Cheating Attempts in the Game of Roulette

Roulette players have fallen prey to the fixed games of roulette prior to the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. Gambling illegally was a usual thing in Las Vegas prior to the 1900s. Casinos would utilize specially-designed wheels in their efforts to deceive their players.

After the legalization of gambling and a new gaming commission supervised casino administration, the majority of these fixed wheels were driven underground in prohibited and offshore gambling enterprises. This commission had wide jurisdiction- they could conduct surprise visits and remove gaming equipments suspected for rigging and bring it to their laboratory for examination. The casinos had to follow or face cancellation of their license to operate. At present, it would be a challenge to trick players at roulette since reliable roulette wheels are now being used. If your preference is the prohibited gaming firm, you are bound to experience these rigged wheels.

One of the more intricate forms of cheating in roulette is to set-up four evenly spaced electromagnets around the wheels of the roulette. The ball consists of a steel core. The magnets would be linked to a concealed button and the force coming from the magnet directs the ball to any spot on the wheel. An experienced dealer could lead the ball into an area where there are less or no bets.

Another magnetic attempt consists of magnetic pockets. Here, the ball is rolled and of course, falls from the upper portion. The ball is drawn to the magnetic pockets.

The wheels of roulette are not simply modified the casino personnel. There are many situations wherein daring personnel enters a dark casino and tamper with the wheel. Using their gadgets, they would try to undo some separators of the roulette pocket. When hit by the rotating ball, the likelihood of the ball bouncing out and remaining in the pocket was greatly reduced. At times, chucks of lead were glued to the pocket's bottom minimizing the possibility of the ball bouncing out.

"Ball Tripping" is another method of deceiving the game of roulette. A tiny hole penetrates through the upper track of the ball and a small spring ounted pin is placed in the hole at the bottom of the surface. When a small lever is hit by the dealer, a cable pushes the pin towards the needle causing it to protrude above the wheel's surface. When pin is hit by the ball it is pushed out of the upper track earlier than usual. A well-trained dealer could calculate the ball tripping with the location of the wheel. This demands a talented dealer to have any impact.

As Albert Einstein puts it, "The only way to beat the roulette wheel is to steal money from it."
