The Differences between Roulette Wheels

The first big difference will depend on whether the roulette wheel has been designed for playing American roulette or European roulette. The layout of the numbers on the wheel rotor will be ordered differently and with the American roulette wheel there is one extra number pocket, that being a double zero -00.
The first thing to note is that with the American game the extra number will worsen the odds further for the player. It is a fact that a normal player of roulette will lose more when playing the American game compared to the European game. It affects the professional too but in this instance it would merely slightly reduce the players already high winning roulette advantage.
The same design of wheel can be used for either version of the game whereby the only difference are the number layouts as described above.
There are many manufacturers of roulette wheels though probably the best known is John Huxley who have been supplying wheels for many years and are based inLondon. Other manufacturers include companies such as Cammegh and TCS.
Let’s look at the specific physical differences in wheel design between one manufacturer and another.
The Roulette Ball Tracks
The roulette ball orbits around the wheel on a near flat ball track. There are mainly two types of track and they differ in that the shape of the outer edge against which the ball runs will either be vertical as with most Huxley wheels or the outer edge may have curvature as in the case with the Cammegh wheels. Each can be taken advantage of in different ways.
With the curved outer edge more of the wooden part of the wheel is touching the ball, causing more friction and resulting in shorter spins, where the ball has stronger deceleration. The normal length of spin for this type track would be about 10 to 16 seconds depending if the ball were teflon or ivorine.
With the more vertical ball track edge the ball is able to spin more freely and consequently decelerate at a slower rate. The normal length of this type of spin will be about 14 seconds to maybe 21 seconds, again depending on the roulette ball type.
Either situation has its own advantages. For example a ball with a more smooth rolling action and less deceleration is more likely to find the true bias of a any wheel, and so for this type of wheel the pin landing dominance may get very powerful. Another advantage with the longer lasting roulette ball spin is that it enables the system player to take more time over his calculations. Perhaps there may be time to clock a double revolution of the wheel to attain maximum accuracy on roulette wheel speed. Perhaps the downside with the longer throw is that the dealers will tend to call no more bets a little earlier, perhaps making the system player bet with slightly less accuracy.
At the end of the day both types of track work for the system player though the best option will depend on the chosen method and objective of the roulette system.
The Roulette Diamonds / Pins
We usually refer to the metal ball stoppers around the wheel as pins or diamonds. These are designed in many shapes and sizes and in turn this will result in wheels that offer up different roulette ball bounce patterns. In general the more the diamond acts as a ball stopper the shorter the ball will bounce. In recent years there has been a tendency to lower the height of the roulette pins in order to promote a longer and more varied ball bounce.This process has worked to an extent but the problem for the wheel manufacturers is a very tricky one because the type of roulette ball bounce we get will in fact depend more on the air conditions than the shape and size of the pin.
Most wheel designs use an eight diamond configuration, positioned on the wheel in a symmetric layout. 4 pins will normally be vertical and act as the main stoppers and 4 horizontal pins which are designed to mix things up a bit.
In reality the ball hits the horizontal pins far less frequently than the vertical pins and so we generally set up to play on the basis that the ball is brought down more by the vertical diamonds.
The diamonds play a very important part in all winning roulette systems apart from the biased number system which is not affected by the action of the pins, unless of course it was the pin it self that was causing the bias. With my visual system we always set up to play with a major consideration to the type of action around the vertical pins.
The Number Pockets on Roulette Wheels
Roulette number pockets vary in design from wheel to wheel and are usually viewed in terms of their depth and shape. Deep pockets promote a shorter bounce and are being manufactured less and less. Some of you players may well remember the beautiful days of the Huxley MK II wheel which had beautifully deep pockets where once the ball was, in that was it.Nowadays the pockets are deliberately shallow, again to promote a wider roulette ball scatter.
