The image left shows our 8′ roulette in it’s “glory days”. Built in the 1920’s, this table had been around the block! Interestingly though, imagine all the games that this table hosted, those smoke-filled casino halls of yesterday, there’s no telling who all played on it. But don’t fret, this table will live on in a sense – we are restoring the wheel and the table definitely has re-purposing potential.

For us, this table had two main issues: the wheel needed restored and the table was very heavy; not well-suited for a mobile production. In addition, the roulette wheel was incorporated into part of the 8′ playing surface, which was another disadvantage size-wise for the player.

We will be re-fabricating the playing surface and adding an additional separate table for the wheel that “meets up” with the playing area. This will be an over-sized and exciting table.

Our over-sized Roulette Table(s) will be available in THREE SIZES.

  • 78″X42″ overall (w/ 18″ Wheel).
  • 120″X42″ overall w/ Full-size 32″ Casino Roulette Wheel.
  • A whopping 198″ DOUBLE ROULETTE!

This table will also offer high-tech and luxury features will make this table not only the biggest, but the best – we guarantee. We are all about creativity and bringing you BETTER THAN VEGAS is our main focus.

Our original design called for an 8′ playing surface in addition to the wheel table (separate table). We had to abandon this design for 3 reasons:

Overall Bulkiness.

Limited Dealer Chip Sort/Work Area.

Required altering custom layout standard design (we may still do this in the future).

Here is the plan! Photos of the real thing coming very soon. Chick for larger view and have a closer look.

The beauty of this design is in the arrangement. We had to have a ‘wheel table’ that was usable with both large tables and one issue was that a square table, while functional, looked terrible with the 10′ version (typically these have rounded corners). The solution was a player-side oval shape that actually brought the wheel forward and closer to the players (unlike a casino which will set it back for additional security).

And remember, as mentioned, very special features will be available with this table. Some of the features include on-board lighting, chip rail, cup holders and arm rest.

Our over-sized Roulette Table(s) will be available in THREE SIZES.

  • 78″X42″ overall w/ 18″ Wheel.
  • 120″X42″ overall w/ Full-size 32″ Casino Roulette Wheel.
  • 198″ (17′) DOUBLE ROULETTE, Serves 30. Available in 2019 or by advance request.

We were unsure of the manufacturer of this wheel since there where no markings on it whatsoever. We were told by the seller that it was from the 1920’s but that’s about the extent of it.

This wheel had definitely seen better days! The veneer was separating from it’s mahogany core both inside and out, the rim was missing a large chuck of rosewood, it had been dropped more than once and suffered cosmetically from 100 years of wear and tear. Luckily, it spun perfectly however.

~

Unlike modern wheel bowls with one solid piece of wood, this bowl was made up of numerous curved pieces dove-tailed together. There was a larger diameter upper section and a smaller lower section built to fit inside a hole in the table. The upper section was fine but the lower sections were was out-of-whack pretty good and the veneer was buckled and busted.

We really hated to remove the veneer, not all of it was bad, but it had to be done to true-up and stabilize the multi-piece core (plus it would of never have looked quite right). We will re-veneer the apron (inside horizontal surface) as well as around the outside skirts of the bowl which will also provide additional stability.

The antique value of this piece was lost so we’re now calling it a refurbishment instead of a restoration (but wait til you see the finished product!).

Since this is a refurbishment we decided alter the bottom and expand the height.

In order to be a stand-alone unit, it needed a new base (occasionally clients will want to rent just the wheel). We slightly kept with the 2-tier design however in order to retain the ability to place it inside a cutout later if need be.

The new base and lower section will be covered with 1/4″ plywood, adding further stability, and will be refinished along with the upper section (the upper side will be covered with new veneer). The hollow void in the bottom provides for something a little extra that we’ll add later, you’re gonna love it!

About ready for veneer. We still need to fill in all holes for a totally smooth surface for max adhesion. We are also adding another feature to the bowl (and not the addition from above, something else!).


The veneer actually went easier than planned. We used a piece of scrap as a pattern to trace the shape and cut them with a hobby knife.

The veneer had to be applied in sections, as original, b/c there is a conical shape to the inside of the bowl. In addition, using clamps was difficult b/c of the slant. The solution was shims screwed through the ball diverter holes along with some temporary holes that will be filled in later. This approach gave us a long-lasting TIGHT bond (esp since we always use LOTS of glue).

Getting close! Notice the repaired bowl rim and completed veneer!! Ready for one more piece of veneer on the side and it’s ready for primer.

First coat of primer, hope you’re as excited as we are!

First base coat (more putty, sanding and clear coat to follow – pin stripping too!).

The wheel head cone insert was also made up of a multi-piece core with veneer and was actually fairly solid, it had however also been dropped.

Aside from being a little dirty, the main damage was to the brass ring that was fused to the outside of the assembly. The worst damage was to #’s 34 & 22 with slight damage to 00,1,29,25&35.

