Of course, playing French roulette in demo mode won’t win you any money, but it is a useful tool for learning French roulette rules.

For customers who love the thrill of a physical casino, we provide a European roulette table experience and American roulette streamed live to your screen.

Again, learning the rules of your French roulette game will benefit you immensely before you join a live game, as roulette etiquette asks that a player does not continually ask questions about their chosen game to the other players.

The Rules Of French Roulette Explained

Next, we shall offer a brief overview of how to play French roulette, the aim of the game, the different types of bets, odds and payouts you can expect to win over time, especially if you hit a lucky streak.

Please remember that playing French roulette should be for its entertainment value. Making bets at French roulette tables adds an element of excitement. However, the house edge will always ensure the casino will win over a longer period. 

The Main Aim of French Roulette

Whether playing at the American roulette wheel, the European roulette wheel, or the French roulette wheel, all roulette games aim to guess which slot the small ball will land when the wheel stops turning. 

During FruityKings NZ’s live French roulette games, the roulette wheel is spun by a live dealer (sometimes called a croupier) in real time. A Random Number Generator software program determines our other French roulette game results, which are independently audited to ensure that all games are true and fair.

How to Make a Bet When Playing French Roulette

• To win, you must guess in which slot the small ball will land when the French roulette wheel stops spinning. 
• When playing live French roulette, you will place your different coloured chips on the bets you wish to make. 
• All bets in a French roulette game use French roulette rules, which vary slightly from the European counterpart, although French and European roulette are very similar.
• All bets are made using the French roulette table layout, with basic bets grouped into inside and outside bets.
• If you are playing French roulette pokies, you will choose your bet size before hitting the Spin button. There is no time limit, which means that you can take your time choosing your money bets.
• When playing our live French roulette, the game will begin once the dealer has called ‘no more bets’ before they set the wheel in motion. New bets can only be placed on a new roulette game.

Explaining The Different Types of Bets, Odds and Payouts When Playing French Roulette

The Difference Between French Roulette and American Roulette

There are a few significant differences between American and French roulette, which we will set out below. 

• The biggest difference between the French and American roulette games is the number of zeros on the roulette wheel. 
• The American roulette wheel has a single zero (0) and a double zero (00), increasing the house edge to 5.26%.
• The French roulette house edge has only one zero (0), cutting the house edge to 2.7%. 
• French roulette also has some unique rules that can cut the French roulette house edge in half again to 1.35% (on an even money bet).
• The numbers of an American roulette wheel usually face out, whilst those on a French roulette wheel usually face in
• You will also see a slight difference between the French table and the American roulette table when playing French roulette. All outside bets are marked on one side of the American roulette table, while the outside bets are split to either side of the French table.

The Unique Rules of French Roulette Explained

If you play either European or American roulette and the ball lands in the zero slot, you will lose all even money bets you have made (red or black, odd or even bets). 

Playing French roulette is slightly different as you don’t automatically lose the real money you have wagered. You get a second chance. The second chance can happen in two ways, described below. 

• Le Partage rule – This is where any losing even-money bet is split evenly between the player and the house, effectively meaning you only lose half of your wager. 
• The En Prison rule – is where any losing even-money bet stays on the table and is put into ‘prison’ until the next spin of the French roulette wheel. The stake is returned to the player if the bet is a winner. 

Please note that different casinos play varying rules, so if you intend to play French roulette, make sure you know the house rules regarding even-money bets before you start to play. 

French Roulette Advanced Bets

For those French roulette players who are more experienced and would like to try something different, there are the announced bets or call bets to try. 

Below are the main announced bets (call bets) in French roulette.

• The neighbours of zero (Voisin du zero) – This bet relates to all numbers on the wheel between 22 and 25 -The bet uses nine chips spread between splits, corner bets and trios of these numbers. 
• The third of the wheel (le tiers du cylinder) – This bet comprises all numbers opposite zero (from 27 to 33). Six chips are used and placed as splits between these numbers.

• The zero game (jue zero) – This bet comprises the six numbers on either side of the zero (and the zero). Played as three splits and a straight bet on number 26.
• Orphans (orphelins) – All eight numbers not included in the above bets make up this bet. You can either play this bet as orphelins en cheval, which costs five chips (four splits and a straight-up bet on number 1) or as orphelins en plein, which costs eight chips as straight-up bets on each number. 
• Finales bets – These bets are created using all numbers ending in a certain number. For instance, 4, 14, 24, and 34. Bets can be placed as finales en plein (a single number) or as finales a cheval (two numbers).

French Roulette FAQs

What is the third of the wheel law in French roulette?

 The law of the third of the wheel predicts that, on average, after playing thirty-seven rounds of French roulette, around two-thirds of the numbers will appear at least one (or more) times. One-third of the wheel will be a no-show. Some players use this pattern to predict where the ball will drop on the French roulette wheel. 

Please note the third of the wheel pattern is one of the main reasons that players, like to have a dozen bets or columns bet as both split the wheel into (almost) thirds. 

How do I win playing French roulette?

Many players use a recognised betting strategy like the third of the wheel law above, whilst other players might choose to bet on a significant date in their lives, like a birthday or anniversary. However, you must always remember that playing French roulette is primarily for the entertainment and thrill of the game, which means that you should never spend money you cannot afford to lose. 

How many numbers are in the game of French roulette?

As in European roulette, the French roulette wheel has 37 numbers (0-36) and a single zero. The American roulette wheel has an extra double zero (00), doubling the house edge. 

What is the smartest bet in French roulette?

The roulette bets with the best odds are outside bets on red or black, odd or even, or 1-18 or 19 – 36. Each bet is an even money bet.

What is the riskiest bet in French roulette?

The riskiest bet in French roulette is on a single number (a straight-up), although it has the largest payout of 35:1.
