My compliments to the Pogg for their good detective work and efforts to keep onling gambling fair and honest. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites for gambling online.
Meanwhile I will withhold my judgment until the casino has had a chance to do their own investigation. During such time they took the game offline, which was the right thing to do. However, I still can't help but wonder how hard is it to draw random integer from 0 to 36.
Always same story. - I wonder why these errors are not going into players favor and if this happen, they are refused their winnings ?
Do you know the name of the software provider to these casinos? Who actually wrote the software?Quote: WizardI'd like to draw the attention of online players to this investigation of an allegedly unfair roulette game detailed at The Pogg. Between two tests, a single number was bet in single-zero roulette 1156 times. The number of wins was zero. The probability of this is (36/37)^1156 = 1 in 56,951,102,314,281.
Quote: SlotlandPlease note that all Slotland games share the same mechanism which determines the jackpot win. Therefore, the probability of hitting the jackpot combination on Jacks Or Better is not natural but controlled by this shared random mechanism in the same way as slot machines' wins.
On winadaycasino.com's FAQ they first state that everything acts like it does in Atlantic City, but then negate that by making basically the same statement:

I wouldn't find it terribly surprising that their roulette is rigged too.

I'm quite surprised you gamble online at ALL Mike, considering you live in Vegas...
I guess I was confused -- did the Wizard mean it was his favorite site to place on-line bets or his favorite site to get information about gambling online?Quote: TIMSPEEDI'm quite surprised you gamble online at ALL Mike, considering you live in Vegas...

To get information. The Pogg is not a casino, but a watchdog site, endeavoring to point players to the good online casinos, and warn them about the bad ones. While many sites claim to do this, many just sell good reviews. However, The Pogg is one of the few honest sites keeping an eye on the industry.

Ahh ha...my mistake.
I may out of line here but I believe that the record for a single number not showing was 455 spins in a brick and mortar game? Does that sound right?Quote: WizardI'd like to draw the attention of online players to this investigation of an allegedly unfair roulette game detailed at The Pogg.

Awesome. I'm really impressed with the speed with which you blacklisted the casinos. Really great.
edit... nvm.... read the article

Any such disclaimer, undoubtedly hidden somewhere in the fine print, seems strange. I can't even figure out just what it means anyway.
"Not natural but controlled by this shred random mechanism as in a slot machine" could simply mean, we use pRNG chips in roulette rather than a physical wheel of slowly decaying speed.
