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

By George Smith


Chance is important| when playing The game of roulette but with French Roulette, which has one less slot than other versions, roulette players have a bigger chance of winning. Roulette players have no control over where the ball will stop on a roulette wheel which has 37 slots representing 36 numbers and one 0 in the French version and thirty-eight slots on most USA tables with two zero slots. French Roulette follows the standard European rules, and its placing of numbers is different.

French Roulette rules are a little different, but the aim of the game is the same and players are expected to guess the number on which the ball will fall when it stops spinning on the roulette wheel. Usually, there are up to eight French roulette players placing their bets on the table. The croupier or dealer starts the spin and launches the ball. The ball eventually comes to a stop in one of the numbered slots on the roulette wheel and roulette players who predicted that numbers are winners.

French Roulette allows 3 types of bets, called inside bets, outside bets and call bets. When a player makes a inside bet means that the roulette player bets on one number or a combination of numbers appearing on the inner part of the table layout. Likewise, an outside bet means that the roulette player bets on the marginal of the table layout and bets on colors (red/black) or on a combination of numbers. Call bets or announced bets, as they are many times named in French Roulette, are of many different types. The two big call bets are 'Neighbors of zero' (Voisins du 0 ) covering seventeen numbers located as an arc on the roulette table, and the other one is 'one-third of the cylinder' (Tiers du Cylindre) covering twelve numbers in the arc formed between twenty-seven and thirty-three.

Eight numbers situated in mini arcs of the wheel are called orphelins, which is French for orphans. Betting on these numbers is called 'Orphelins en plein'. A bet covers the orphans with one chip on each number and "Orphelins a Cheval" covers the "orphan" numbers with one chip on one, one on seventeen with the rest of the chips on the other one numbers. A player wins the bet if the ball stops at the color, number or combination of numbers that he is betting on.

These are the French Roulette Rules for pay outs: A bet on one number is called a straight-up bet, and it pays thirty-five to 1. A winner is able to collect thirty-six and with no House advantage, he should collect 37. A two-number bet is an inside bet that is made on two adjacent numbers. This is named a split bet, and it pays seventeen to one. A 3-number bet which is named street bet pays 11 to 1. The chip is placed on the outside line at the beginning of the row. A four-number bet is an inside bet on four numbers that are arranged in a square layout named corner or square. This bet pays 8 to 1. A six-number bet pays five to one and a bet placed on the outside dozen or column pays 2 to 1. Outside bets pay lower amounts than inside bets, and a bet on the marginal even cash bets pay one to one.
