physicist, inventor and philosopher. In his quest for the hypothetical machine, Pascal is believed to have invented the roulette wheel, as his studies shared concepts and probabilities inherent to gambling. Accidental or not, Pascal\u2019s invention was a roaring success \u2014 one that was quickly adapted to casino gameplay all across Europe. As the roulette table game took the world by storm, several distinguishing features emerged around the world, creating the three roulette wheels as we know them: the European, French and American wheels. Let\u2019s take an in-depth look at the inner workings of the roulette, the numbers on a roulette wheel and other features that you may encounter when playing this incredible game. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>In this article, you&#8217;ll learn<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the Roulette Wheel<\/li>\n<li>An overview of roulette numbers<\/li>\n<li>What&#8217;s the difference between roulette wheels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"text-transform: uppercase; background-color: #ffdd00 !important; font-weight: 800; color: currentcolor; padding: 15px 30px; width: 100%; border-radius: 8px;\" href=\"https:\/\/energycasino.com\/en#action:user.register\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Roulette_Wheel\"><\/span>The Roulette Wheel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The roulette wheel is designed with several indented pockets, each with its own number and respective colour. How many numbers on a roulette wheel will you encounter? There are two variations to the wheel. The European roulette wheel \u2014 single zero roulette \u2014 comes with 37 pockets on the wheel, numbered zero to 36 and has a 2.70% house edge. On the other hand, the American roulette wheel has 38 pockets, numbered zero to 36 plus the double zero pocket. Since there are more numbers on this wheel and thus more outcomes, the house advantage rises to 5.26%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Table_Layout\"><\/span>The Table Layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The interior betting area has the individual numbers on the layout. The exterior betting area contains boxes for the columns Odd\/Even and Red\/Black, as well as the different groups of numbers that account for all Inside, Outside and Neighbour roulette bets. The inside numbers are arranged in twelve rows of three figures, creating three vertical columns. The \u20180\u2019 and \u201800\u2019 are placed above the columns. In Live Casino games, the layout will be presented horizontally to the perspective of the player; the Inside and Outside bets will be available on the central panel, and the Neighbour bets will be displayed in the rightmost section.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Overview_of_Roulette_Numbers\"><\/span>An Overview of Roulette Numbers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>EUROPEAN ROULETTE<\/strong> &#8211; As noted before, the European wheel has 36 numbers and a single zero on it. The roulette wheel numbers are arranged in the following sequence: <b>0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6, 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3<\/b> and <b>26<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AMERICAN ROULETTE<\/strong> &#8211; The American wheel has 36 numbers too, as well as the zero and double zero. The roulette wheel numbers are arranged in the following sequence:<b> 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<\/b> and<b> 2<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_is_the_difference_between_European_French_and_American_Roulette_Wheels\"><\/span>Whats is the difference between European, French and American Roulette Wheels?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Roulette is a French word meaning \u2018little wheel\u2019. This provides players with a clue as to the birthplace of the roulette table game, which is speculated to have originated back in 17th-century France. Although the history of roulette is not so clear cut, the gameplay certainly is. The objective of roulette is straightforward: players wager on the numbered pockets that they think the ball will land in. The live dealer will spin the wheel, and the winning number will be determined by the ball\u2019s final resting slot. There is a variety of wagers that players can place, ranging from straight up, single-number bets to wagers that cover groups of numbers by row, column, colour, odd\/even and other groupings. Since roulette has gained worldwide popularity over the years, some key differences emerged between European, French and American games. Let\u2019s have a look!<\/p>\n<p><b>LA PARTAGE<\/b> \u2014 it comes from the French word \u2018partager,&#8217; which means \u2018to share\u2019, or \u2018to split\u2019. The rule stipulates that if you place Outside, \u2018even money\u2019 bets and miss because the ball falls on \u20180\u2019, you will receive half of your wager back. When comparing the French and European roulette, the French version has more favourable odds for the player than the European one. This is because la partage lowers the house edge to 1.35% on even-money wagers.<\/p>\n<p><b>EN PRISON <\/b>\u2014 the rule is closely related to la partage and is translated to \u2018in prison\u2019 from French. In this case, if you made an Outside bet and lost since the ball lands on \u20180\u2019, you have an option of either taking half your wager back (la partage) or locking the bet for the next spin. If you take the latter option, the croupier places a marker on your bet to signify that it is imprisoned (thus the \u2018in prison\u2019). The entirety of the bet will be paid out if the next spin is a win for the player; otherwise, the entire wager is lost. For example, a player wagers \u20ac10 on Even and the wheel lands on \u20180\u2019. If you choose not to take advantage of la partage, then the live dealer will then place a marker next to the bet, and the wheel will be spun again. If the outcome of this following spin is an even number, then you will win your \u20ac10 back. If the outcome is an odd number, then the \u20ac10 will be lost. Note that many casinos with European tables do not use la partage or en prison, so make sure to view the rules of the game before wagering.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BASIC_ROULETTE_TERMINOLOGY\"><\/span>BASIC ROULETTE TERMINOLOGY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THE_BETS\"><\/span>THE BETS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Inside bets consist of all the wagers placed inside the betting area, on the numbers or on the lines in between them.

This classic roulette wheel and table layout provide straightforward and entertaining action. The relatively low house edge implies that you are likely to land wins reasonably often but keep in mind that roulette is a game of chance, so winning can never be guaranteed.<\/li>\n<li>FRENCH ROULETTE- French roulette is played on a European wheel, and is only marginally different from other games of roulette, with the main difference being in the rules of play. This French roulette wheels feature the la partage and en prison rules.<\/li>\n<li>AMERICAN ROULETTE &#8211; The big difference between the American roulette wheel and other versions is in the double zero. The American wheel has 38 roulette wheel numbers \u2014 the extra one being the \u201800\u2019. It has a second green \u201800\u2019 slot to accompany the \u20180\u2019 pocket found on the European wheels, which slightly alters the table layout. The American version includes the same outside bet, and the gameplay is nearly identical. When it comes to comparing American and European roulette, the European wheels give the players better odds, as expressed by the lower house edge. Aside from the numbers on the roulette wheel and the increased house edge, there is no difference between American and European wheels.\n<ul>\n<li>Croupier \u2014 the formal term of a casino employee who operates the casino table.
