What is French Roulette Gold?

French Roulette Gold by Evolution Gaming is a single-zero European wheel with one structural addition: the La Partage rule, which applies to even-money outside bets when zero is the winning number. This rule halves the house edge on even-money bets from 2.70% to 1.35% -- the lowest house edge of any standard roulette variant available live.

La Partage Rule

La Partage ("divide by two"): When the ball lands on zero, players who placed even-money outside bets (Red/Black, Even/Odd, 1-18/19-36) receive half their stake back instead of losing the full bet. A $200 bet on Red that loses to zero recovers $100. Inside bets and non-even-money outside bets (Column, Dozen) are not affected by La Partage -- they lose in full on zero.
