Let’s have a closer look at the number sequences for the two types of roulette wheels and the logic behind them.
This peculiarity of the game forces section bettors to spread their action all over the layout when wagering on specific wheel segments. Also, the numbers are listed in sequential order on the betting layout but are spread out in a seemingly random manner on the wheel. Red always follows black on the wheel, which is not the case on the layout where two red or two black numbers sometimes sit next to each other. The most obvious way of achieving this is through the alternation of the pockets’ color. This hinders more observant players from predicting in which pocket the ball will land. It is done deliberately to ensure the ultimate randomization of results.
Make no mistake – this is not a coincidence. Upon closer inspection, aspiring roulette players will undoubtedly notice there is a huge difference between the wheel and the betting layout on the table. Most roulette players focus solely on the table layout when making their bets without taking into consideration the numbers’ arrangement on the wheel. People who approach the roulette table for the first time sometimes fail to take notice of one very crucial detail.
