Rio Roulette Wheel Hits Same Number 7 Straight Times

May be just a coincidence, but I can't win SHIT at Rio. Nothing, never, nada.

Fake Fake Fake
I do no think that this is real. The article said that someone saw it and took a picture and it is not confirmed. I have seen other displays show numbers repeated over and over and ran over to the table only to find it closed or empty. After asking a guy standing there he said they were adjusting and testing the display that this was not real results. If this was real there would be a ton of people around the table.

The Las Vegas Sun has now updated its story to reflect that "the odds of it happening are 3 billion to 1."

The update, posted two hours ago, adds that "[T]he original version of the column cited incorrect odds as being 114 billion to one, which statistics experts have since noted were far longer than the single number 19 hitting seven times in a row."

That's an oddity, for sure.

But I would have been FAR more impressed if No. 11 came up seven straight times. No. 11 is much much more difficult to hit than 19. Not even in same league with 19.

In its Today's News section, the Las Vegas Advisor now also confirms the Las Vegas Sun's revised calculation, writing "The odds on the unbroken seven consecutive 19s hitting are 3 billion to 1."

wow!

Much ado about nothing.

From LVA Homepage...."According to a report posted in the Detroit News, a spokesman for Caesars Entertainment explained that "There was no one playing at that table. It was just a diagnostic test being done.""

Only diagnostics?! Crap, what are the odds of that.

Yeah Lenny....We were planning on going to Rio in Nov.

No way this happened in a "Live" game.

From the "Comments" section on the above link:

"It looks like a ball reader error to me. (remember I'm a test guy!) ...

19 and 20 are situated 180 degrees apart on an "American" style wheel (BIG CLUE). If the wheel is started, stopped, then re-spun (leaving the ball in place) you can easily get the same reading over and over on the ball reader. Maybe someone was just using it for training or it was being clean, reset, re-leveled.

But, most likely, the ball reader is just plain flakey. Happens all the time at Roulette tables (and bacarract too)... that's why there's a disclaimer saying the the number board is there as a convenience to players and it is not guaranteed to be the actual win number."
