Roulette Call Bets: Basics, Types and Working Explained

Roulette-Call-Bets

Roulette is a casino staple at both land-based and online casinos. The game of Roulette is easy to get started with and offers ultimate fun and excitement to its players.

When playing roulette, players have the option to choose from several different bet types. They can choose to place inside bets or go with outside wagering options. 

Along with these traditional bet types, some roulette variations allow players to make call Bets. Continue reading to know what roulette call bets are and how to place them when placing at our casino online.

What are call bets?

Roulette call bets are special types of Roulette wagers that can only be made in the French and European types of Roulette games. Owing to their French origin, the naming of Roulette call bets is mostly in French.

When placing roulette call bets in a land-based venue, players don’t have to move their Roulette chips on the Roulette table. Instead, they just need to announce the call bet they wish to make. Note that placing Roulette call bets at a land-based isn’t the same as wagering on credit. Players must have the required chips to cover their call bet. In online Roulette games accepting call bets, players can find dedicated buttons to make these wagers.

Roulette call bets can be classified into two categories: fixed bets and variable bets. Fixed bets, as their name suggests, only cover a specific section of the Roulette wheel. And this section stays the same every time you make that specific call bet. Variable wagers, as mentioned in our Auto Roulette guide, can cover different sections of the Roulette wheel.

Common Roulette call bets listed

Now that you know the basics of roulette call bets, here are the most common roulette call bets to make in online Roulette games.

Voisins du zero

The name of this Roulette call bet translates to “neighbours of zero” in English. And it covers the numbers that lie between 22 and 25 on the Roulette wheel. They include:

22 – 18 – 29 – 7 – 28 – 12 – 35 – 3 – 26 – 0 – 32 – 15 – 19 – 4 – 21 – 2 – 25

Players need to have 9 chips to make this call bet. Here, two chips are wagered on 0/2/3, two chips on corner bet 25/26/28/29 and one chip each on the following splits: 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, and 32/35.

Tiers

The Tiers wager has been one of the most popular call bets in Roulette history. It covers 12 numbers (one-third part) on the Roulette wheel. These 12 numbers, which lie on the opposite side of zero, include:

27 – 13 – 36 – 11 – 30 – 8 – 23 – 10 – 5 – 24 – 16 – 33

When placing this call bet, players wager 6 chips in total. Here, a single chip is wagered on each of the following splits: 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, and 33/36. The potential payout for getting this call bet right in Double Ball Roulette is 8:1.

Orphelins

This Roulette call bet covers the numbers that aren’t a part of the Tiers and Voisins bets. The Orphelins bet includes the following two sets of eight numbers: 17 – 34 – 6 and 1 – 20 – 14 – 31 – 9.

Players need five chips to make the Orphelins call bet. When placing this wager, one chip is wagered straight up on 1 and four on each of the following splits: 6/9; 14/17; 17/20 and 31/34.

Finals

With this call bet, you wager on every number that ends in the same digits. That way, the “final 6” would be a bet on 6, 16, 26 and 36. Some Roulette games also allow players to place the Finales a Cheval bet, which covers all the Roulette numbers that end in any of the two particular numbers. An example of a Finales a Cheval call bet is: 2, 4, 12, 14, 22, 24, 32, 34.

Are call bets a good betting option to go with?

Based on the specific Roulette call bet type, the odds of winning Roulette call bets range between 8.5% and 45.9%. But are they worth placing?

The answer to this depends on your playing preferences and your bankroll amount. Most Roulette call bets require you to wager multiple chips at one time. So, you must have a sufficient bankroll if you plan to place these bets.
