French Roulette

French RouletteThere are many different ways to place roulette bets in French Roulette. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution. The payouts for all bets are listed in the “Winnings Table” below. In French Roulette you can place both Standard and Announce Bets, described below.

Standard Bets

Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution. Payouts for all bets are listed in the “Winnings Table” below.

Plein (Straight Up)

An inside bet on a single number. The chips are placed entirely in the middle of a number (including 0) on the Roulette table.

Cheval (Split Bet)

An inside bet on two neighboring numbers, either on the vertical or the horizontal direction. The chips are placed on the line that divides the two numbers.

Transversale Pleine (Street Bet)

An inside bet on three numbers on a single vertical line (a street). The chips are placed on the lower edge of the board, at the end of the corresponding street.
A bet on three numbers 0, 1 and 2 or 0, 2 and 3 is a special Street Bet. The chips are placed on the T-section where the three numbers meet.

Carré (Corner Bet)

An inside bet on four numbers. The chips are placed at the cross where the four numbers meet.

Transversale de Quatre (Four Bet)

An inside bet on the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3. The chips are placed on the lower edge of the board, at the end of the line between 0 and the first row.

Transversale Simple (Line Bet)

An inside bet on six numbers (two neighboring streets). The chips are placed on the lower edge of the Roulette table, at the T-section where the two streets meet.

Colonne (Column Bet)

An outside bet on all twelve numbers on any of the three horizontal lines. The chips are placed to the left side of the Roulette table, in one of the three unlabelled boxes next to the column. If one of the numbers in the selected column is hit, the payout is 2:1. 0 is a losing number.

Douzaine (Dozen Bet)

An outside bet on the first (1-12), second (13-24), or third group (25-36) of twelve numbers. The chips are placed in one of the boxes marked “P12″, “M12″ or “D12″. If one of the selected 12 numbers is hit, the payout is 2:1. 0 is a losing number.

Rouge/Noir (Red/Black)

An outside bet on the outcome of a particular color, either red or black. The chips are placed on the red or black betting area on the Roulette table. If the selected color is hit, the payout is 1:1. If the outcome is 0, you get half your bet back (for further information, see the La Partage Rule, below).

Pair / Impair (Even / Odd Bet)

An outside bet on the outcome of either an even or an odd number. The chips are placed on “PAIR (Even)” or “IMPAIR (Odd)” on the Roulette table. If the selected outcome is hit, the payout is 1:1. If the outcome is 0, you get half your bet back (for further information, see the La Partage Rule, below).

Manque (1-18) / Passe (19-36) (Low / High Bet)

An outside bet on whether the outcome of the next spin will be low (numbers 1 to 18) or high (numbers 19 to 36). The chips are placed on “MANQUE (1-18)” or “PASSE (19-36)”. If the selected outcome is hit, the payout is 1:1. If the outcome is 0, you get half your bet back (for further information, see the La Partage Rule, below).

Winnings for Announce Bets

Chip Covers Pays Description of returns
1 number 35 to 1 The winnings also depend on the number of chips involved in the bet. For example, in the case of Finales a Cheval 9/10, four chips are placed to cover 9, 10, 19/20, 29/30, If 9 or 10 is hit, the return is 35 + 1 – 4 = 32 chips. If 19, 20, 29 or 30 is hit, the return is 17 + 1 – 4 = 14 chips.
2 numbers 17 to 1
3 numbers 11 to 1
4 numbers 8 to 1

Winnings for Neighbor Bets
The winning number always pays 35 to 1. The return, however, depends on the number of chips involved in the bet. If, for example, the bet is placed on five consecutive numbers 11-30-8-23-10, it involves five chips. If one of the numbers is hit, the return is 35 + 1 – 5 = 31 chips.

La Partage Rule
The game uses the La Partage rule. According the rule, you lose only half of your even-money bets when the spinning result is zero.
