common on French tables and some live Evolution variants.

How Roulette Bets Are Structured

A roulette table is split into two main betting zones: the inside and the outside. Inside bets sit on the numbered grid itself and cover one number or a small cluster. They pay more but land less often. Outside bets wrap the grid — red or black, odd or even, high or low — and land closer to half the time but

pay less. Beyond those two zones, European and French tables add a third layer called call bets and announced bets, which cover fixed sectors of the wheel rather than positions on the cloth. Knowing which zone a chip belongs to is the first thing that changes how you read the table.

BET TYPE MECHANICS

Inside and Outside Bets at a Glance

Each bet type has a fixed structure — the number of pockets it covers, the payout it returns, and where it sits on the cloth. Whether you are on a mobile screen or a desktop live table, the layout stays consistent across standard European and American roulette variants.

Straight Up (Inside) A chip on a single number. It covers one pocket out of 37 on a European wheel and pays 35 to 1 — the highest single-bet payout on the table.
Split and Street (Inside) A split covers two adjacent numbers and pays 17 to 1. A street covers three numbers in a row and pays 11 to 1. Both bets use the lines between numbers on the grid.
Red/Black, Odd/Even (Outside) Outside bets like red or black and odd or even each cover 18 pockets, pay 1 to 1, and sit in the labelled boxes around the numbered grid. Simple, flat-return bets.
Dozen and Column (Outside) Dozens cover 12 consecutive numbers — first 12, second 12, or third 12. Columns cover 12 numbers in one vertical strip. Both pay 2 to 1 and are placed outside the main grid.

Roulette Bet Type Glossary

Short definitions for the terms you will see on the table, in the chat rail, and in game rules panels across live roulette variants on winpinas.

What is a corner bet in roulette?

A corner bet covers four numbers that share a corner on the betting grid. One chip placed at the intersection pays 8 to 1 if any of the four numbers land.

What does en prison mean in roulette?

A French roulette rule that applies when zero lands on an even-money bet. Your stake is held for one more spin rather than taken, giving you a second chance without a new chip.

What is a neighbour bet?

A neighbour bet covers one chosen number plus the two numbers on each side of it on the wheel — five pockets total, five straight-up chips placed via the racetrack panel.

What does la partage mean?

A French roulette rule where half your even-money stake is returned when zero lands. Unlike en prison, the bet is resolved immediately — half back, half gone.

What is the five-number bet in American roulette?

A bet unique to American roulette covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. It pays 6 to 1 but carries a higher house edge than any other standard roulette bet on the table.

What does announced bet mean?

An announced bet is declared verbally to the dealer before chips are placed, with the chip obligation confirmed. It is a call bet made on credit, used at physical and some live tables.

Common Questions About Roulette Bet Types

Real questions from players who are learning the table, checking payout ratios, or deciding between bet types on a live game on winpinas. Answers are based on standard European roulette rules unless noted.

A straight up bet on a single number pays 35 to 1 — the highest payout on a standard table. It covers one pocket, so it lands rarely, but the return per chip is unmatched by any other single bet.

Outside bets cover more pockets so they land more often. Red or black covers 18 of 37 pockets on a European wheel. They pay 1 to 1 or 2 to 1, not the larger ratios inside bets offer.

Yes. Most live roulette tables let you place chips on both zones simultaneously. A common approach is an outside even-money bet paired with one or two inside straight ups on favourite numbers.

Yes. Voisins du Zéro uses 9 chips, Tiers uses 6, and Orphelins uses 5. Each chip is a separate placement, so the total stake is higher than a single inside or outside bet of the same denomination.

Outside bets are a practical starting point. Even-money bets like red or black keep the chip movements simple while you learn the table layout before moving into inside or call bet territory.

Most bet types are the same. The key difference is the extra 00 pocket, which lowers your odds on every bet. The five-number bet covering 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 exists only on American layouts.
