Can the roulette ball "be rolled into" a pocket of your choice?
This is a long-standing misbelief in connection with roulette. According to legends, in real offline casinos, there are croupiers who are capable of rolling the roulette ball into the pocket of their choice. Most probably croupiers who wanted to brag a little before the young ones made up these stories. In reality, this idea of rolling the ball is not viable since there are tiny teeth on the roulette wheel, which by getting in the way of the ball, throw it off course into random directions. This way the course of the ball becomes completely unpredictable.
Does anyone inspect the gaming machines?
All the gambling machines of Nevada are thoroughly inspected before they are approved for use and are regularly monitored thereafter by the National Office for Measurement1. Although the roulette tables of Nevada, from the aspect of the game, are exactly the same as the roulette cylinders used in real offline casinos, the placement of the bets is fully automated, which by definition, makes them gambling machines, and therefore, the rigorous inspection rules apply to them as well. Furthermore, the random and unexpected visitations of the controllers of the Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection 2 make the games honest and clean. Any exterior tempering with the machines would mean the immediate revocation of the operation license.
What type of roulette is built into the slot machines?
