I picked up my five red birds and headed toward the door, passing a roulette table on the way out. I was playing $5/hand Blackjack and as the evening got later, the table switched to $25/minimum per hand. I had a similar story at an Illinois riverboat 20+ years ago. Even a tiny imperfection in the spin can result in a bias, and long-term results will show more of certain numbers. They might be brand new and look really nice, but one spin and you might feel or even hear the spinner rubbing. Other wheels - the smaller ones made for home use - are essentially novelty wheels.

If you multiply the diameter by $100, you're probably close. There are a few out there in good shape in the $2,000 to $3,500 range. Used casino-size wheels are all over the map.

Nice full-size / casino size wheels like this one come up for sale only occasionally.
