How Roulette Side Bets Actually Work
A roulette side bet is any wager placed in addition to the core spin bet — it runs on the same wheel outcome but pays out on a separate set of conditions. Common formats include Neighbours, which covers five numbers in sequence on the wheel, Finals, which groups all numbers ending in the same digit, and announced bet combinations like Voisins du
Zéro and Orphelins. Studios like Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live surface these on a racetrack betting panel displayed alongside the main felt. Each bet has its own chip cost and payout ratio, which the table interface shows before you confirm. RTP figures are displayed only where the provider exposes them directly on the table.
