The trio who pulled off an audacious coup at the Ritz using gadgetry on March 16 to calculate where a roulette ball would land are to be allowed to keep their winnings, officers said. Legal sources said the gamblers had were let off because it was deemed they had not violated any law, since the scanner did not interfere with the ball or wheel. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

2 questions:

1) how can a laser determine where the ball will stop on a roulette wheel
2) where can i buy said laser

You probably just need it to be able to predict what general segment of the wheel that the ball will land in, not the exact slot. Just need to overcome the vig, not win every bet.

Funk is correct. All you need to do is hit one in a group. Good for them Fvck the brick and mortar casinos. They rob from you all the time. The state lottery is even worse.

 

[CardFather]

All you really need to do is eliminate a few possibilities.

On a European Wheel if you can throw out 2 numbers and on the typical American Wheel you only need to eliminate 3, to have an edge.

In practice it doesn't work precisely that way, you will actually be diminshing sector chances to equate to the aforementioned.

FWIW- There are some great roulette opportunities at "Vegas Nights" around the country.

 

[krackman]

Cardfather is correct! I wouldn't want to be caught doing this in one of those "casino nights" Even though they are usually run by squares just like sports betting their is a disturbing trend happening as they are being schooled by game protection seminars and sharps. Sectioning a wheel maybe a thing of the past real soon.

Why is this cheating??? They are just taking the advantage away from the casino using a device that is not prohibited.

If I had such a device I would surely use it myself. Nothing to do with cheating and I guess that's why they were allowed to keep all their winnings.

 

[killy]

it is cheating here in the US as no electronic devices are allowed at the tables

 

[Slash]

Ok, but as far as I can read, it was not disallowed at Ritz Casino.
