Turret

Roulette

The decorative central component at the top of the roulette wheel, often featuring the casino’s logo or a themed design. The turret houses the height-adjusting mechanism for the wheelhead and serves as a visual centerpiece. Premium wheel manufacturers like TCS John Huxley offer custom turrets in various designs including Standard, Crystal, and French Cross styles, with finishes in brass, chrome, or anodized materials. While primarily decorative, the turret also serves a functional purpose in allowing technicians to adjust the wheelhead height to ensure proper ball trajectory from the ball track to the rotor.

In practice

Custom turrets are a popular branding tool for casinos. The Saturn wheel series by TCS John Huxley includes LED-lit turrets for enhanced visual appeal.
