Depending on the type of roulette you play, the number of numbers in the wheel will change. The European wheel has 37 numbers while the American wheel has 38 numbers. The difference is in the layout of the wheel. The European wheel is more balanced and has a lower house edge.
The American wheel is considered less balanced than the European wheel. Despite this, the American wheel has more exceptions to the layout. The layout is designed so that the odds are balanced as much as possible. The layout has the low numbers (1-18) and the high numbers (19-36).
The layout of the wheel is not random. Roulette players usually bet on numbers that haven’t come up in a while. This can reduce the payout. However, the payout is still the players’ property.
The American roulette table has a double zero area and a ‘0’ area. The ‘0’ is located in a green pocket. The double zero area is divided into two halves, with one half being all black low numbers and the other half being all red high numbers.
The European roulette table has 18 red pockets and a green pocket for the ‘0’. This is an exception to the standard European wheel layout. The 18 red pockets are spaced out so that there is no low number next to an even number.
The European roulette wheel has a smaller house edge. The odds are also better. However, the layout is a little bit confusing.
