• How to play French roulette and where you can play this version of roulette online. French roulette is basically European roulette with a different table layout, so it's not as different as you.
• Although European roulette is a predominant game in an online casino, it's rare to miss a French Roulette and specific the La Partage rule. Since time immemorial, there's no guarantee of winning a betting game regardless of your experience. In simple words, there's no secret formula to get back your money after placing a bet.

How to Play French Roulette

French Roulette is as easy to play as American Roulette, though the betting board looks a bit different from what you might be used to.

1. Place your chips down on the felt. You can choose anything you want.
2. You can bet on a number by placing your chips directly in a square. Or a combination of numbers by placing your chip on a line that connects multiple numbers.
3. Rather bet on a large combination of numbers? Choose red, black, Pair (even), Impair (odd), Manque (first 18 numbers), or Pass (19 to 36). Or bet on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd dozen by placing your chips on the P, M, or D squares.
4. Happy with your bet? Click the Spin button to set the ball loose. When the ball lands in a numbered pocket, you'll get paid out if that number falls within your bet.

Remember, there's no such thing as AutoPlay with French Roulette. Just like in a real casino, you'll probably want to modify your bet each time based on what numbers popped up.

Game Controls

Chips
To start placing bets on the French Roulette board, just click on your chips and then click on any part of the felt to move your chips there.

Manque
In French, this means 'fail', as in the ball has failed to reach one of the higher numbers. So if you bet on Manque and the ball lands on 1 through 18, you'll win.

Passe
This one is the opposite of Manque. If you bet on the Passe, you're betting that the ball will hit a pocket with the number 19 through 36. In a nutshell, the ball has passed the middle line.

Pair
No, you're not betting on landing on a pair. This actually means 'even' in French. So if you land on a 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on, you'll win. Remember, 0 isn't considered even in French Roulette.

Impair
This is the opposite of Pair. In American Roulette, this would be called odds.

Symbols and Characters

You won't find any fancy symbols or special characters in French Roulette. But now's a good time to get to know the components of the Roulette table.

Inside
Any individual number that you bet on straight up, as in 1 through 36 or the number 0, is considered an inside bet.

Outside
Betting on anything other than a straight up number, or a combination of straight up numbers, is considered an outside bet.

The Board
This is where you place your chips. In a real land-based casino, the board is usually green or red. It looks the same here at Silver Oak Casino.

Ball & Wheel
These two work together to determine the final result of each spin. When you press the Spin button, the ball releases.

Game Rules

There aren't too many rules you need to know about when you play French Roulette, but you should keep these key points in mind:

1. Betting on Pair? Don't get excited of a 0 comes up. Despite what you might have learned in 3rd grade math, 0 isn't considered an even number—at least not at the French Roulette wheel.
2. You can bet on multiple things at once—like evens and red at the same time. But don't bother betting on two squares that will cancel each other out. For example, betting on black and red at the same time will lead to you breaking even each time—unless you hit 0, in which case you lose.

Random progressive jackpot

Win up to 35x Your Bet: French Roulette doesn't come with a jackpot, but you can win up to 35x your bet. Remember, the more numbers included in your bet, the lower the prize. Betting on Pair or Impair, for example, will land you a 1:1 payout if your number comes up. Betting on a straight up number, like 17 on its own, will land you a payout of 35:1 should you actually hit your number. The fewer numbers included in your bet, the greater the chances of you hitting your number.

The Story Behind the Game

French Roulette isn't a play on American Roulette. In fact, American Roulette is just a variation of the original. Believe it or not, French Roulette actually came first. Roulette was invented in France in the 17th century, but because the government of France banned the game, it caught on in Monaco and became popular in the United States first. Today, you can't find French Roulette in a real American casino. But it's available to play 24/7 from your Mac or PC at Silver Oak Casino.

Glossary

You already know the definitions of Manque, Passe, Impair, and Pair, but there are a few other symbols on the board that might not be as familiar. Here's a look at three terms you need to know.

• P – Want to bet on the first 12 numbers in French Roulette? Drop your chips on the square labeled P.
• M – Think the middle is where the money is? Betting on M will pay you out big time if the 13-24 comes up.
• D – Like the last dozen numbers? Drop your chips on the D square to bet on the numbers 25-36, all at once.

French roulette is a game you may have noticed in the casino lobby once or twice, but never actually played. Even though it's the third most popular variant of roulette, you decided to pass on that unfamiliar table design and all those bet names you didn't understand.

But it's not as unusual as you think.

French roulette is a little different to American and European roulette, but it's essentially the same game at heart. So hopefully it won't seem so strange after this quick guide to playing French roulette online.

Online casinos with French roulette.

What is French roulette?

French roulette is essentially European roulette with a different table layout.

Honestly, if you just took a European roulette table and shifted the placement of a few of the betting areas around you would be left with French roulette.

Most of the outside bets have also been renamed to their French alternative, but they all work in exactly the same way. For example, the first 'dozen' bet is referred to as 'P-12', which stands for 'Première 12' or 'the first 12' in English.

