The Carpet - Roulette Betting Area

The carpet area is the part of the roulette table which is beside the wheel and is used for placing bets. This area of roulette comprises of a total of 37 numbers which are divided into 3 columns of 12 numbers. The boxes are numbered from 1 to 36, which are called the Lles numbers, and there is an additional box having a zero, which is placed at the carpet’s top along the width of the 3 columns. At the bottom of the carpet area, there are outside bets, having bets on black, red, odd, even, and missing passes. Also at the bottom, between the numbers and outside bets are the dozens, that is, 1st 12aine, 2nd 12aine and 3rd 12aine.

The Rules of Betting in Roulette Carpet Area

After the betting of a certain amount, the dealer will give you X times of your bet along with the winnings. Your original bet will still be placed on the carpet; it is then the player’s choice to leave or take it back. So if played and won from a single number, you will have a total of 36 rooms, from which 35 will be distributed by the dealer and the one left, will stay on the carpet.
