A method is provided for controlling presentation of roulette bet information on a roulette wheel display. The method includes detecting, by a processor, placement of one or more bets for one or more bet-upon values on a betting layout for a roulette game. Prior to an outcome of the roulette game and in response to the detecting, the processor deemphasizes portions of a roulette wheel corresponding to non-bet-upon values by dimming a lighting effect on the portions of the roulette wheel for the non-bet-upon values. Concurrently with the deemphasizing, the processor animates a highlight effect on one or more portions of the roulette wheel associated with one or more bet-upon values, thereby providing an enhanced pre-outcome presentation of bet coverage on the roulette wheel and/or reduced display illumination for non-bet-upon values.