The main addition to most French roulette tables is the racetrack betting area. This betting area can occasionally be found on European tables, but it's native to the French version of roulette.

Note: Some online casinos offer a 'French roulette' table, yet they keep the same table layout as the European tables. This just goes to show how European and French roulette are the same on a structural level. The only reason they call it 'French' is because they have added the racetrack bets on the side.

French roulette vs. European roulette table layout.

Here are screenshots of a French roulette table and a European roulette table. Notice how both of the wheels are exactly the same (you can't see it from these screenshots, but trust me); the only difference is in the layout of the betting area:

The French roulette table and wheel.

Bets, odds and payouts.

The french roulette bets explained.

If you've played roulette before, you'll be familiar with all the different types of bets and their payouts already. The only thing you need to get used to with French roulette is the alternative layout and a few different naming conventions.

Here's a table of the differently named outside bets in French roulette and the corresponding American/European bet names.

Note: The red/black and column bets have symbols or icons instead of names, so there's no need for any translations on these outside bets. The same goes for the inside bets.

The racetrack (call bets).

This is a just a brief introduction to the racetrack in French roulette. For a more thorough guide, check out call bets.

They key feature of any good French roulette table is the racetrack betting area. It looks a little something like this:

Jackpot King - Play Fast, Free Fun Games - Build Up Bambles, Spend Your Bambles to Enter Daily, Weekly and Monthly Draws to Win Real Casino Comps that you can use to WIN REAL CASH! Jack casino comps. BJ21 is the premier source for information on blackjack, craps, sports betting, poker and other casino games from expert Stanford Wong. JACK - Casino Offers, Promotions, Comps & Valet. Put JACK Mobile in your pocket! The JACK Entertainment app is free, fun, and allows you instant.

So what's it for?

The racetrack allows you to place bets that cover various sections of the roulette wheel.

There are three main bets on the racetrack. And surprise, surprise – they're in French. With a quick translation though they make more sense:

A diagram to show the wheel coverage of the 3 fixed call bets in roulette.

Voisins du Zero (neighbours of zero)

Covers the 17 numbers surrounding (and including) the 0.

Orphelins (orphans)

Covers the remaining 8 numbers between the two other call bets.

Tiers du Cylindre (thirds of the wheel)

Covers the 12 numbers roughly opposite Voisins du Zero.

Easy enough. The other type of bet you can place using the racetrack is a 'neighbours' bet. This is where the actual racetrack comes in handy:

Neighbours

Covers 5 neighbouring numbers on the roulette wheel.

So if you place a chip on the number 1 on the racetrack, you will bet betting on the numbers 14, 20, 1, 33, 16 adjacently on the wheel. That means you'll be betting 5 chips in total.

Example of the five numbers covered when betting on the number 1 on the racetrack.

This kind of bet is perfect if you want to quickly cover a specific section of the roulette wheel without having the manually place each bet on the table yourself, and you don't want to cover as many numbers as the other call bets.

Note: Racetrack bets are sometimes referred to as 'call bets' as you have to 'call' or 'announce' them at the table when playing French roulette in a live casino.

French roulette house edge.

French roulette is just like European roulette but with a different table layout, so they both have the same starting house edge of 2.70%.

However…

La Partage / En Prison rules.

Some online and offline casinos offer the la partage or en prison rules on their French roulette tables. Both of these rules halve the house edge on all evens bets from 2.70% to 1.35%.

If these rules are in place, they will come in to effect when you have placed an evens bet (e.g. red/black, even/odd) and the ball lands on 0:

• La Partage – You get half of your even-money bet wagers back.
• En Prison – Your evens bet is held 'in prison' for one more spin. You will either win or lose this bet on the next spin as normal – it's just like you're getting another chance.

Online roulette casinos with either the la partage or en prison rule.

Unfortunately, not all online casinos with French tables offer either of these rules. In fact, very few of them do.

Here are the ones I know of that offer either La Partage or En Prison:

Which is best; European, American or French roulette?

Well first of all, American roulette is basically European roulette with a house edge that is almost twice as bad (5.26% as opposed to 2.70%), so that's American roulette out of the question.

It's between European and French roulette. If a European table comes with the La Partage rule, both games are as good as each other.

If you're making inside bets then both games offer the same house edge. It's only when you're making even-money bets that the La Partage rule native to French roulette comes in to help you out.

Tip. The La Partage and En Prison rules are sometimes found on European Roulette, but pretty much always found on French Roulette.

I'm sure the majority of people will prefer the more familiar design of European roulette. Plus, it's not as though those racetrack bets are exclusive to French roulette tables only, as they're found on a bunch of European tables online these days too.

Tip. Racetracks can be found on both the French and European version of roulette.

I'd say there are two main reasons why you'd want to switch to playing French roulette:

1. You prefer the layout.
2. You're patriotically French.

Personally I think it's a cool alternative to European roulette, and I like playing it for a change of pace.
