Big Bang is an electonic table game going thru field trial at Caesars AC
Before I show a pic let me give a general description of the game
Players wager on one or more of six preset numbers a giant fancy wheel is spun which comes slowly to a halt due to a rubber plunger that slows the wheel making clacking noises. The final strut the plunger is centered on rewards the player a multiple of that number if they chose it. All other wagers lose
If this sounds familiar it is. Big Bang is a modified Big Six wheel
It does look fancy in the dark. Reminds me of stargate effects from 80's sci fi films
The play-screen has wager for you to make on the right and left sides while center is the number changing as the wheel moves and an image of the static wheel when bets are being taken
So whats different?
First there are no 1's. The wagers are 2,4,6,16,24 and 48
Secondly there are 6 wagers insteadof 7. The 48 is equivalent to the single section joker wager which on Big Six can be between 40 and 50 depending on venue. Usually there are 2 of these high payout wagers opposite each other each requiring a separate wager. So Big Six was always misleading as there were 7 wagers possible. Here there truly are only 6
Without the 1's the Big Bang should be exploitable. I knew I had to be missing something and it only took one spin to find out
Paytables are deliberately misleading. If wagering 2 you are told you are paid or win 2 units
Except you are being paid 2 for 1 - Not 2:1
In other words the 2 wager pays the same as the 1 wager in the Big Six. 4 actually pays 3 plus your original unit. Etc, etc.
At any rate there really isnt too much to this new variant aside from trying to deliberately deceive those people used to the Big Six
Here is the wheel in motion with lights rotating on and off in circles

Stargate SG-1 was a pretty successful franchise. I'm surprised nobody in marketing saw the obvious connection and licensed the name.
My goal of being well informed conflicts with my goal of remaining sane.
