Signs of a biased wheel in a game of chance, such as roulette, typically include consistent patterns in the outcomes, where certain numbers or sections appear more frequently than expected over a substantial period. Players may notice that specific areas of the wheel seem to yield results disproportionate to others, leading to questions about the wheel's fairness.

Biased wheels can result from various factors, including manufacturing defects, wear and tear, or improper maintenance. When a wheel is not perfectly balanced or its components are not aligned correctly, it can lead to a bias in the outcomes.
Players suspecting a biased wheel may look for the following signs:
1. **Dominant Diamonds**: If the wheel has physical imperfections such as dominant diamonds (metal deflectors), the ball may tend to hit these areas more frequently, leading to biased results.
2. **Wheel Wobble**: A slight wobble in the wheel can cause the ball to settle in specific pockets more often, creating a bias towards certain numbers or sections.
3. **Deformities or Wear**: Damage or wear on the wheel's surface, pocket separators, or frets can influence the ball's behavior and result in biased outcomes.
4. **Dealer Consistency**: In some cases, biased results can also be influenced by the dealer's spinning technique, such as imparting the same speed or release point consistently.
5. **Statistical Analysis**: Players can track and analyze the outcomes over a significant number of spins to detect any noticeable patterns or deviations from the expected randomness.
It's important to note that casinos are vigilant about maintaining fair gaming practices, and the presence of biased wheels is uncommon due to regular maintenance and security measures. However, if players suspect bias, they should report their concerns to the casino staff for investigation.
