French Roulette

Rules and differences between French roulette in casinos and other types. Although French roulette is similar to European roulette, there are several features that make it a separate category. In this article, we will look at these differences and explain what words are used for betting, as well as why French roulette players have more advantages than casino players!

French roulette is a game of chance in which you must place a bet and guess which pocket the ball will land in on the spinning wheel. Although it is believed to be the first game of its kind, it still has a lot in common with each of the other variants.

The original French terms are used in the traditional game. Below is an image of the playing field where bets are placed.

Types of bets in French roulette: The traditional variants are almost identical, but their names are written and read in the original language.

In French roulette, the inside bets are as follows:

• En plein — straight bet;
• Cheval — split;
• Transversale — street;
• Carre — corner;
• Sixainne — line.

Outside bets in French roulette: Colonne — column, Douzaine — dozen.

Noir/Rouge means black/red;

Pair or Impair — even or odd;

First and second half: silence/skip.

The differences between French and European roulette lie in the RTP, or theoretical return to player percentage. In Europe, this figure is 97.3%, while in France it is 98.75%. The French version has the best odds of winning!

This is achieved by including additional rules that give players an advantage.

The En Prison and La Partage rules in French roulette state: “If the roulette wheel lands on zero, half of the bet made on even chances is returned.” This means that if the wheel lands on zero, you only lose half of your bet, not the entire bet.

The En Prison rule works differently. The croupier marks all even-money bets when zero comes up. In this way, he “puts the bets in prison,” forcing players to repeat them on the next spin. The player gets their first bet back if the bet wins.

If the even-money bet does not win, this is a second, free attempt. However, it should be remembered that this is not a mandatory rule, but simply an additional rule that may be found in some casinos.

In French roulette, there are three even-money bets: Noir/Rouge, Pair/Impair, Manque/Passe.
