When all bets have been placed, a dealer (the croupier) spins the Roulette wheel and then rolls a ball in the opposite direction the wheel is spinning. After which, the ball will eventually fall into one of 37 possible numbered colored pockets on the wheel.
Online French Roulette is one of the easiest games to play, as the majority of the action is performed by the dealer, who manages the bets and operates the wheel. Additionally, all bet types that appear on the table itself are written in French. A translation of each term is given below.
Overall, there are a total of three possible types of bets to make in French Roulette: Numbered Bet: Wager on what individual number or number range the ball will fall into.
Color Bet: Wager on whether the ball will fall on a red or black number.
Odd or Even Bet: Wager on whether the ball will fall on an odd or even number.
Of these bet types, there are multiple variations in how wagers can be made, extended into two additional types of bets known as Inside Bets and Outside Bets. Here are the differences between the two: Inside Bet: Single number, split, street, corner, five-number, double street
Outside Bet: Red or black, odd or even, 1 through 18, 19 through 36, dozens, columns
