French Roulette- The Original Way to Play
Many casino players are unaware that the game of French Roulette is the most traditional form of roulette out there. After all, Roulette is a French term for what was originally a French game, introduced to the people of France in the 18th century. Although there have been many variations in this classic game over time, playing traditional French Roulette is much the same as playing some of the more common versions we have today.
The French Roulette Wheel
The focal point of a game of French Roulette is the red and black roulette wheel. This wheel is the same wheel you'll find in a game of European Roulette. Numbers 1-36 are printed along the circumference of the wheel on alternating red and black slots. The number zero stands out on a background of green.
Playing French Roulette
As the game begins, the players place their bets on the roulette table. This table is divided into two parts. One side of the table is printed with numbers 1-36 in three rows of twelve numbers. The other side is dedicated to different betting options. Probably the most significant difference in a game of French Roulette is the appearance of this table. A French Roulette table is usually just one solid color, rather than the more familiar green, red, and black, and the wording on the table is written in the authentic language of French.
Placing bets becomes slightly more challenging when attempted in a foreign language. All you have to do to achieve French Roulette clarity is to learn the translations of a few important terms.
In the game of Roulette, you can place bets on:
- All even numbers- "Pair"
- All odd numbers- "Impair"
- Numbers 1-12-"Premier 12"
- Numbers 13-24-"Moyenne 12"
- Numbers 25-36-"Dernier 12"
These are a few of your choices for placing what is called an outside bet. If you decide to place an inside bet, just pick up to six adjacent numbers on the Roulette Table.
The next step in French Roulette is for the dealer, or croupier, to give the roulette wheel a spin in one direction while spinning the ball around the wheel the opposite way. As the wheel slows, the ball falls into one of the numbered slots. If you've manage to pick a winning number, then you've won your game of French Roulette!
La Partage
French Roulette boasts a distinctly advantageous rule, called La Partage. La Partage means that if you've bet on all the evens, and the ball falls into the zero slot, you get to keep half of your bet. This differs from European or American Roulette where landing on zero generally means you lose your bet entirely.
Get back to Roulette roots and try playing a game of French Roulette. With simple to follow rules, and unique player advantages, French Roulette is one of the most enjoyable classic casino games out there.
