Turn3 Roulette Side Bet

Introduction

The Turn3 side bet adds an interesting twist to roulette. Currently, I know it is offered at the Barona Casino in California, where they utilize a method beyond just the traditional roulette ball to decide outcomes. Typically, cards are employed for this purpose. The result of the Turn3 is derived from the card indicating the winning result of standard roulette wagers, plus two additional cards.

Rules

Here are the regulations governing the Turn3 as it is conducted at the Barona Casino in California.

  1. A special 37-card deck is utilized, featuring one card representing each potential outcome in single-zero roulette.
  2. Along with the conventional roulette options, players can also engage in the Turn3 bet.
  3. Once betting has concluded, the outcome for all standard roulette bets is determined by the first card drawn from the deck.
  4. Subsequently, two additional cards are drawn. The payouts for the Turn3 will be based on all three cards, as detailed in the following payout table:
    • 0-1-2 straight: 100 to 1
    • All other straights: 25 to 1
    • All same color: 3 to 1
