Re: 114.4 Billion to 1 shot in Vegas . . .

Its gotta be the display. At our local casino it often will show double numbers when a number hits. So if 20 hits, it'll show 20 twice. Its probably more likely that 19 hit 1-3 times in a row and the display double/triple/quadrupled counted them. Note that 20 spun twice in two instances before 19 hit 7 times.

do you realize that if I was playing on this wheel and had hit 19 the first time I'd be HELLA stacked broseph? Why? because I know the rules of roulette. ALWAYS leave your hit bet....and WATCH THE REPEATER. THE REPEATER BROOOOOOOOOO

****ATTENTION****

Lol, to anyone in this forum that actually believes this happened , I will give you the greatest odds of your life. If you're in Vegas we will go to the RIO at night after the vacuum machines have gone through and I will give you "EVEN MONEY" on at least one roulette wheel tower showing "AT LEAST" 6 consecutive same number hits. This **** happens all the time when those monster size riding vacuum cleaning machines roll through. But, all the same anyone who doesn't believe me step on up for the greatest odds of your life then. All bankrolls accepted

Re: 114.4 Billion to 1 shot in Vegas . . .

7 straight any random numbers are the same odds tho, or am I high?

this looks cooler tho.

i.e odds of 3,5,6,8,9,13,11 hitting are the same,.

I understand, and agree with this.

However, If I had been cruising past this table, and, if I had noticed which numbers were showing on the display, I would have played 19 and 20 a few times just to see what would happen.

"There was no one playing at that table," Rio Las Vegas Hotel & Casino spokesman Gary Thompson told The Detroit News on Wednesday. "It was just a diagnostic test being done."

Re: 114.4 Billion to 1 shot in Vegas . . .

well if the math is correct and it is 114 billion to one. The roulette wheel has probably gotten spun at least a few billion times. Totally possible, and in fact certain with enough time but definitely suspicious.
