OVERVIEW OF TRENTE ET QUARANTE
Trente et Quarante, or Thirty and Forty (also known as Rouge et Noir), is a classic card game from the 17th century, with French roots. It is a rare game to find at casinos, and even more so at online casinos. The game, however, is highly sought after in Continental Europe. It does have quite the fanbase, mainly due to the 98% returns rate it promises its players.
The premise of the game is simple. Players can choose to bet on either the value of the rows of cards or wager on the color of suit of the first card in the winning row. This leaves players with four different betting options – Rouge, 사설토토사이트 , Couleur, and Inverse. The game has a house advantage of 1% on every wager.
GAMEPLAY
The round starts with the dealer dealing a row of cards on the Rouge table and a similar row on the Noir table. The croupier then begins accepting bets from all players at the table. Again, players can choose one or more bets of Rouge, Noir, Couleur, and Inverse. Once complete, the rows of cards will be uncovered. The dealer then determines the winning row based on their total. Any row nearest to 30 will be given the win. In addition, the Couleur and Inverse bets are also determined, based on whether the first card in the winning row matches the side of the table it is on, which would be either Rouge or Noir (Red or Black). The dealer then pays out wagers according to their respective bets.