The number pockets are either forged into a one piece metal block as with The Huxley Starburst wheel and my own TCS Scallop wheel ~ or the roulette number pockets are divided by metal frets which act to hold the ball within the pocket. The idea of using a one piece metal block was because much of the number bias over the past century came from a faulty or cracked metal fret.
With the average ball bounce being longer in today’s game, we as players now need to position our bet positions a little further back from the pin than previously.
The Roulette Wheel Number Plate
The roulette wheel number plate is where the roulette numbers are depicted. All wheels look fairly similar in this area of the wheel but players should always be aware that there are some wheels where the number plate is adjustable and can be rotated during the casino downtime. This is not a problem for our system players but could be very significant for someone who was playing a biased number which would potentially be moved secretly to a different location on the wheel.
The Deceleration Rates of Roulette Wheels
There is an interesting conflict over roulette wheel deceleration between wheel manufacturers, casinos and roulette dealers. Both the dealers and manufacturers want wheels designed with such precision that the slow down is almost non existent. The manufactures want to show off their engineering skills by producing a wheel that is as close to a perpetual motion as possible and the dealers just want a wheel that they don’t have to keep pushing while paying out.
The casinos on the other hand wanted to mix things up and cause the system player problems of having to adjust for varying rates of slow down.
In truth any wheel will decelerate more as it gets older and as the balance wears out. However it appears that the manufacturers won the argument in the end because from what I have observed they don’t seem to now input what I call decelerators which were designed to give wheels a different slow down rate. The outcome is that on reasonably new wheels the deceleration of the wheel is a non issue for the system player.
In reality all our systems can be adjusted to suit any roulette wheel deceleration rate.
Owning A Roulette Wheel
For anyone who is planning to take roulette to the max, it is a fairly good idea to own a roulette wheel. There will be endless things that you will want to practice and try out without having to go into a casino, sitting about and feeling pressurized to play, even though you may only wish to practice. Also with your own wheel you can practice at about 10 times the speed. Second hand wheels can be purchased from about £500 but be sure that your purchase is conditional of seeing the wheel in action first. Ensure that the pins are secure but most important of all check the condition of the ball track. There should be a nice smooth track and anything else will not help. Maintenance is simple with regular dusting and some wd40 oil once or twice a year..
Another way of doing this is to rent wheels from a local supplier if possible. The advantage here is that your short term cost will be far less and you could practice on different roulette wheel designs. This was in fact the way I did things at first and then later I purchased the ones I liked.

How to Play Online Casino Roulette
While the rules of online casino roulette will vary slightly depending on whether you decide to play classic, American or European roulette, there are a few basics that apply to every version of the game.The first thing that needs to happen in any kind of real money roulette is the players must place their bets. There are eleven types of bets a player can make. These eleven types of bets are divided into two main categories: inside bets and outside bets.
Inside bets have smaller odds of winning, but offer bigger payouts. Meanwhile, outside bets have bigger odds and smaller payouts. Once the wheel is spun, no more bets can be placed.
An easy way to distinguish these two different kinds of bets is that inside bets are placed on the inside of the table, while outside bets are placed on the outside of the table. Simple, right?
Types of Inside Bets
Straight Up. A straight up bet is when a player places their chips in the center of their desired number. If, for example, you have an undeniable feeling that 10 is going to come up, you would put your bet on the center of the 10. If 10 comes up, you win 35 times your bet. The odds of winning are 35-1, making it a high-risk, high-reward bet.Split. A split bet is when a player places a bet on two bordering numbers. For example, you can place a bet on the line separating numbers 34 and 35. Odds of winning are 17-1, which means should 34 or 35 come up, then you would collect 17 times the value of the wager placed.
Street. Also sometimes referred to as a “Trio” bet, a street bet in real money roulette is a bet on three numbers on a horizontal line. By placing a street bet, you would win if 25-26-27 hit. In order to place this kind of bet, players must place the chip on the edge of the number in the beginning of desired line (i.e. on the edge of 25). Odds of winning: 11-1.
