As for announced bets. If you’ve never heard of them? Here’s a quick rundown:
Announced Bets
In a bricks and mortar casino, announced bets are made by announcing to the croupier what you wish to bet, instead of placing it yourself. This just means it’s easier for players to bet some of the more complex combinations. These can include Les Voisins du Zero, Tiers du Cylindre and Les Orphelins.
Voisins du Zero
Literally translated as “Neighbours of Zero” this announced bet is the 17 numbers close to zero on a European Wheel from 22 on the right round to 25 on the left.
Tiers du Cylindre
Translated as ‘thirds of the wheel’, this bet is made up of the bottom third of the roulette wheel and the numbers go from 33 right round to 27.
Orphelins
The ‘orphans’ are two parts of wheel that make up the rest of the numbers not in the Voisins du Zero nor Tiers du Cylindre. These include 9, 31, 14, 20 and 1 on one side of the table, and 17, 34 and 6 on the other.

European Roulette Announced Bets is a slick and simple roulette variant – so it’s hats off to Tom Horn Gaming!