The damaged wood under the numbers will also be removed, the brass re-worked, the wood replaced, the number backgrounds and ball pockets re-painted, a complete set of new number decals applied and the veneer will re-finished to a high gloss. Also a couple of the dividers are missing and need to be re-fabricated and polished but we’ve done this before. Also wouldn’t mind having the turret re-chromed but we’ll see how it looks after a good polishing!

We removed the damaged wood, we were able to chisel out the damage at the cracks to re-attach with glue later. On some numbers we had to remove some additional wood in order to have access to the inside edge of the brass ring. The damage to the brass ring straightened fairly easy.

FIRST ROUGH SPIN

Pls excuse the poor video quality! This video is meant to show how smooth it spins at low speed – This Wheel Spins Beautifully. That was one thing we liked about it, it looked like heck but spun perfect!

FILLER & PRIMER. Please Note, if you are viewing this page for advice, here is our 2 cents: Polyester Filler (Bondo®) will not stick to primer (Kilz®), and we have been told that it will not stick to shellac primer sealer either (but we have not tried that yet). Bondo sticks GREAT to bare wood (as well as bare metal). If you need to coat or “fill in” a void before bondo, use polyester “fiberglass resin” (no wax) or polyester glazing puddy. Most primers will stick to bondo but bondo does not stick to much of anything (esp plastic) except bare wood/metal. In contrast, regular water-based wood filler sticks to just about anything but it less durable than bondo. The instructions on the Bondo can says remove paint etc to bare metal/wood, although some guys say it sticks to epoxy primer but we have not tried that yet. Some also say that less hardener (less heat) yields better adhesion too but we found that to be a fine line between not curing and cures to fast! I have read that one drop of hardener can cure a whole can, yeah but it would surely take a hundred years!

One issue with this unit from start to finish has been the veneer. We had to strip most of it from the bowl but the wheelhead’s veneer was slightly better just a little loose here and there. We lifted loose pieces, allowed them to “break” and then re-glued the broken pieces (should have just stripped the whole thing and re-veneered but the convex curves were fairly extreme so we elected to repair the veneer on the wheelhead.

We elected to use automotive primer and polyester glazing putty (esp since we used bondo as the initial filler). This photo shows the wheelhead close being ready for basecoat!

~

First thing, just to reiterate, the original table “looked” okay but it had to go. We are a mobile entertainment company, and the double 3/4″ plywood construction was DEFINITELY not conducive to mobile – that’s for sure (you ever lift a piece of 3/4 inch plywood? Now imagine two pieces!).

And instead of just building another table (historically we have used single 3/4″ plywood core) we will be fabricating the table with a “lightweight” focus… more to come.

This photo shows design implementation of the SINGLE chip rail but this was quickly abandoned for a DOUBLE chip rail. After all, this table needs to be the Best in the World! Also, as mentioned, high-tech features to come!!

Double Chip Rails ready to be chopped and divided (between cup holders like the above photo).

Like this! You can see why we opted for a double chip rail!!

Getting close! Image shows mostly complete 8′ version that allows for 18″ wheel (shown without additional table for the 32″ wheel; in this version the space for the 18″ wheel will be used for an additional sorting space).

Phase 1 completed! This table allows for use with 18″ wheel.

How did I find roulette near me?

I live in northeast Texas, so it wasn’t hard. I just looked at some of the Oklahoma and Louisiana casinos that were driving distance.

And I didn’t need to use some kind of program to “geolocate” casinos offering these games.

Some people might be using a mobile device for this purpose. Others might research on their desktop or laptop first.

I’m going to spend most of this post explaining what I did to find roulette near me, and I’ll also give you some advice about how to find casinos near you.

You can play roulette online at WildVegas Casino for free or real money. They also offer a 350% deposit bonus on your first deposit. WildVegasCasino.

Roulette Near Me in the United States in 2020

Roulette Wheel Near Me

You’ll find more casinos near me in the United States in 2020 than in any previous time in history.

I live just north of Dallas, so the closest roulette casinos to me are located in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

In fact, the best roulette near me is at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.

Not long ago, these games there were electronic games, similar to the games you’d find on a computer. That’s because they had a law prohibiting the use of wheels and dice to generate gambling results.

They changed that law last year, and now the Winstar offers real roulette with a real spinning wheel and a real metal ball.

The only thing that’s a drag about the game here is that they charge an ante — at least, they CALL it an ante.

It can’t really be considered an ante, though, as an ante is a forced bet.

You can’t consider the ante at the Winstar a bet at all, though, because the casino always keeps it — whether you win or lose.

This ante has a dramatic effect on the house edge which changes based on how much money you’re betting.

The next closest roulette near me is at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma.

I understand that they charge a so-called ante, too.

What Should You Do When You Find a Nearby Casino?

I suggest you try out the best roulette strategy you can find at whatever casino is near you.

Here’s the thing, though:

None of these strategies are effective at beating the game in the long run. The house edge in roulette is a function of the payouts for the various bets and the odds of winning those bets.

Most wheels have 38 potential outcomes. This means the odds of picking a single number correctly are 37 to 1.

