French Roulette
European wheel plus La Partage — the lowest house edge.
French Roulette uses the same wheel as European but adds La Partage or En Prison: on a zero you get half your even-money bet back, or your stake is 'imprisoned' for the next spin.
Rules
- 37 pockets
- La Partage: half stake back on 0
