French Roulette
The game
Roulette is a game that has been played since the 17th century. It is viewed as the game with the largest chances to win. The players try to predict the ball's final resting-place when the wheel stops spinning.
French Roulette at metro casino is based on international gambling standards. It is played like in Monte Carlo, Baden-Baden, or Vienna. The most important difference between French and American Roulette (called European Roulette at metro casino) is the game table layout and, of course, the better odds!
French Roulette has only the single zero, unlike the American Roulette table, which usually has both a single zero and a double zero. The colours of the numbers on the French Roulette table are white, whereas all numbers except the zero and double zero on the American Roulette table are either red or black. The locations of the numbers on the roulette wheels in the French and American games also differ.
The player odds in French Roulette are much better than the odds in American Roulette with the double zero. When the wheel stops on the single zero in French Roulette, players loose only half of their even-money bets, which are shared with the bank (“La Partage” rule).

Betting
French Roulette offers a large variety of different bets. Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution, as shown in the Winnings table. Whenever you move your computer mouse over the table and the curser touches a possible bet, e.g. IMPAIR, all odd numbers are highlighted.
Plein (Straight up)
A chip can be wagered on any individual number, including zero (0). Place the chip directly on the individual number of your choice.
Cheval (Split bet)
A chip can be wagered on two adjacent numbers by placing the chip on the line dividing the two numbers. A chip can also be placed on the line dividing 0 & 1, 2 & 0, and 0 & 3.
Transversale pleine (Street bet)

Carré (Corner bet)
Corner bets cover four numbers. Place the chip on the cross where the four numbers intersect. You may also wager on 0, 1, 2, 3 by placing the chip on the upper right boundary line of the roulette table between 0 and 3.
Transversale simple (Line bet)
A line bet covers two street bets (i.e. the six different numbers in two rows of three numbers, for example: 4, 5, 6 + 7, 8, 9. Place the chip on the closest boundary line of the roulette table where it is intersected by the line dividing the two rows.
Announce bets
Announces are call bets in French Roulette. There are several types: voisins, orphelins, and tiers. They divide the wheel into four areas. Finals are numbers ending with the same digit, and split finals are pairs of numbers ending with the same digits. Below you see an example of the graphics the game uses to call your announce bets.
Scroll to find the types of announce bets that you would like to place. Next, decide the value of the chips that will cover your announce bets. In the example above, your wager on announce bets is 1 euro multiplied by 9 chips, resulting in a total wager of 9 euros. If you want to increase your total wager by betting 2 euros per chip, simply click on the ADD BET button once for each 1 euro-unit you wish to add to the value of a chip. Click on the DEC BET button if you wish to decrease the amount wagered by each chip by 1 euro.
When you click on the BET button, your total wager will appear on the table. You may increase, decrease, or cancel your wagers at any time before the wheel starts spinning. Once the chips are placed on the table, you will need to pick them up individually to remove them. This is why we recommend that you practice the announce bets in the “practice play” mode before you play the game with real money.
Neighbour bets
Neighbour bets cover numbers located next to each other on the roulette wheel. For example, if you wanted to wager on the number 25 plus the number immediately to the left and the number immediately to the right of 25 on the roulette wheel, you would call a 1-number neighbour bet on 25 that includes the numbers 2, 25 and 17. Below you see an example of the graphics the game uses to call your neighbour bets
Scroll to choose a number and then decide how many "neighbours" of that number (one, two, three or four) you would like to include in your wager. Next, decide the value of the chips that will cover your neighbour bets. In the example above, your neighbour bet is 1 euro multiplied by 3 chips, resulting in a total wager of 3 euros. If you want to increase your total wager by betting 2 euros per chip, simply click on the ADD BET button once for each 1 euro-unit you wish to add to each wagered chip. Click on the DEC BET button if you wish to decrease the amount wagered by each chip by 1 euro.

Once the chips are placed on the table, you will need to pick them up individually to remove them.
