I have long been interested in the theory of roulette computers, since the 'ritz gang' won £1.3M from a UK casino.
I am aware of two websites/companies that claim to have the technology, I won't post any links here for reasons that will become apparent. The sellers both claim to have the best version, but they both charge different amounts, a UK based seller sells for around £2,000 while an Australian sells for around $5,000.

The sellers are far from professional. They are both known to post on forums in an attempt to dis-credit one another.
The UK seller claims that the Aus seller has been convicted of fraud, and therefore should not be trusted.
The UK seller claims his device was tested and verified by the UK gambling commission, but the AUS seller has proof that the UK gaming board have never met the UK seller.

The UK seller is probably the most venomous, and has appeared within days of me making posts on other forums to either try and ridicule non-believers or to have a good old fashioned rant about his competitor.

The question is this, do you think this technology actually exists?
If it does, would anyone try and sell it?

I want to try and avoid the legality of such a device here, I will set up another thread for that purpose if anyone wants to discuss that. Here it is NOT illegal. The ritz gang were arrested, funds seized and hauled before a court. The judge determined they had not interfered with the equipment and therefore not guilty of a crime under the laws at the time. As far as I am aware the law remains the same, although I imagine you would be barred quickly from all casinos should you be caught or suspected.

If you're referring to a computer with the mechanical calculations to clock a wheel and predict which sector of the rotor the ball will land in, that's been known for a long time. See "The Newtonian Casino" by Thomas Bass, also published as "Eudaemonic Pie".
