The game entails four "Simple bets": two at a time in oppositiion between them;Red or Black and Colour or Inverse ; all four simple chances are paid even.
The playing cards have the following values: aces are worth 1 point, picture cards 10 points, all the remaining cards are worth their nominal value.
The croupier starts lining up two rows of cards: the first row is the Black row, the second row is the Red row.
Then the croupier draws as many cards as needed for each row, to reach a total score of between 31 and 40 points (drawing stops when a score between 31 and 40 is reached). The winning row is the one where the total score is closest to 30 points. (Eg.: The first row totals 34 points, the second 37 points, Black is the winner because 34 is the score closest to 30 points).
Couleur and Inverse are given by the suit of the first card drawn on the first row:
- If the first card is red (hearts or diamonds) and the row wins, the Inverse wins;
- If the first card is red and the Red row wins, the Couleur wins;
- If the first card is black (spades or clubs) and the Black row wins, Couleur wins;
- If the first card is black and the Red row wins, Inverse wins.
Apart from the simple bets we also give the opportunity to bet on Aprés (same score) and the bet is paid 8:1, and on exact Aprés the bet is paid 39:1. To be able to bet on the Aprés it is necessary to have betted on the simple chance first. |
