Licensed roulette wheels are not rigged: they are tested and balanced, and casinos log results so that a biased wheel would show up in the numbers. Balls are not weighted; they are made to a standard size and material, and a worn wheel is replaced rather than exploited. Roulette machines use a random number generator that is checked in the same way and cannot be fixed by the casino. Under licensing regulations there are no illegal bets on the layout itself, although devices that try to predict the ball are banned nearly everywhere.
Roulette odds come straight from the wheel. On a European wheel there are thirty seven pockets, so the chance of landing on green is one in thirty seven, and on a double zero wheel one in thirty eight. Red and black each hold eighteen pockets, and neither color wins more often over time; a streak of one color says nothing about the next spin. The color rules are simple: zero counts as neither red nor black, so even money bets lose when it lands.
