This makes in all 32, completing that series.
Now, supposing that the second row or series of red came thus:
This makes in all, 37. In this case, black wins, because 32 is nearer 31 than 37.
The dealer, therefore, declares, “Noir gagne” (Black wins), or “Rouge perd” (Red loses), whereupon all bets upon black are paid, and all the stakes upon red taken in by the croupiers.
Wagers on colour are made during the play, and decided by the colour of the last card in the winning series.
Thus: if black wins, and the last card of that series be clubs or spades, colour wins; but if hearts or diamonds has been turned up last, colour loses.
The bank has, in the long run, advantages enough to defeat all players. The advantage at Rouge-et-Noir is called the refait (drawn game), which happens when there is a tie between the two series, and both count the same number between 32 and 40. For instance, 34 or 39 for both the series, red and black.
In this case, neither bank nor players win or lose. The players may change their stakes, or let them remain, at pleasure.
