- Under: American Roulette Wheel
The American roulette wheel layout consists of thirty-eight pockets that are numbered one through thirty-six, zero and double-zero. During a spin, the wheel is rotated counterclockwise. The dealer then spins a ball clockwise around the outer rim of the wheels outer perimeter. The ball is held flush to this rim due to centrifugal forces that keep the ball on its grooved track as it completes its circuit around the wheel. When the speed of the ball slows sufficiently, it then drops into one of the pockets and the particular attributes of that pocket determines who wins and who loses.

The American roulette wheel layout numbers are arranged in what seems to be a random fashion, but it’s actually a well designed and intricate system that is designed to have the maximum variability possible. The red and black colors alternate between them; the pairs of odd and even numbers alternate between them and pairs of high and low alternate between them. Every odd number has its even successor located directly opposite of it on the wheel.
The American roulette wheel layout of the table is also incredible. The numbers are arranged on the board in a sequential fashion, but the patterns of red, black, high, low, odd, and even create a unique betting system that ensure no bet has an unfair advantage over any other bet on the board. The American table is capable of handling dozens of unique bets and all of these bets have various probabilities of success and yet all of them (Except for one) have an exactly identical house edge of 5.26% percent. This results in a game is is paradoxically systematic and unpredictable at the same time.
The American roulette wheel layout also uses a system of differently colored tokens called chips. This is very different from the European table that uses all the same chips for the individual players. The system used on the American roulette wheel layout allows players to differentiate between each others bets and prevents much confusion. This also presents an interesting contradiction. You may be playing with a dollar chip and the player next to you may be play with a fifty dollar chip. But there is no way to tell the difference unless you saw them buying in.
The American roulette wheel layout is designed in such a way to a accommodate around six to eight players. All you have to do is walk up to the table and lay your chips or cash on the felt, and the dealer will give you the appropriate roulette chips. As with every table game, it’s a good idea to read the upright plastic card next to the dealer. It will have important information about the game and table limits. On each roulette table there is often different restrictions on amounts that can be wagered on the inside and outside of the American roulette wheel layout.
Now that you know the ins and outs of the American roulette wheel layout you can now go and find a game. While I feel that this particular layout allows for a fast-paced and exciting game experience, many people prefer the European table. This is because the European table has a lower house advantage and therefore, has a higher chance to win. But for me, the American roulette wheel layout will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to play for as long as I can.
