The first question almost everyone asks when you tell them you are involved in the production of automated roulette wheels is whether they are rigged and how. This question probably stems from the widespread suspicion of manipulation of gambling winnings. This is understandable, given that most of these games, like slot machines and various virtual games, do not provide the player with insight into the code that fully governs the game process.
In over two and a half decades in this business, we have had the opportunity to encounter customers interested in producing roulette wheels that would allow such manipulation. In this regard, some were willing to generously reward such functionality and even invest in comprehensive research and development. We have never complied with such requests, primarily because doing so would jeopardise our own reputation. However, even setting that aside, in the case of the ball ejection concept we use, achieving such functionality would be extremely complex. In the case of automated roulette wheels, where the ball’s movement is controlled via air jets and the ball is in constant view, this request would be somewhat easier to meet. Namely, with such automated roulette wheels, the movement of the ball is continuously controlled, which also results in noticeably unnatural behaviour, something players often notice. Therefore, the ball’s movement in the event of avoiding a specific number would not necessarily be as noticeable. In the case of electronic roulette wheels, where the ball is ejected through a tube and then moves uncontrollably until it lands in the winning number slot, it is a completely different matter. Theoretically, even in that case, it could be possible to influence the control of the winning number by adjusting the speed of the rotor. However, if we consider dispersed bet options like colour, and the well-known unpredictability of the ball bouncing off stoppers and dividers, implementing such a request in a way that would go unnoticed by the player remains practically an inapplicable theory.
It is crucial to understand that gambling games exist for the house to profit. If you are aware of this and have already decided to have some fun at the casino, roulette, especially electronic roulette with the ball ejection through a tube, logically represents the best choice, especially if you are betting on dispersed combinations like colour. The house edge, which stems from the zero, is still mathematically clear, but it is a transparent way for the gambling operator to cover its costs and make a profit. Therefore, if there is a way for us to harmlessly participate in gambling games, it is precisely with the automated roulette with the ball ejection from a tube, while being aware of the true nature of gambling games, regardless of the rigging of results.
