Objective of the Game
Rouge and Noir is a gambling game, often played in casinos, where the main objective is to predict whether the ball lands on a red or black field on the roulette wheel.
Game Equipment
- Roulette Wheel: Consists of 37 or 38 numbered pockets alternating colors, red and black, plus a green zero (and a double zero if it's the American version).
- Table Layout: Displays various betting options and their payouts.
- Chips: Used for placing bets.
Game Play
- Placing Bets:
- Each player places their bets by putting chips on the desired betting field.
-
Options include Red or Black, single numbers, even or odd numbers, etc.
-
Spinning the Wheel:
-
The croupier spins the wheel in one direction and launches the ball in the opposite direction.
-
Outcome:
- The ball lands in one of the pockets, and the outcome is announced.
- Players who correctly guessed the result win their bet based on the betting type's payout odds.
Betting Options and Payouts
- Red/Black Bets: One of the simplest bets, offering nearly 50:50 winning odds, minus the house edge.
-
Payout: 1:1
-
Straight Number Bets: Betting on a specific number.
- Payout: 35:1
Strategic Tips
- The house edge in roulette, especially with the American double zero, means that players will statistically lose if they play long enough.
- Popular strategies include the Martingale strategy, where players double their bet after every loss to recoup a win, which can, however, lead to significant losses.
Note: Rouge and Noir is a game of chance and should therefore be played cautiously and within one's budget.
