Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel". In
the game, players may choose to place bets on either a number, a range of numbers, the color red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To
determine the winning number and color, a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted
circular track running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls on to the wheel and into one of 37 (in
European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.
BIG QUESTION?!?!?!
ARE THEY RIGGED?
When i was in the UK i was a member in a few casinos.
Paid them all a fair visit regularly.
Got some money out of it too!
My resolution?
Well games like coin maschines are definitelly rigged.
Found that through an incident that happened in front of my eyes when the management lost the network on the machines and a lot of money by the time
the casino was shut to fix the ....loss !
It just happent to overhear a staff conversation and noticing in detail all happening around me.
Anyway!
I also found that the croupier had some control of where the ball landed. not an exact number but definitely a section if the croupier was
experienced. Furthermore that accuracy was increased when the croupier was getting better.
So thats that!
But how far do casinos go on controling the game?
