six line Language variant: US/UK English Explanation: Here is a link from the Gambling Commission in the UK setting out the rules of roulette - the term immediately after the letter is the Americal English term and after the first forward slash is the French term: "A. Straight Up – one specific number / En Plein / 35 to 1 B. Split – one of two specific numbers / A Cheval / 17 to 1 C. Street – one of three specific numbers / En Transversale / 11 to 1 D. Corner – one of four specific numbers / En Carré /8 to 1 E. First Four – one of numbers 0,1,2,3 / Quatre Premiers / 8 to 1 F. Six Line – one of six specific numbers / Sixain / 5 to 1" http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/UploadDocs/publications...

six decks Explanation: I found a couple of refs that mention that Casino's need 6 decks of cards for blackjack. The second link gives a different definition of 'sixain' than the one Irene mentions. It says it means 6 jeux de cartes=6 decks of cards. I think it might mean both things, just to make your life easier!
