There are many variants of roulette available at online casinos. The one that offers the highest return is French Roulette. It is available at all Microgaming online casinos. WinnerCasino.com recommends Jackpot City, Spin Palace and Royal Vegas.

American Roulette offers an average return of 94.75% on all bets. European Roulette offers an average return of 97.30%. French Roulette offers an average return of 98.65% for all even money bets and 97.30% for all other bets. Like European Roulette, French Roulette operates with a single zero but incorporates the unique La Partage Rule. If zero is called on any spin, half of all even money bets are returned to the players. So if you are betting on red/black or odd/even or top half/bottom half it would be unwise to wager on any online roulette variant other than French Roulette.

French Roulette as played in land casinos offers a series of bets referred to as call bets. These are not offered in other land casino roulette variants. These bets are known as call bets because they are not placed on the roulette layout, but the chips are given to the croupier after calling out the bet. Some of the bets are described below.

The neighbors of zero bet covers seventeen numbers which lie on either side of 0 on the roulette wheel. The unit bet consists of 9 chips, which are deemed to be placed as follows: 2 chips are placed on the 0/2/3 trio; 1 on the 4/7 split; 1 on 12/15; 1 on 18/21; 1 on 19/22; 2 on 25/26/28/29 corner; and 1 on 32/35. The thirds of the wheel bet covers twelve numbers which lie on the opposite side of the wheel. The unit bet consists of 6 chips which are deemed to be placed as follows: 1 chip on each of the splits 5/8; 10/11; 13/16; 23/24; 27/30; 33/36. In Microgaming online French Roulette, the player clicks the “Call” button and selects the required call bet from the drop down menu and the entire bet is automatically placed on the layout. Now some of the other online roulette variants offer call bets, but not the La Partage Rule.

One word of caution is necessary for those who want to wager on French Roulette. The numbers on the layout are white in green background. Red and black numbers are not differentiated. However, as the cursor moves over the numbers a text message on the screen reveals the color of the numbers.
