Can a Computer Beat Roulette?

Computer programs that can predict the outcomes of roulette games have been created, but they have not been able to beat the house edge in real world roulette. In fact, some computer programs have actually lost money playing roulette. The reason for this is that the house edge in roulette is about 2.9 percent.

This means that for every 100 times that a roulette ball is drawn, the player will lose about £2.90 ($4.40). A computer program that is designed to win at roulette by exploiting a flaw in the game would have to win almost 800,000 times in order to break even.
