Dec 16, 2019 Low variance slots will produce frequent small to medium wins, while high variance slots can pay big but over a longer period of spins with many empty spins in between. In the end when you combine all of these factors you get an interesting slot machine that can pay big at any time but can also eat a lot of balance at any time. In craps 29.6% of total rolls are come out rolls, on average. Spins per Hour in Roulette. When my boyfriend and I first started dating there was this girl that would flirt with him all the time. Well I told him to ignore her or it would be over. He did, or so he said.

Over the years I've noticed that some people like to pretend that they are 'so called expert roulette players' (cough). For example, people like our own Mr. Jjj. So, I've compiled a different kind of quiz to see just how experienced some of these guys really are.
In order to successfully answer all of the questions, you'll need to have actual casino experience. In order to answer them all, you'll need to be experienced, well traveled, and observant.
Similar questions were posted on the John Patrick messageboard. As you might have guessed, they didn't know the answers.
There are no trick questions and the quiz is just for fun. The questions are for players in the US.

I suppose you could say that, considering that I have invented the side bet Poker For Roulette, it's sad that I don't know any of the answers, except one.14. Is it possible to remove one of the zeros from a double zero roulette game?
According to NJ and PA regulations (and presumably its the same in other jurisdictions), it's acceptable to use a double zero wheel on a single zero table, as long as a sign indicates that a double zero result is a push / no spin.
Personally, I think that means that if the sign is in the double zero space on the table, that you could run a single zero game without changing the wheel OR the felt.
FYI: I needed to find that because part of my idea is to link tables for the progressive jackpot. But linked tables must all have the same type of wheel. My idea is that a double zero would play for my side bet only on a single zero table.

Correct! An example is at the Trump Plaza in AC. They simple call it a 'no spin' when the double zero hits. This essentially makes it a single zero game. They have a little felt that they pull out to cover the double zero, showing just a single zero in it's place.

I think I can answer most of those. There are a couple I am unsure of though.

Lunch? You had a chance when I set up a Wizard's Lunch this past September.
I'll probably be coming for G2E this year. I'll definitely make my plans known when they're finalized.

Why not?
It's actually a very interesting game when you're attempting to predict where the ball will land.

After some people have time to read and answer the quiz I will post the answers.
MathExtremist
I'll give it a whirl, pun intended:> 1. In Las Vegas, which direction do the roulette wheels spin?
> 2. In AC, which direction do the roulette wheels spin?
I've seen both directions as well as alternations. The ball always spins counter to the rotation of the wheel, though.
> 3. In Las Vegas, in most casinos, do you get half of your bet back if one of the green zeros hit when you've placed a bet on the red/black?No. Only on a single-zero roulette wheel, and only rarely. MGM has a $25 table which offers this rule.
> 4. In AC, on average, do you get half of your bet back if one of the green zeros hit when you've placed a bet on the red/black?
On double-zero games it's allowed, but I can't speak to how common this is.
> 5. When setting at the 'first base' position, on which side is the roulette wheel setting if the wheel is 'LEFT handed'? Meaning, when facing the wheel/dealer, do the players set to the left, or to the right side of the wheel?
> 6. When setting at the first base position, on which side is the roulette wheel setting if the wheel is 'RIGHT handed'? Meaning, when facing the wheel/dealer, do the players set to the left, or to the right side of the wheel?
I'm not a trained dealer, but I assume the handedness of the wheel refers to which hand the dealer uses to release the ball. The dealer always uses the closer hand to release the ball (so as not to turn his back to the table) so a right-handed wheel would be on the right of the dealer (and left of the players).
> 7. At a traditional table, on average, how many spins take place per hour?
45, according to the last floor supervisor I asked. It will depend a LOT on how busy the table is. One player with one or two bets can be 120, while a full table with lots of bets might be 30-40.
> 8. What time of day does the day shift start for most dealers?
> 9. What time of day does the swing shift usually start for most dealers?
> 19. What time of day does the graveyard shift usually start for most dealers?
I've never dealt, but I want to say 10am for day shift, so 8 and 16 hours later for the others.
> 10. On average, how many revolutions does the ball make on a roulette wheel?
It varies; the minimum is 4 in NJ, but it will depend on how fast the croupier releases it. It also depends on whether you measure relative to the wheel or the rotor (since the rotor is spinning contrary to the rotation of the ball).
> 11. Who manufactures most of the wheels found in the US?
I'd guess TCS/John Huxley. They do a lot of the readerboards too, especially the newer LCD ones. The only other roulette wheel manufacturers I can think of are Cammegh and GPI, but GPI is more known for chips (Paulson, B&G, etc.).

No idea.
> 14. Is it possible to remove one of the zeros from a double zero roulette game?
It's always possible, and NJ specifically permits it. The traditional order of numbers on a single-zero wheel is different than on a double-zero wheel, but that turns out not to matter mathematically. It only matters for neighbor or French bets (voisins, tiers, orphelins), which don't work at all on a double-zero wheel with a green spot covered up.

> 20. Do all roulette wheels spin in the same direction?I've seen both left- and right- handed wheels spun in either direction, and I've seen both styles of ball release (arm out front w/ thumb upwards, and arm to the side w/ thumb downwards). Often the wheel will be set spinning and then the ball released in one steady motion, by swinging the wheel in one direction and flicking the ball backwards when the arm is fully extended. Sometimes the dealer will alternate, sometimes not. I'm not sure if there are any rules on this, so it may just be up to training and house preference. Regardless, the ball always spins counter to the rotation of the wheel.

I thought it is was funny so, on a whim I searched for threads with roulette in the title. I found 95. Most were dealing with questions, but I find it odd that people who posted systems with 'Fool Proof' in the title, or multiple 'Methods' to beat roulette aren't the ones answering. DJTeddybear was the only one with a system that actually answered a question. I'm not really a roulette player but I do find it humorous that I seem to know a little more about the ins and outs of the game than the system/method designers out there.- Page 1 of 3