Vertical Roulette Wheel
Corner. A corner bet allows players to bet on 4 numbers at once in the form of a square. If you were to put your chips in the center between 8-9-11-12, and any one of those numbers hits, then you collect 11 times what you wagered.
Six Lines. The easy way to explain this type of bet is to think of it as two Street bets combined into one. Just like a street bet, players place their chips on the edge, but rather than place it at the center of the number, they must put it on the intersecting line to indicate they want to place a bet on all six. Odds of winning: 5-1.
Types of Outside Bets
Vertical Roulette Wheels
1 to 18. As you might have already guessed, a 1 to 18 bet is a wager that the number the ball will settle on will be between 1 and 18. In some versions of online casino roulette, this kind of outside bet is referred to as “small”.
19 to 36. Just like 1 to 18, a 19 to 36 bet means that the player is confident the ball will land somewhere between the 19 to 36. This is also sometimes referred to as “big”.
Red or Black. Again, this kind of real money roulette bet is all in the name. Players must choose between whether the ball will rest on a red or a black number.
Even or Odd. Players are betting on the number being either even or odd when the ball finally rests.
Dozen Bets. In this scenario, players are betting on one of three possibilities: 1 through 12, 13 through 24 or 25 through 36.
Column Bets. This kind of bet includes all of the numbers down a vertical line on the table. So, if a player feels confident that the final number will be either 1-4-7-10-13-16-19-22-25-28-31-34, then you should place a column bet on the table’s first column.
Because outside bets offer considerably higher probability of winning, the odds are typically 1 to 1. Payouts will vary depending on the online casino roulette game you play, but starting by placing outside bets is a great way to get a feel for the pace of the game while also building your confidence.
Real Money Classic Roulette
There are many variations of roulette that exist in both land and online casinos, but we would be remiss if we didn’t offer a real money classic roulette option. Nothing beats the classic roulette game, which is why it’s been a staple of casinos around the world since the 1700s. The key difference between classic online casino roulette and the other popular variations you’ll find is that there is only one zero. This may seem like a small, nearly insignificant difference because how much can a double zero make? Truth is, a lot!The absence of a green double zero pocket means that the odds of winning are 1 in 37 versus 1 in 38. Again, this might seem insignificant to newer players, but once you try both our real money classic roulette and our American roulette games, you’ll see that every pocket makes a difference.
Real Money American Roulette
As we alluded to in the section above, American roulette’s distinguishing feature is that it features the double zero. This means that an American roulette wheel is divided into 38 parts. Like the classic version of the game, number 1 through 36 alternate red and black, and the single and double zero are marked in green.Because there is an additional pocket for the ball to land on, American roulette typically offers higher payouts as the challenge of predicting the outcome has a higher degree of difficulty. Again, we know that this might seem like an insignificant difference to players who are new to online casino roulette, but it really does make a difference.
If you are still learning the in’s and out’s of online casino roulette, we recommend that you stick to classic roulette while you get the hang of how the game flows. Once you are comfortable with how the game is played, playing American roulette will be a real test of your savvy and luck.
Real Money European Roulette
The first thing players will notice when they try our real money European roulette games is that, like classic online casino roulette, there are 37 pockets on the wheel. There is only one zero pocket in european roulette, whereas American roulette has two zero pockets.More observant players might also notice that European roulette wheels have a different number sequence. Though this doesn’t typically affect how a player approaches the bets they place, it is worth noting simply because if you are accustomed to the american roulette wheel, you could be in for a rude awakening if you’re not paying close attention.
Another key difference in European roulette games is that there are more specific actions players can take. In European roulette, players can take advantage of the “En Prison” rule, which allows them to have another spin if you place an even money bet but the ball lands in the zero pocket. European roulette also allows players to make “call bets”. These are a type of bet that is announced to the croupier, rather than placing your chips on the betting table as you would with a normal bet.
Which Online Casino Roulette Game is the Best?
This is a question we get asked all the time by players and, unfortunately, we can’t answer that.
