An article about whether or not the roulette machine is rigged will cover some of the basics of how the game is played, as well as some potential methods that could be used to cheat.
The roulette wheel is made up of 36 slots that are numbered from 1 to 36. The ball is placed at one of the twelve positions on the wheel and a hand-held mechanical device called a ball computer determines which number the ball will land on.
The bettor can choose to place a bet on any one of the 36 numbers, or on any combination of numbers (including odd and even numbers).
To play roulette, a player places a bet by spinning the roulette wheel. The ball falls into one of the 36 numbered slots and, once it stops spinning, the computer calculates which number the ball has landed on.
If the number chosen by the player matches any number on the wheel, then that bet is paid out. If not, then any winnings from previous bets are added to whatever money is currently in the player’s account.
In order for someone to rig roulette, they would have to have knowledge of how the ball computer works and where each number on the wheel falls. Additionally, they would need access to one of the machines so that they could place bets and control when bets were paid out.
It’s extremely unlikely that anyone would have enough information and access to rig a roulette game – especially in today’s world where casinos are constantly monitored and monitored closely.
