The roulette wheel has 36 numbers, 0 to 35. These numbers are not in numerical order, but rather in French alphabetical order.
This is because the French used the alphabet as their numerals system, while the Europeans used the number system. .
The following is an explanation of why the roulette wheel numbers are not in numerical order:
The first number on the roulette wheel is 0. The next number, 1, would be located two positions to the right of 0 on the wheel.
The next number, 2, would be located four positions to the right of 1 on the wheel. And so on through the rest of the numbers.
If we were to place all 36 numbers in numerical order, starting with 0 and going rightward, it would look something like this: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22.35. This is because 18 is two positions to the right of 10 on the wheel and 22 is four positions to the right of 14 on the wheel.
