American Roulette Wheel – The Structure
The American roulette wheel contains 38 numbers, which includes 0, 00, and 1 thru 36. The particular American roulette wheel differs from its European cousin due to its double-zero arrangement.

Manufacturers of the American roulette wheel have ordered the actual numbers in a way that optimum mathematical balance can be accomplished in between black and red, high and low, and even and odd.
American Roulette Wheel – The actual Set up
Inside the American roulette wheel, the actual red as well as black numbers will be alternated in order that all of red figures are facing the black figures. The odd as well as numbers are alternated as well, but generally with two odds followed by two evens. Each and every odd number in the wheel is positioned opposite to another greater even number. And finally, the actual numbers on the roulette wheel come in pairs by means of one number between them. When you add up the pairs, you generally get 37 or perhaps 39 and once you sum up all the 38 numbers, you get 666.
To avoid confusion, this zero and the double zero on the American roulette wheel are put with green-colored pockets.
