Roulette Table Numbers
Ever wonder how many numbers there are on a roulette wheel? Interestingly, it all depends on the specific version of roulette. Online roulette numbers total 38 on the American wheel and 37 on the European version.
The American roulette wheel version features 38 pockets, including the numbers ranging from 1-36, plus zero and the double zero (00). The extra green slot that’s labeled (00) gives this roulette version the highest house edge of 5.26%. The numbers on the American wheel table face outside and seem to be more structured in that. There’s no need to feel overwhelmed when you look at all the different betting options on a roulette table. When you break it down, it’s actually pretty straightforward. Roulette bets are split into two groups: inside bets and outside bets. This simply refers to where the bets are placed on the table.
Why the difference? The American version of roulette adds a double zero, increasing the casino's house edge to a hefty 5.26%. However, European version doesn't feature the 00, which reduces the house edge to a more reasonable 2.7%.
Whether you prefer playing American, European, or French roulette, among the most frequently asked questions, particularly by new roulette players, is how best to choose the appropriate bets, and what number does roulette go up to in these popular roulette versions.
While it is true that the roulette wheel (at least in theory) should be able to deliver any number on every spin of the wheel, many experienced roulette players believe some numbers are stronger than others.
Let’s take a look at some key roulette facts and figures to see whether this is true or not.
