Knowing the roulette wheel layout is key to understanding how to play roulette and finding the right roulette game. The numbers on the wheel impact the risk level of your game and your odds of winning, so building a strategy requires understanding this information.

We outline the roulette wheel layouts for different game variants and explain how each factor impacts your game. Learn how to perfect your roulette game at Fruity King. 

Roulette Game Rules

In a game of roulette, your objective is to guess which of the wheel’s pockets the ball will land in and bet accordingly. The betting table offers plenty of options, separated into two main categories: inside and outside bets. These terms refer to their positions on the table layout.

Roulette wheels come in different configurations, depending on the game variant, significantly impacting your play.

Roulette Wheels for Different Game Variants

The most common roulette wheel is the European roulette wheel. This is also the same wheel used for the French version of the game. 

European Roulette

A European roulette wheel has 37 pockets, including a green zero pocket and the numbers 1-36, which are evenly split between red and black. 

The pockets are not in sequential order but are ordered to give an even distribution of high and low numbers and avoid clusters of consecutive numbers. The numbers alternate between red and black. 

American Roulette

In American roulette, there is an additional pocket on the wheel: the double zero. This greatly impacts the house edge, making for a higher volatility game. 

American roulette wheels have 38 pockets, numbered 0, 00, and 1-36. The zeros are green, and the remaining numbers are black and red.

The number distribution on an American roulette wheel is different. It is less symmetrical, which can give the impression of more random outcomes, but in fact has no impact on the results.

The table below summarises the differences between the most common types of roulette, including mini roulette, which has a smaller wheel and fewer betting options.
