Online French roulette

Hailed from Monte Carlo, the gambling Mecca of the elite, French roulette is the preferred game among the privileged. The hypnotic spinning wheel continues to trance high rollers with its frenzied spinning, until the ball makes its final stop on fate's chosen number.

Advantages of French roulette

Although roulette is the French translation for 'small wheel', There's nothing small about its payouts. Unlike most tables, this one is red, not green, and marked in French. If you're not that fluent in French, we've summarised the betting options so you don't get lost in translation:

Inside bets

  • Corner: Carre
  • Line Bet: Sixainne
  • Split Bet: Cheval
  • Straight-up: En plein
  • Street Bet: Transversale

Outside bets

  • Column: Colonne
  • Dozen: Douzaine
  • Even or Odd: Pair, Impair
  • Low or High numbers: Manque, Passe
  • Red or Black: Rouge, Noir

In French roulette, there are certain features that have distinct advantages over the other variations. The French roulette wheel, like the European wheel, has only a single zero; this means that you have better odds of winning than at American roulette, which possesses a single zero and double zero.

French roulette has a special rule called La Partage which only applies when you make an even-money bet (i.e. high/low, red/black and odd/even bets). If the ball lands on a zero, you lose only half of your even-money bet. La Partage provides a significant statistical advantage that is absent in American roulette.
