Casinos: If there is a bet on a group of numbers and the 0 (or 00) comes up. the bet is lost. If there is a bet on a characteristic and the 0 (or 00) comes up, the bet is lost (American rules), put "in prison" (some European casinos), or half lost (other European casinos).
Bet in prison A bet in prison must be left on the layout, and its fate is decided by the next throw of the ball. If the characteristic bet (e.g., red) comes up next, the bet is returned to the player but with no winnings. If the opposite characteristic (e.g., black) comes up, the bet is lost. If the 0 comes up again rules van' (since these are European casinos there is no 00): a in some casinos the player loses half the bet and the other half is returned;
b elsewhere the player loses half the bet, while
the other half remains in prison to have its fate
decided by the next throw of the ball in exactly
the same way (the bet in prison is halved for
each further 0 that appears consecutively). |
