Roulette wheel etiquette - Las Vegas roulette

American and European roulette wheels

There are two types of roulette wheel which can be used - the European wheel and the American wheel. What separates the European and American wheels is that the American wheel has a single zero and a double zero, whilst there is only one zero panel on a European roulette wheel. Another aspect to think about is that if using an American-designed roulette wheel the numbers opposite of each other are in fact paired. The European roulette wheel it has been proven, is a better bet for the roulette player compared to the roulette wheel used in America. Even though efforts have been made to tilt roulette wheel odds in a punter's favour, such as trying to use laser scanning equipment to predict where the ball would land, none of the plans were a success over a long time period.
