Online casino roulette rules
Online roulette rules aren't very difficult to follow.
The first thing you should know is how the table minimum works. If you are playing at a table with a $5 minimum, you are required to place $5 on each of your outside bets, and/or a total of at least $5 on your inside bets (inside and outside bets are explained in a second). So if you play red/black, even/odd or low/high, you must place the table minimum for each and every bet. On the other hand, you could place 5 different inside bets for $1 (specific numbers or combinations of numbers).
The player odds in French roulette are the same as in European roulette (only one zero roulette) and better than the odds in American roulette (two zeros roulette). The players loose only 50% of their even-money bets when the outcome is zero, known as the 'La Partage' rule.
The 'En Prison' rule
A roulette rule applied to even-money bets only, and by some casinos (not all). When the outcome is zero, some casinos will allow the player to either take back half his/her bet or leave the bet (en prison = in prison) for another roulette spin. In the second case, if the following spin the outcome is again zero, then the whole bet is lost.
The 'La Partage' rule
The la partage roulette rule is similar to the en prison rule, only in this case the player loses half the bet and does not have the option of leaving the bet en prison for another spin. This refers to the 'outside' even-money bets Red/Black, High/Low, Odd/Even and applies when the outcome is zero. Both the La Partage and the En Prison roulette rules essentially cut the casino edge on the 'even-money bets' in half. So a bet on Red on a single-zero roulette table with the la partage rule or the en prison rule has a 1.35% house edge and one on a double-zero roulette table has a house edge of 2.63%.
