La Boule is a roulette popular in France. The game features 9 numbers and 3 colors of which to bet on. Personally I have only seen it once at a casino in Antibes but it was closed the time of day I was there. However I could tell it is played on a large wooden wheel and from casino literature I know it is played with a rubber ball a little smaller than a tennis ball. The wheel looks like this...
Rules As the above image shows the wheel is divided into 9 numbers, 1 to 9; and three colors, black, red, and yellow. The numbers 1, 3, 6, and 8 are black; 2, 4, 7, and 9 are red; and 5 is yellow. After the dealer calls "Rien ne va plus" (no more bets) he will spin the wheel and ball, the depression where the ball lands determines the outcome.
