Fans of the good old classics will certainly respect NetEnt’s present: making two new rooms with free French roulette available to the players.
Interesting facts regarding the history of roulette:
- In the 17th century, the French physicist, mathematician, and inventor Blaise Pascal experimented with a perpetual movement wheel – a device operating continuously with no external source of charge. The laws of physics undeniably screamed – “impossible,” but being a pioneer and a creator, Mr. Pascal was going against all conventional opinions and sought to defy the odds. Ales, his experiment failed, but the process becomes the genesis of Roulette.
- This initial wheel was missing the ZERO, but later in the 19th century, the King of Monaco, experiencing monetary troubles of his own and of his domain, was advised that with just one simple adjustment- adding a ZERO the wheel will deliver a higher house edge, which in turns will contribute to filling in the kings’ pockets.
- Lastly, at the same time, when the wheel was introduced to the common people and became important to the prosperity of Monaco, gambling was banned as illegal in France- giving one more reason to go and play the French-style Roulette in Monaco.
If you make a few spins, you will most positively enjoy the smooth gameplay and will be convinced of the excellent quality of NetEnt’s game. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to play French roulette by NetEnt for free without registration on our page.

The appearance of French roulette from NetEnt
The two tooms made available by NetEnt in the ‘free French Roulette’ section can be depicted as former glory – ‘classical’; and present-day exclusive- ‘modern’ style.
They are both designed with high-quality graphics and an elegant manner contributing to the specific comfort and enjoyment of the game. In addition, the music pieces are perfectly chosen to support the whole classy or fashionable flair of each room.
- Room N: 1. It has a standard green field, and the Zero is an exception with a bright yellow shade.
- Room N: 2. It has a lighter background than the classical version, and the playing field is grey, but all the numbers are white, and the zero stands out by a rich green tint.
