Boule or la boule


Explanation:
Am no expert but this is what I found:

Boule or La Boule is a simple and fast game that is similar to Roulette, popular in French casinos and can now be played online. The game features a table and a wheel with only 9 numbers and 3 different colours. The wheel is spun and a small rubber ball bounces around the wheel before settling into one of the coloured holes to determine the outcome. For more info see: http://www.ildado.com/roulette_table_layout.html

Explanation:
It didn't take much more than a quick Google search to find loads of references to this on the 'Net.

Here's one site that has FR and EN versions (albeit poorly translated):

And here's another one that looks as if it might be quite useful:
