French Roulette
French Roulette
French Roulette is a variation of roulette in which the wheel consists of pockets for numbers 1-36 plus a single 0. The game has a unique table layout. The "La Partage" rule offers you favourable player odds: You lose only 50% of your even-money bet if the wheel should stop on 0.
How to Play
There are several different types of bets you can place in French Roulette. To place a bet, use your left mouse button to click on the chip you wish to wager, then click in the desired betting area on the roulette table to place the chip. You can use several different chips to place one particular bet. (Move your cursor over any placed bet to see its total value.) To remove all placed bets, click CLEAR BETS. When you have placed your bets, click the SPIN button to start the game round. When a game round has ended, you can click the SAME BET button before the next round to conveniently place the same bet(s) as in the preceding round.
Betting rules
There are several different types of roulette bets. Each bet comprises a different set of numbers and offers different odds.
Inside and Outside Bets
| Inside Bets | Description |
| Plein | A chip can be wagered on any individual number, including zero (0). The chip is placed directly on the individual number. |

| Transversale simple | This bet covers two street bets in adjecent rows (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. |

Announce Bets
In French Roulette, there are several types of announce bets, equivalent to call bets. Click ANNOUNCE BETS to open the announce bets dialog. When you move your cursor over the list of announce bets (1), the numbers covered by each bet are highlighted on the roulette table, and you can see total cost of the bet in the field (2) above the announce bet wheel (3). Click on a bet from the list to place it on the roulette table. A bet can also be placed by clicking directly on a section of the announce bet wheel. Voisins du zero, Orphelins en plein, Orphelins a cheval, and Tiers du cylindre cover groups of numbers by dividing the roulette wheel into four areas. Finales en plein covers all numbers ending in the same digit. Finales a cheval covers all numbers ending in either of two digits.
Neighbor Bets
A neighbor bet covers the numbers located next to a certain number on the roulette wheel. (For example, a 1-number neighbor bet on 25 would include 25 as well as 2, the neighboring number to the left, and 17, the neighboring number to the right.) Click on NEIGHBOR BETS to open the neighbor bet dialog. Bet on 1, 2 neighbors to a certain number by clicking on the appropriate button (2) under the neighbor bet wheel (1). When you move your cursor over the neighbor bet wheel, the numbers corresponding to a neighbor bet are highlighted on the wheel as well as on the roulette table. Click on the wheel to place your bet
Hot/Cold Numbers
For your betting convenience, the five numbers that have won the greatest number of rounds are presented as "Hot Numbers" while the five numbers that have won least are presented as "Cold Numbers".
Autoplay
The autoplay function enables you to automatically play a chosen number of consecutive game rounds without having to place your bet(s) before each round. Click AUTOPLAY to open the autoplay dialog. You can adjust a number of autoplay settings.
• Number of spins: Specify the number of consecutive game rounds you wish to play by typing in a number or using the arrow keys
• Stop if balance +: The autoplay sequence will automatically be aborted as soon as your balance increases with the amount you specify here. (Check the corresponding box to enable this rule.)
• Stop if balance -: The autoplay sequence will automatically be aborted as soon as your balance decreases with the amount you specify here. (Check the corresponding box to enable this rule.)
• Stop if single win: The autoplay sequence will automatically be aborted when the prize you win in a particular round is greater than the amount you specify here. (Check the corresponding box to enable this rule.) You can choose to play all rounds of an autoplay sequence using the same bet(s) by placing your bet(s) on the roulette table, then clicking the START button in the autoplay dialog. The number of game rounds remaining to be played in an autoplay sequence is shown in the game display. Click STOP to abort any autoplay sequence.
