What Is the Highest on a Roulette Wheel?

In roulette, the wheel is spun and a small ball is released onto the spinning surface. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls into one of 37 (in European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

The object of the game is to guess which numbered pocket the ball will fall into next. Players place their bets on the roulette table layout, which corresponds to the bets that can be made on the wheel.

PRO TIP:Roulette wheels have a total of 38 numbers, including the single 0 and double 00. The highest number on a roulette wheel is 36.

The highest number on a roulette wheel is 36. This is because there are only 37 or 38 possible outcomes when the wheel is spun, and 0 is not a number that can be bet on.

The highest bet that can be placed on a single number is 35 to 1, which means that if you were to bet $1 on every number except 0, you would win $35 if any of those numbers came up.
