French Roulette
The French Roulette is a single zero roulette that consists of 36 numbers plus 0.
The differences between French Roulette and other roulette types are the game table layout, the locations of the numbers and the odds.
The player odds in French Roulette are better than the odds in European and American Roulette since players lose only 50% of their even-money wagers if the wheel stops on zero. This is known as the “La Partage” rule.
Use your left mouse button to click on the value of the chip that you wish to wager. Then place the chip on the roulette table by clicking on the desired betting area. You can regret a wagered chip before the game begins by clicking on the wagered chip with your right mouse button. When you have placed your bets, click the “DONE” button to start the game round. Click “SAME BET” to repeat the previously placed bet.
Betting Rules
There are several different types of roulette bets. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution.
| Designation | Bet | Description |
|
Inside bets |
||
| 1 | Straight up | A chip can be wagered on any individual number, including zero (0). The chip is placed directly on the individual number. |
| 2 | Split bet | A chip can be wagered on any two adjacent numbers, by placing the chip on the line dividing the two numbers. Note that a chip can also be placed on the line dividing zero (0) and 1, 2 and 3. |
| 3 | Street bet | Street bets cover three numbers. The chip is placed on the outer boundary line of the roulette table, next to the corresponding row of three numbers. Note that street bets can also be placed on 0,1 and 2; 0, 2 and 3. |
| 4 | Corner bet | Corner bets cover four numbers. The chip is placed on the cross where the four numbers intersect. You may also wager on 0, 1, 2 and 3 by placing the chip on the upper right boundary line of the roulette table between 0 and 3. |
| 6 | Line bet | A line bet covers two street bets i.e. six different numbers in two rows of three numbers. The chip is placed on the outer boundary line of the roulette table, where it is intersected by the line dividing the two rows. |
|
Outside bets |
||
| 6 | Column bet | On the short side of the roulette table there are three unmarked boxes. By placing your chip in one of these boxes, you mark all twelve numbers above it (excluding 0). |
| 7 | Dozen bet | You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing your chip in one of the three boxes marked “P12” (equivalent to 1st 12), “M12” (equivalent to 2nd 12) and “D12” (equivalent to 3rd 12). |
| 8 | Red/Black, Even/Odd and Low/High Bets |
A bet placed in one of these boxes covers half of the roulette table numbers (excluding 0). Each box covers 18 numbers. Red/Black: Place bet in box with red or black symbol. |
Announce Bets
Announce bets are equivalent to call bets in French Roulette. There are several types. Voisins du zero, Orphelins en plein, Orphelins a cheval, and Tiers du cylindre divide the wheel into four areas. Finales en plein are numbers ending with the same digit, and Finales a cheval (split finals) are pairs of numbers ending with the same digits.
Scroll to find the types of announce bets that you would like place. Next, decide the value of the chips that will cover your announce bets. In the example above, your wager on announce bets is $1 multiplied by 9 chips, resulting in a total wager of $9. If you want to increase your total wager by betting $2 per chip, simply click on the “Add bet” button once for each $1 unit you wish to add to the value of a chip. Click on the “Dec bet” button if you wish to decrease the amount wagered on each chip by $1.
When you click on the “Bet” button, your total wager will appear on the table.
Note that you may increase, decrease, or cancel your wagers at any time before the wheel spins. Once the chips are placed on the table, you can cancel by removing them by clicking on them, one at a time, with your right mouse button.
We recommend that you practice the announce bets offline before you play the game with real money.
Neighbor Bets
Neighbour bets cover numbers located next to each other on the roulette wheel. For example, if you wanted to wager on the number 25 plus the number immediately to the left and the number immediately to the right of 25 on the roulette wheel, you would call a 1-number neighbour bet on 25 that includes the numbers 2, 25, and 17.
Scroll to choose a number and then decide how many “neighbours” of that number (one, two, three or four) you would like to include in your wager. Next, decide the value of the chips that will cover your neighbour bets. In the example above, your neighbour bet is $1 multiplied by 5 chips, resulting in a total wager of $5. If you want to increase your total wager by betting $2 per chip, simply click on the “Add bet” button once for each $1 unit you wish to add to each wagered chip. Click on the “Dec bet” button if you wish to decrease the amount wagered on each chip by $1.
When you click on the “Bet” button, your total wager will appear on the table.
Note that you may increase, decrease, or cancel your wagers at anytime before the wheel spins. Once the chips are placed on the table, you can cancel remove them by clicking on them, one at a time, with your right mouse button.
