Differences
There are 38 pockets to the Double Zero Roulette wheel, there are numbers 1 through to 36 with a single 0 and a 00 (double zero). The zeros are placed in green as you’d expect from any roulette game, but they are positioned opposite each other on the wheel.
Another difference is the way the numbers are placed on the wheel – compared to European Roulette wheels, running clockwise the numbers are; 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.
