 | | The roulette table, covered with a green cloth, is made up of precisely corresponding halves with a circular space let into the middle holding the wheel, on either side of which the cloth is divided into spaces marked passe, pair, manque, impair, and the fl and red diamonds. |
 | | A stake constantly played is called the quatre premiers, which includes zero, 1, 2 and 3, the stake being placed on the line where zero and 1 join passe, or where zero and 3 join manque. |
 | | Zero can also be played in combination with any one or two of its neighbours; if with one of them the stake is paid seventeen times, if with two of them eleven times. |
