Play procedure

•  Start playing the game of roulette by placing your bet on at least one number

•  Select any number as well as the zero. After everyone placed their bets, the dealer launches the ball.

•  When the ball is spinning you can still place bets. Just before it lands in a roulette slot, the croupier cries 'no more bets'.

•  The croupier pulls off all the losing bets and pays the winners.

•  Roulette winners are the players whose bets are the number that comes up.

The house advantage
European and French roulette tables have a lower house advantage than American roulette. The former advantage is 2.7%, while the latter's house advantage is 5.26%.

The 'En Prison' rule
French Roulette is a single-zero European-style roulette table that incorporates the En Prison Rule. En Prison means in prison. This allows players to keep 50% their even-money outside bets when the spin result is a Zero (Green 0), or take an all-or-nothing chance on the next spin.

The ' La Partage' rule
Similar to the En Prison rule, only in this case when the ball lands on a zero, the player loses half their bet and does not have the option of leaving their bet En Prison for another spin. La Partage roulette rule specifies what happens with the stakes when the zero wins. When this rule applies, the famous "James Bond" bet is not a wise bet.
