French Pride and French Roulette
The French pride themselves on everything this is especially true when it comes to such French things as French food and French games like roulette. The consequence of this pride is that Frenchmen always seem to have a fanatic loyalty to proving their superiority. For example, French cooks will out do themselves to make the finest French food. This is true of the French roulette wheels as well. The French utilize the roulette wheel which is commonly called the European wheel. This wheel is better for the player as there is only one zero on the wheel (hence a smaller house advantage and more wins for the player!). A special French rule of La Partage is employed whereby even money bets get half their wager back when the wheel lands on the zero. This is true for all even money bets (Odd, Even, Red and Black). Again, this rule is a favorable one for the player and serves to decrease the house advantage.
French Roulette in French
The big difference between French roulette and other roulette games is not only in the player odds but also in the aristocracy of the game. Whereas roulette in America was a game played by a wide diversity of shady characters and thus became a fast gambling game replete with cheaters, French roulette was a game of aristocracy. As a result, French roulette is played in a more relaxed and aristocratic style. Of course, all these issues of French roulette bear a concomitant and nearly unavoidable price. French roulette is played in French and the various special bets which the French use are all in French as well. This minor set back is something that has not deterred many players from playing the game and enjoying it thoroughly. Fortunately for us non-French speakers, today's online games have solved this minor problem. The online roulette games often provide adequate explanations in other languages and the selection for special bets is from a pull-down chart so that everyone can enjoy the finest games of the "King of Casino Games".
