En Plein
“En Plein” is a French term used in the world of roulette to describe a straight-up bet. When a player places a bet “en plein,” they are betting directly on a single number on the roulette wheel. This type of bet is considered one of the riskiest in the game, as it offers a high reward but also comes with long odds. If the ball lands on the chosen number, the player wins, typically receiving a payout of 35 to 1. However, because there are 37 or 38 numbers on the wheel, depending on the version of roulette being played, the chances of winning are slim. Despite the risk, the allure of a big payout keeps many players placing “en plein” bets, adding excitement and intensity to the game.
