Why do live dealers show their hands after spinning?

Very quick question. Why do live dealers always show their hands after they spin the wheel in roulette? I noticed this in pretty much every live game, and it’s becoming somewhat amusing to see it over and over again.

I've noticed that too during my late-night roulette sessions (gotta love those quiet hours after the kiddo's bedtime). Dealers show their hands after spinning the wheel to ensure transparency and fairness in the game. By displaying open, empty hands, they're reassuring players that they haven't done anything sneaky like manipulating the ball or interfering with the wheel.

It's all about building trust. In live casino settings—especially online where we can't be physically present—these gestures help us feel confident that the game is being conducted honestly. Think of it like a magician showing there's nothing up their sleeves.

Thank you for the explanation, yeah, I could say that they reassured me they aren't cheating.
