Fixed cameras £50,000.

Croupiers x 4 on shifts £80,000.

Extra profits for bookies £???????.

Punters piece of mind. Priceless.


For everything else there's Mastercard. :D

This implies there are people actively avoiding playing them due to believing they are rigged, but I'm guessing any real spenders are so addicted they dont give a fuck AND that trhe cynical people WILL somehow believe what they see on the camera is not at all rigged, when they start losing; watch all manner of crazy conspiracy theories go flying!

ps: what about the THOUSANDS to amend the software?

Should they dress five fast men in king out fits and asked them to randomly pick 7's out of a box?





YES.

Please.


Actually NO. Thankyou. As each feature would probably be £0.


Also there are a few 'live feed' roulette digital TV stations out there. Even on freeview. Of course these can be rigged as what they do is capture several images for red, black, manque, bloop, zero. Once the betting is done they can feed whatever image they like onto the screen for maximum return. They have such huge databanks of these images you cannot tell what number it is before 'no more bets' as the wheel is spinning. Apparently it took six months of virtually continuous filming to get all the images prerecorded. Continuity were in place for change of croupiers etc from night to night. No one can crack the system, if they do, they simply pretend it didn't accept your card details if you think 'here it is! A prerecorded 28!' and you whack £1000 on 28 - sorry system error, bet not accepted. Then out pops 28. Totally rigged and I haven't even played them.


Tongue out of cheek. Come on, I **love** conspiracy theories with a passion. I'm doing quite well on on line poker recently (anti-jinx software inititated, touch wood etc) so that's not due a slating. How about?!? Actually as my Party Poker account has been inactive for 180 days they've said they'll charge my account $0.37 a month if I don't play. Serious. It's an 'admin' fee for me having an inactive account. So I think Party Poker is due some comspiracy malarky. Of course I'd better not post it here as all the poker sites are run by the mafia and bent as hell and if you type mafia in a posting it goes direct to the Mafia via The Whitehouse, The FBI and MI5 where it is analysed, dissected, no sorry, I'm dissected and then there's the old horses head, I mean what do you expect? Vegas was built by The Mob, of course it's all rigged.

Rigged! Fixed! Rigged! Totally Rigged! With a capital R for some reason.

Im torn on these, personally lost a bity of coin on them, my pal though is a grand up this weekend, betting on 28,29,7,12 and just having it come in all the time!

Mind you, i stuck £2 in 'Multi Bingo' and walked away with about £114, my first ever big win on a FOBT.

But with a kid on the way and a house sale going through, im not getting sucked in! A £1 accumulator on a Saturday is enough for me!

In September I saw one machine payout £14.5k profit in five hours. The guy has since done the lot.
