What Number Hits the Most in American Roulette?

There is no definitive answer to this question as the odds of any given number hitting on any given spin of the roulette wheel are always the same – 1 in 37 (or 1 in 38 if you’re playing American roulette with a double zero). However, some players believe that certain numbers hit more often than others and that by betting on these ‘hot’ numbers they can increase their chances of winning.

The most commonly cited ‘hot’ numbers in American roulette are 17, 20, 28 and 29. Some players also consider 19 to be a hot number.

PRO TIP:American Roulette offers 38 possible outcomes – numbers from 0 to 36 as well as a “00” slot. Statistically, the number that is most likely to hit is 17, since it has the same chance of being landed on as any other number. However, due to its high probability of being landed on, it also carries a higher house edge than any other number.

These numbers do seem to come up more often than others but it is purely down to chance and is not indicative of any kind of bias in the wheel.

There have been numerous studies into whether certain numbers hit more often than others and the general consensus is that they don’t. However, this doesn’t stop people from betting on their favourite ‘lucky’ numbers in the hope that they will be the ones to come up on the next spin.
