Voisins du Zéro

Voisins du Zéro places 9 units covering 17 numbers of the wheel, hitting 1 in 2.2 spins. Enumerating every pocket gives an exact house edge of 2.70% — the wheel’s standard price; announced bets change coverage and volatility (SD 1.07), never the edge.⚙ computed

Calling it at the table

Announced bets are exactly that — you say “Voisins du Zéro, 9 units” and the croupier places the chips for you. Have the full amount ready: 9 × your unit, every spin. Online, the racetrack oval places the whole pattern in one tap.

The wheel sector it buys

Unlike grid bets, Voisins du Zéro maps to a physical arc of the wheel — its entire reason to exist (the felt and the rim are different maps). The 17-pocket arc hits 1 in 2.2 spins by construction, not by magic.

Session math

At $45 per spin (9 × $5 units) over 100 spins you wager $4500, expect about $122 in edge, and ride swings of roughly ±$481 one SD. Same price as plain red — different shape of evening. Try the pattern in the simulator and watch the meter agree.
