Roulette Tables: American casinos use two different types of tables:
the standard table and the double-end table. Standard tables have the wheel
placed at one end, whereas double-end tables have two betting layouts with the
wheel situated between them in the center. They include a multi-colored design
with specific number sequences and rectangular spaces for placing bets.
Roulette Balls: The balls used in Roulette are generally made from
synthetic plastic or ivory. Average size is half an inch to three-quarter an
inch in diameter.
Chips: Standard roulette tables use 5, 6 or 7 sets of chips with one
set for each player. The sets are colored differently and consist of 300 chips.
Roulette Wheels: The American and French wheels are the two different
Roulette wheel styles used today. The American wheel contains the 0 and 00
options in addition to 36 numbers. The French, or what is commonly called the
European wheel, also has 36 numbers with the exception of the double 00. The
difference between the two affects the probability of the outcome. The wheel
itself is movable and spun manually by the croupier.
