Just spoke to a paddy power employee who said these machines are making the bookies absolutely millions of pounds and they are all fixed to rake it in.
If you want to lose then keep playing. lol.

Roulette doesn't need to be 'fixed'

You don't need to speak to any employee to know you are going to lose in the long run. It tells you plainly on the help screen what the % return is: about 88-92% on reel games. So people can't say they are not warned.

OB has beaten the odds on roulette for the last 20 years.

Many thanks to the OP. I was planning to lose £1,582 this afternoon in the bookies, but I'm not going to bother now.

Surely its a better game if its fixed, you can't be unlucky or pick the wrong numbers.

it isnt't fixed, works on odds same as proper roullette.
any number pays 36/1
there are 37 numbers including the zero so a 1/37 chance of picking the right number.
this works out at a payout equalling roughly 97% on average.
this means if you play on and on, you will always eveutually loose everything.
this is why fobt's are very dangerous, you can loose a fortune in a very short space of time..

Not in OB's case buzzer.
He's beaten those odds and is ahead on roulette.
To most it's an impossible task.
But we are not dealing with an average human being.

I spoke to a ladbrokes employee a few weeks ago who told me the odds of hitting 7 reds in a row was 23 million to one. Did say he had seen it quite a few times, but was adamant he was right.

How is that possible? I thought every spin is separate, the Spin history shouldn't matter?

Every spin is meant to be mutually exclusive.

I have just calculated the chance of 7 reds as being 0.0064 i.e. if you ran 1000 lots of 7 spins you would get 7 reds 6 times on average. Not exactly 1 in 23 million
* I of course may have fucked up the odds...
