don't see how this can be good for us. just seems like tilters will dump in the casino instead of the tables.

edit: now thinking about it place is a ghost town anyway so guess its worth a shot

that's a fair point, you could obviously just exclude from FTP altogether. But, that doesn't change fish busting their rolls in the pit vs at the tables, it's definitely a major bleed on the economy.

I drunkenly tried to download it last night to play some roulette, but it didn't work, so I'm guessing it hasn't reached Germany yet.

Their edge deficit will actually be less at the pit games. For us, as online regs, it detracts from our bottom line in an online environment which is already getting tougher.

It's a sad day when fish realise that it's more EV for them to lose their $s playing roulette/BJ instead of poker.

If the same number hits too frequently, just bet on the last number that hits and clean up. I've personally used this strategy and made millions. Gosh, noobs.

If and when a poker site introduces table games it is for short term greed and over the long haul will decimate the poker product

It would be very hard to prove if it was rigged, but the other day I opened up a roulette table on FT where three players were betting hundreds of dollars, about 85% of the table were covered. I watched 6-7 spins, and they missed every single time. All three of them left after that.
Btw as far as I know, rng roulette is basically a slot machine, and the casino can legally set what percentage of return they want. Same with airball roulette, where the software can change rotor speed and also ball speed with compressed air, so the ball will land on the less covered area. More info on this can be read on many forums.

Of course they can, just like they can rig poker to deal whatever cards they like. What's your point?

Oh, wait, legally? LOL, no. Unless they make it clear somewhere in their T&C's that any particular number may not have a 1/38 chance of hitting, of course they can't. Just like video poker is understood by players to be dealing from a deck of 52 cards, video roulette would be understood to have an equal chance of hitting all 38 numbers, and they would need to disclose if they are doing otherwise.
