Synopsis

RouLotto is a brand-new quiz format that breaks all the old rules. Here’s what’s different: even if you don’t know the answer, you can still win big, if you just place the right type of bet!
The quiz questions are all about the players’ own country. All the players have to do is watch a short video, and identify which area it’s about.
A giant betting board, in the form of a simplified national map divided up into areas, is laid out in the studio. The four sets of partners place their bets by laying down their chips on the board, just like in a game of roulette.

The questions focus on what’s special about the area in question. For example, it could be a chart-topping statistic. An unusual custom. Or a very local trend. The questions might seem easy, but they actually turn out to be surprisingly tricky. However, each video always contains a hidden clue, often in the form of a well-known local specialty. You might only see it for a second, but it’s there!
