I was walking through Binion's toward the poker room a few days ago when this roulette history board caught my eye. Hitting the "0" four times in a row? Please. It's so obviously rigged. Such things cannot happen by chance alone.
Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Gambler has a section about an unusual string of roulette hits, including more "0" than would ordinarily be expected. You can hear my friend Shamus read that portion of the book in the Hard-Boiled Poker Radio Show, episode 4, which you can download from here. The pertinent section runs from about 17:00 to about 27:00.

Casino roulette is TOTALLY rigged

Note that it also looks like a dick & balls.
Yeah, I'm immature. So sue me.
Immature, WindBreak247? Maybe, although a person would NEVER come to that conclusion by looking at your screenname.
:D
For what it's worth, that was my first thought too.
Let's make silly fart noises together, shall we?
Btw, those boards are no where near 100% accurate. Also, a dealer can just fire the ball a few times, stop it and put it in a number that he/she wants when the game is dead. No one cares. I did this one time with 0 double 0 over and over till I had a full board several years ago. People were passing by with looks of amazement on their faces after seeing the mystical "Pattern" on the board!