But that bet pays off at only 35 to 1, so over time, you’re almost guaranteed to lose money in the long run.

The only exception is in the short run, but even then, you’ll lose more often than you’ll win.

But half the fun of playing a gambling game is trying to beat the odds.

If you like the game, play the game.

Shake your fist at fate and go for it.

What if There Isn’t ANY Roulette Near Me?

Your best option, if you live somewhere that isn’t close to a casino, is to try an online casino.

I recommend Wild Vegas Casino, by the way. They offer great odds, a big variety of games, and their instant play option means you don’t have to spend any time on a download.

What are the advantages of playing casino games online?

Many of them are obvious. Convenience, for example, is probably the biggest advantage.

At a modern online casino, you can play games without spending a lot of time downloading software. In fact, you can usually play the games from your cell phone or other mobile devices.

You also deal with the same odds as you’d face in a real brick-and-mortar casino.

Sure, the results are being generated by a random number generator, but it’s a simple matter for the programmers to give each number a 1/38 probability of coming up.

You can even use these online games to test your strategies before trying them in a “real” casino.

The Most Common Places to Search for Nearby Casinos

Here’s a list of the 10 biggest metropolitan areas in the United States:

  1. New York
  2. Los Angeles
  3. Chicago
  4. Dallas
  5. Houston
  6. Washington DC
  7. Miami
  8. Philadelphia
  9. Atlanta
  10. Boston

This implies that most of the people visiting this page are actually looking for “roulette near New York, ” roulette near Los Angeles,” or “roulette near Chicago.”

For example, if you’re in New York City and looking for “roulette near me,” you can find a list of casinos near New York on a number of good travel sites, like TripSavvy, for example. Atlantic City casinos are probably your best bet, but the big casinos in Connecticut aren’t far, either.

Where to Find the Best Roulette Games Near You

Different games offer different odds, so the first step to finding the best roulette games is to understand the differences. The lucky thing is that it’s easy to differentiate between the 3 most popular types:

  1. American roulette is the most common game, and it has a green 0 and a green 00 on the wheel.
  2. European roulette is less common but has better odds. It only has a single green 0 on the wheel.
  3. Sand roulette is a game you’re better off avoiding. It has the 2 zeroes that are on the American roulette wheel, but they also have a third 0, usually the logo for the casino.
Sale

You measure how good or bad a roulette game is by the house edge. That’s the percentage of each of your bets that the casino expects to win in the long run.

Here’s how it’s calculated:

Assume you’re betting $100 on every single number on the board. That’s 38 bets on a standard wheel — one on each number.

The casino spins the wheel, and one of those bets is a winner. The other 37 bets are losers.

The bet that wins pays off at 35 to 1.

Your net loss is $200 on a total of 38 bets, or an average of $5.26 per bet.

Since that’s 5.26% of $100, that’s the house edge for American roulette.

With single zero roulette, you’re looking at a house edge of 2.70%.

With triple zero roulette — which I recommend avoiding altogether — you face a house edge of 7.89%.

Some Casinos Are Near Me, But They Don’t Offer Roulette

I live in Plano, Texas, so when I want to gamble at a casino, I usually drive to the Winstar or to Choctaw, both of which are in Oklahoma.

For a long time, you couldn’t play roulette at those casinos. In fact, even when they introduced roulette to the casinos, it wasn’t the same kind I was used to. They used a deck of cards to determine the result of each spin, and there was a video game that showed an animation of a spinning reel that was triggered by which card the dealer drew.

The odds were the same, but the means of determining the outcome were different.

Here’s why:

In states with tribal casinos, the tribe has an agreement with the state regarding what kind of casino gambling is allowed there. For years, in Oklahoma, you couldn’t use spinning wheels or dice to determine the outcomes of gambling games.

They’ve since changed their rules about that.

You still have to pay a fee for each bet, though, which is an entirely different matter.

The Roulette Nearest Me Is on My Computer, Though

I’m a big believer in playing casino games on the internet. I don’t know many people who could get closer to a roulette game than just walking into their home office, sitting down at their computer, and booting up a casino over the internet.

For a long time, the overwhelming majority of online roulette games were driven by random number generator programs and animations. They were more like slot machines than roulette games, at least in terms of how the outcomes were determined, The probability remains the same, though.

Now, though, live dealer casinos are becoming more common. At these kinds of casinos, you can actually play roulette over a webcam with an actual live dealer.

A lot of gamblers feel more comfortable with the nature of these games than they do the games that entirely virtual. Others just like the pretty women they hire as dealers.

Live dealer roulette on the internet is definitely worth a try if you’re having trouble finding roulette near me.

Conclusion

That’s how I found roulette near me, and that’s how you can find roulette near you.

Winning is another matter. Roulette’s a hard game to win just because of the difference between payout odds and the probability of winning. I cover that subject in other posts on this blog.

American Roulette Wheel Numbers

If you don’t live close to a casino offering roulette, I definitely suggest looking at online roulette games like the ones available at Wild Vegas Casino.
