Jeu Zero (Zero Game)

Roulette

A called bet (announced bet) covering the seven numbers closest to zero on the European roulette wheel: 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, and 15. This is essentially a smaller version of the Voisins du Zero bet. The standard Jeu Zero requires four chips: one chip on the 0-3 split, one on the 12-15 split, one on the 32-35 split, and one straight-up on 26. In some Eastern European casinos, a five-chip variation called “zero spiel naca” includes an additional straight-up bet on 19. The bet pays 17:1 for split wins and 35:1 if 26 hits straight up. Jeu Zero is particularly popular in German and Eastern European casinos.

In practice

This bet is less commonly found in Asia-Pacific markets compared to Voisins du Zero or Tiers du Cylindre, but may be offered in European-facing VIP rooms.
