What is "Jeu Zéro" in French roulette, and how does it differ from other roulette variations?

[Karma]

"Jeu Zéro" is a unique bet in French roulette that distinguishes it from other roulette variations. This term translates to "Zero Game" in English, and it refers to a special combination bet that covers a specific set of numbers on the roulette wheel.

To place a Jeu Zéro bet, you need to wager on the following numbers: 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, and 15. This bet includes the numbers surrounding the zero pocket on the wheel, effectively creating a horseshoe-shaped pattern. Jeu Zéro is often considered a part of the "Announced Bets" category in French roulette, where players can announce their bets to the croupier.

The Jeu Zéro bet is distinct because it provides higher payouts compared to standard inside bets. It covers 7 numbers with just 4 chips, which means that if one of the covered numbers hits, you receive a payout of 9:1. This is more attractive than the typical 35:1 payout for a single number bet. However, it's important to note that Jeu Zéro has a relatively lower probability of winning, as it covers fewer numbers.

French roulette, with its unique bets like Jeu Zéro and La Partage rule, offers players some interesting alternatives and a lower house edge compared to American roulette. While less common in casinos outside of Europe, it adds an extra layer of complexity and excitement to the game.

The use of announced bets, like Jeu Zéro, in French roulette is well-known. These bets entail verbally announcing the intended wager to the dealer. In contrast, standard bets involve placing chips directly on the table.

"Jeu Zéro" (meaning "Zero Game" in French) is a special bet that is available only in French roulette. It consists of placing bets on a specific group of numbers, including 0, 2, 3, and one or more of the numbers from 4 to 36. The bet is made by placing chips in a specific area of the layout that is designated for Jeu Zéro. If the ball lands on one of the numbers in the Jeu Zéro group, the player will win their bet, regardless of whether they have placed other bets on the table. This differs from other roulette variations where bets are only won if the ball lands on a number that was specifically bet on. The Jeu Zéro bet has a higher payout than other bets in French roulette, but it also has a lower chance of winning. Despite the lower odds, many players enjoy the challenge and excitement of Jeu Zéro, as it is a unique feature of French roulette that is not found in other variations. Jeu Zéro also adds an extra element of strategy to the game, as players must decide whether to risk their chips on a bet with lower odds but a higher payout.

It The rule "Jeu Zéro" is exclusive to French roulette and allows players to get back half of their bet if the ball lands on zero. Contrastingly, the "La Partage" rule permits players to receive half of their bet back only when betting on an even money proposition. "Jeu Zéro" can be advantageous for players who prefer to bet on numbers near zero, like 1, 2, or 3. It solely applies to even money bets such as red or black.

"Jeu Zéro" is a special type of bet that is only available in French roulette. The bet is made on the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3, and pays out at a rate of 7 to 1. This bet is not available in other types of roulette, such as American or European roulette. The reason for this is that the French roulette wheel has a single 0 instead of a double 0, which changes the odds of the game. The French roulette wheel also has a rule called "La Partage," which gives players half of their bet back if the ball lands on 0.

In Jeu Zéro, the zero is covered by all of the call bets, which makes the game more favorable to the player. The payout for all winning bets is halved, and the house edge is reduced to 1.35%.
