A sample round
You bet £1 on the first dozen. The ball lands on 7: your dozen wins and pays £2.
French roulette and la partage
French roulette uses the same single-zero wheel with one extra rule. Under la partage, when the ball lands on zero you get back half of any even-money bet, which halves the house edge on those bets to 1.35%. A similar rule, en prison, holds the bet for one more spin instead. The French layout alone does not guarantee either rule: look for the words in the table's rules panel. Where it is offered, French roulette with la partage is the cheapest way to play roulette.
