American Roulette Table & Wheel Layout

Wheel Numbers and Sequence

The numbers in an American Roulette wheel are numbered clockwise, with a zero at the top of the wheel and a double zero at the bottom. The sequences are 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 numbers are marked red-black-red-black, and so on. 

Table Layout and Bets

The American Roulette table layout is nearly identical to the European Roulette version, with the addition of the extra double zero. The numbers are laid out in three columns of twelve, with the outside bet options on the outside of the table in bigger writing.

Learn the paytable and odds

This one might sound obvious, but a lot of players do not fully acquaint themselves with the roulette odds and paytable before they wager money. You will want to ensure you know what you are betting on and understand the potential pros and cons of each bet. 

Do not chase losses

One of the biggest traps players fall into is chasing their losses. Practising responsible gambling and knowing when to stop is important. Many players believe that they are due a win, and it is important to remember this is never the case.
