A great game of chance, roulette was introduced to America by the French, and continues to be one of the more popular casino games there is.
If you want to set up your own game at home, here are some of the supplies you will need:
Roulette Wheels
American style wheels are shown with "0" and "00". All wheels must be precisely balanced. The "0" pocket is between 2 black numbered pockets; colors alternate in both directions ending with "00" between two red numbers (36 numbers plus "0" and "00") for a total of 38 numbers.
A good wheel is often made from hi-tech unbreakable plastic ABS. The dish is cast, machine polished and chrome plated with a ball bearing for the load thrust and a bushing for guidance on the top. The bowl can also be made from solid high polished mahogany.
