Now that you have discovered Live Roulette online, it's time to examine one of the three popular variants: French Roulette.

French Roulette is one of three common versions of this popular game. The other two are European and American.

Tips for Playing French Roulette Online

Play at online casinos that are fully-licensed and regulated.
Look for tables that offer low betting limits, especially if you’re just starting out.
Sit in on a few rounds of the game before you begin placing bets.
Play within your limits and always keep a levelhead.
Check the table’s information to ensure that the La Partage and En prison rules apply.
Place even money bets to benefit from the lowest house edge.

When it comes to licensed and regulated live casino sites offering the French Roulette variant, some of the best include LeoVegas and Unibet.

The French roulette wheel is different from the American version in that it features 37 numbers, from 0 to 36, in red, black and green pockets. The American version features 38 numbers.

With the French variant, the digits appear in a non-consecutive order, where each pair of odd numbers is followed by a set of evens. The number sequence on a single-zero wheel is:

0-32-15-19-4-21-2-25-17-34-6-27-13-36-11-
30-8-23-10-5-24-16-33-1-20-14-31-9-22-18-
29-7-28-12-35-3-26
