French Roulette Rules - A Game Of Inside Bets, Outside Bets and Call Bets

By George Smith


Chance is important| when playing Roulette but with French Roulette, which has one less slot than other versions, players have a bigger odds of winning. Players have no control over where the ball will stop on a roulette wheel which has thirty-seven slots representing 36 numbers and one zero in the French version and thirty-eight slots on most USA tables with two zero slots. French Roulette respects the standard European roulette rules, and its arrangement of numbers is different.

Those are the French Roulette rules. The goal of the French roulette is to guess the number where the ball would fall after the spinning stops on the roulette wheel. Most often, the game it's played by eight players placing bets on the table. Then the croupier (French equivalent of dealer) starts the spin and launches the ball. In the end, the ball comes to a stop in one of the numbered slots or pockets of the roulette wheel. The French roulette player who guessed the same number is the winner.

In French Roulette, there are three types of bets, inside bets, outside bets and call bets. For an inside bet, the French roulette player bets on one number or a combination of numbers that are situated on the inside part of the table layout. For an marginal bet, the player bets on numbers in the outside of the table layout or on a combination of numbers and also on colors (red/black). Call or announced bets are of many different types in French Roulette. 'Neighbors of zero' (Voisins du zero), which covers 17 numbers located as an arc on the betting table and 'one-third of the cylinder' (Tiers du Cylindre) which covers twelve numbers in the arc formed between 27 and thirty-three are the two big call bets.

There are 8 numbers situated in mini arcs of the wheel which are called orphelins or orphans. A player covers the orphans with one chip on each number for a bet called Orphelins en plein. For an 'Orphelins a Cheval' bet, a player covers the "orphan" numbers with one chip on one, one on 17 and places the remaining chips on the other numbers. The player wins the bet when the ball stops at the color, number or combination of numbers that he selected.

The following system is the French Roulette Rules on pay outs: For a straight-up bet which is located on one number only, the payout is 35 to one, and the French roulette player collect 36 or 37 without House advantage. A split bet is a two-number bet, an inside bet and is a made on two neighboring numbers. The pay out on this is 17 to 1. A 3-number bet pays 11 to one. This is named street bet, and the chip is located on the outside line at the beginning of the row. A four-number bet is an inside bet on four numbers. Those numbers are in a square layout called corner or square, and this bet pays 8 to one. The payout for a six-number bet is five to one and on the marginal dozen or column, the payout is 2 to 1. Marginal bets pay smaller amounts, and on the marginal even money bets pay 1 to one.
