French roulette

French roulette is a variation of the game of roulette, which gained popularity in the years following the French Revolution. If we are to translate the term ”roulette”, we will get ”little wheel”. The game itself, as we already noted, represents an entertaining gambling activity, which is considered to have a formidable potential for gains.
French Roulette versus American Roulette
Played quite frequently at casinos in Monte Carlo, French roulette is a bit different than the other roulette variations we already discussed, because it features a unique table layout. In addition, in this casino table game players are faced with the lowest house advantage of any other roulette variation, as due to one additional game play rule, the edge is reduced to 1.35%.
The game is played on the standard European wheel, which has 37 divisions, where numbers from 1 to 36 and 0 can be found. Numbers from 1 to 36 are alternately colored in red and black, while the single zero is marked in green.
If we are to compare the French and the American roulette variations, we should note that the American roulette table shows both a single zero, and a double zero, while the French table shows only a single zero. What is more, all the numbers on the French table are white in color, while all numbers, excluding the zero and the double zero on the American roulette table are colored either in red or in black.
Another distinction between the two variations is that the numbers on the French and the American roulette wheels are located in a different manner.
Last but not least, the position of the outside betting field on the American and the French roulette tables differs. The outside bets on the American variation are usually placed on the left side of the table layout. The outside betting field on the French variation is split in two and located along both sides of the table layout. Each one of the outside bets has its French moniker visualized on the table, while, at times, its translation in English is also visualized right below the French name.
