Rio Roulette Wheel hits the #19 7 times in a row!

7 times in a row and 8 out of 9 spins it landed on #19! Can this even be real? Theres a picture in the article. Does anyone know the poker player that took the picture?

Something pretty similar happened at Paris earlier this year. I would've won a pretty penny.

Lol if everyone went broke betting heavily against 19 after the 3rd hit

But also congratulations to the people who kept doubling/increasing their bet everytime it hit

Four #20's in six spins would be a nice payday as well.

Re: Rio Roulette Wheel hits the #19 7 times in a row!

the comments are extra juicy with freshly squeezed retard though which is the best part.


"Is this an extremely rare event or a malfunction or a system controlling the results? What is more likely?

You can't just look at the 19s. you also have to consider the repeated 20s. Something does not look right here. Hope gaming officials see this.

I will make sure to avoid this wheel at the RIO."

Typical wheels have a $200 cap on a number. If I started betting on the 4th, I'd have capped my bet for 5th, 6th and 7th for sure...Not a bad little win.

iirc the odds of it landing on 19 seven times in a row is exactly the same as it landing on whichever other numbers it lands on over 7 spins. lol idiots and -ev gambling

Re: Rio Roulette Wheel hits the #19 7 times in a row!

You can turn a $1 bet into $45,000+ in 3 spins if the table max is $1500.

Put $1 on #19 you win $35 +$1 that was bet, let the $36 ride on 19 and you get $1260 + your $36 bet, let that ride and you got $45,360 plus your $1296 bet.

Something tells me this 7 in a row didn't really happen. I think the wheel would have to be biased for that to happen. After the 3rd or 4th 19 hit the floor would have probably shut the table down. Also the board shows 20 coming out four times too and the 20 and 19 aren't next to each other on the wheel. Maybe a maintenance person was testing the board reader by placing the ball repeatedly in 19 and someone just happened to get a picture. Anybody know the person who took the pic? The article said it was a poker player.

lol @ Prince hanging out by the craps tables.

I would bet this didn't happen. I've seen oddities on the roulette "ticker" before while using up free plays and asked the dealer or people around me and been told it wasn't accurate.

Prob not much different than when your post seems to freeze and you jam the send button and you end up triple posting

Beyond the Best crunched the numbers and calculated the odds of the 19s hitting seven times in succession as 114 billion to 1
