We write the master equation describing the Parrondo's games as a consistent discretization of the Fokker--Planck equation for an overdamped Brownian particle describing a ratchet. Our expressions, besides giving further insight on the relation between ratchets and Parrondo's games, allow us to precisely relate the games probabilities and the ratchet potential such that periodic potentials correspond to fair games and winning games produce a tilted potential.
