Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Neighbors Bet in roulette?

A Neighbors Bet covers a specific number and its neighboring numbers on the roulette wheel (not the betting layout). For example, "17 and neighbors" with 2 neighbors covers 17 and the two numbers on either side of it on the wheel. This is a 5-number bet (center + 2 on each side).

How do neighbors work on the roulette wheel?

The roulette wheel has numbers arranged differently than the betting table. Neighbors are the physically adjacent numbers on the wheel. On a European wheel, the sequence is: 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2... So "zero and neighbors" (with 2) covers 26, 3, 0, 32, 15.

What is the payout for Neighbors Bets?

Each number in a Neighbors Bet is a straight-up bet paying 35:1. If you bet $1 on 5 numbers (center + 2 neighbors on each side), you risk $5 total. If one hits, you win $35 + get your $1 back, minus the $4 lost on other numbers = $32 net profit.

What is the house edge on Neighbors Bets?

The house edge is the same as any straight-up bet: 2.70% on European wheels and 5.26% on American wheels. Neighbors bets don't change the odds - they're just a convenient way to cover a section of the wheel with multiple straight-up bets.
