What Roulette Side Bets Actually Cover
Standard roulette gives you inside and outside positions on the grid. Side bets extend that grid into a second layer — Voisins du Zéro covers a 17-number arc around zero, Tiers du Cylindre covers 12 numbers on the opposite arc, and Orphelins picks up the gaps. Providers like Evolution build these markets directly into their live European and French roulette tables, so
the racetrack panel sits permanently on screen. Each side bet is resolved on the same spin as your main bet — there is no separate round or wait time. The payout depends on which number inside the cluster hits, with straights paying at full 35-to-1 odds.
