Resident Evil Requiem hides secrets in the most unexpected places, and the Roulette Table in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center is one of the best examples. At first glance it looks like a bit of decorative set dressing you can fiddle with between dodging zombies, but it is actually a clever hidden Easter Egg with a tangible reward attached. The trick is knowing exactly how to interact with it, because simply spinning the wheel will get you absolutely nowhere. Here is everything you need to know.

Where to Find the Roulette Table
The Roulette Table is located in the Parlor of the West Wing of the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. You play this section as Grace after her first meeting with Leon. To reach the Parlor, take a left after entering the West Wing and the door will be the first one on your right, just before the path leading down to the kitchen.
However, the Parlor door is locked when you first arrive. To open it, you need the Red Jewel, which you can find in the Nurse’s Station drawer in the West Wing. Once you have it, use it on the Unicorn Door to gain access to the Parlor. Once inside, the Roulette Table will be waiting for you.
How to Solve the Roulette Table Puzzle
The key thing to understand before attempting this puzzle is that simply spinning the Roulette Wheel does nothing. The puzzle only triggers when you shoot a specific number on the table first and then spin. There are also only three numbers that the wheel ball can ever land on: Red 7, Black 15, and Black 29. Shooting any other number on the table will result in a normal spin with no reward.
Here is the full step-by-step process:
- Step 1: Save your game before attempting the puzzle. The outcome is luck-based, and you do not want to waste ammo unnecessarily. You can save in the guard’s office before entering the Parlor for convenience.
- Step 2: Enter the Parlor in the West Wing of the Care Center.
- Step 3: Approach the Roulette Table and shoot one of the three valid numbers on the main flat surface of the table. The valid numbers are Red 7, Black 15, and Black 29. Make sure you are shooting the number on the table itself and not on the wheel. An audio cue will play to confirm you have done this correctly.
- Step 4: Once you have shot your chosen number, spin the Roulette Wheel and wait for the result.
- Step 5: If the ball lands on the number you shot, the puzzle is complete and you will receive an Antique Coin. If it lands on a different number, shoot one of the remaining valid numbers on the table and spin again until your number comes up.
Switching to first-person view can help with precision when aiming at the numbers on the table surface.
Tips to Avoid Wasting Ammo
Running low on bullets mid-puzzle is genuinely frustrating, so keep the following in mind before you start:
- Always save before attempting the puzzle. If things go wrong, you can reload and try again without losing ammo
- Use a pistol for accuracy when shooting the numbers on the table
- Do not shoot multiple numbers in one attempt. Shoot one number, spin, then assess the result before shooting again
- There is a breakable vase in the Parlor that you can smash for additional handgun ammo if you find yourself running short. You can also use a knife on vases to conserve bullets
- First-person aiming gives you better precision when targeting specific numbers on the table surface
- There are also one to two additional Antique Coins available to find in the Parlor itself, including one behind the bar counter, so explore the room thoroughly while you are there
What Do You Get for Winning?
Successfully landing the ball on your chosen number rewards you with 1 Antique Coin. This is the only reward available from this puzzle, and it cannot be repeated once you have won. Attempting to bet again after claiming the coin will not produce another reward.
Antique Coins can be exchanged for upgrades at the Parlor. Here is the full list of available items and their costs:
| Item | Coin Cost | Effect |
| Hip Pouch | 3 Coins | Adds 2 extra inventory slots |
| Steroids | 3 to 4 Coins | Increases maximum health |
| Stabilizer | 3 to 4 Coins | Improves gun handling and firepower |
| Blood Collector Override Manual | 6 Coins | Increases Blood Collector capacity by 50 |
In terms of priority, the recommended purchase order is Hip Pouch first for the extra carrying space, followed by the Override Manual for the Blood Collector boost, then the Stabilizer, and finally the Steroids.
You will need at least 17 Antique Coins to purchase all four upgrades, and there are approximately 20 to 22 Antique Coins available across the entire Care Center section, all collectible as Grace. However, since you will need coins throughout the game, it is important to collect as many as possible before spending them and to complete this puzzle before advancing too far in the story.
