French Roulette
The object of the game is to predict where the ball will come to rest on the Roulette wheel. The Roulette wheel consists of numbers 1 through 36, alternately colored red and black, plus 0, which is green.
To play the game:
- Click on a chip of the desired value to select it.
- Place your bet by clicking on a number or betting area on the Roulette table. Every click on the betting area adds one chip of the selected value to the bet.
- The minimum and maximum bet limits are dependent on your VIP level.
If a bet is below the minimum limit, a message about an insufficient bet is shown and the respective chips on the table are highlighted three times. For detailed information on bet limits for all positions, hover or click on the limits sign on the table.
- Place a Neighbor Bet or an Announce Bet from the corresponding menu.
To place a Neighbor Bet:
- Open the Neighbor Bets panel by clicking the Neighbor Bets button in the lower right of the game window.
- On the opened panel, select the desired number on the Roulette wheel.
- Choose the desired number of neighbors on both sides of the selected number by clicking the respective number button (1, 2, 3 or 4) in the array under the Roulette wheel model.
- The Numbers field displays the numbers involved in the Neighbor Bet.
- The Total Bet field displays the total Neighbor Bet – the sum of bets placed on each number involved in the Neighbor Bet.

To place an Announce Bet:

For further information on Announce Bets, see the
French Roulette Rules.
- On the opened panel, choose the value for the desired Announce Bet by clicking on the field corresponding to the Announce Bet. Each click increases and each shift-click (hold down the Shift key and click) decreases the value by the chip currently selected in the main game window.
- A bet of the chosen value is placed on each bet position involved in the Announce Bet. Note that when placing the Voisins du Zero bet, the bet value is doubled on the positions where 2 chips are placed.
- The Roulette table model shows the numbers involved in the Announce Bet.
- Several Announce Bets can be placed for one spin.

- All additional betting options and corresponding payouts are explained in the
French Roulette Rules.
- To increase the bet by another amount, select another chip and click on the desired betting area.
- Shift-clicking (holding down the Shift key and clicking) on the betting area removes one chip of the same value as the selected chip from the bet, or the entire bet if the selected chip is greater in value than the bet placed.
- You can place several chips into different betting areas simultaneously.
- Click Spin to set the ball spinning after you have placed your bets. Clicking Clear Bets removes all the placed bets from the table. After a spin, click Rebet to place the same bet as during the previous spin, and Spin to set the ball spinning.
- The winning bets remain on the table. You can remove them like any other bet or leave them on the table for the next round. Betfair Casino may disable this feature for a table. If it is disabled, then the winning bets are returned to you together with your winnings.
