American Wheel (roulette)
A roulette wheel that has a total of 38 numbers (0 and 00 and numbers 1-36).
The number sequence is
(clockwise starting with 0): 0, 28, 9, 26, 30, 11, 7, 20, 32, 17, 5, 22, 34,
15, 3, 24, 36, 13, 1, 00, 27,
10, 25, 29, 12, 8, 19, 31, 18, 6, 21, 33, 16, 4, 23, 35, 14, 2. Originally,
the double-zero wheel started in
Europe and the single-zero wheel started in America. But, Europeans liked
the single-zero
wheel better, and Americans liked the double-zero wheel better so they switched.
Today, the American wheel and double-zero wheel are synonymous.
