American Roulette vs. European Roulette
There are 2 main types of roulette that are popular amongst casino players - the American version and the European version.
American Roulette and European Roulette are very similar games and there very subtle differences between the two. The biggest difference between them is that there is an extra pocket (green pocket) on an American Roulette wheel to cater for the double zero, which doesn’t exist on European Roulette wheels.
How to Read the American Roulette Wheel
The American Roulette wheel has 38 numbered pockets, 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. The pattern of the numbers on the American Roulette wheel is more discernible than the European counterpart, and in a clockwise manner, the sequence is as follows:
0, 28, 9, 26, 30, 11, 7, 20, 32, 17, 5, 22, 34, 15, 3, 24, 36, 13, 1, 00, 27, 10, 25, 29, 12, 8, 19, 31, 18, 6, 21, 33, 16, 4, 23, 35, 14, 2.
The wheel is designed to provide a balance between red and black pockets, as well as even and odd numbers. Although the positioning of numbers on a Roulette wheel isn’t random, it’s designed to be difficult for players to determine patterns – so don’t panic if it looks confusing at first.
