This is the alternative to calling no more bets before ball release, which would ultimately cost the casino in lost revenue (because of many late bettors who lose). Some automated wheels have been doing this kind of thing for a while. Generally any serious player first scouts for the 'best' conditions possible - it all starts with wheel selection and doesnt make sense to play in more difficult conditions. But if you are forced to play them, this will be relevant to you:
My experience with them is for some methods, accuracy is dramatically reduced if not nullified so you wouldnt bother. For other methods, they make very little to no difference. For example, it does not overly affect wheel analysis methods where you bet before ball release - it does make life more difficult though. It will in particularly affect a 'basic' ballistic approach, such as visual ballistics or a basic roulette computer where you rely heavily on rotor strike points.
If you look at roulette from a traditional advantage play perspective, you will look at only the point at which the ball strikes the rotor. But in reality you need to consider the long term and the patterns that manifest.
There is no escaping the long term. As long as the ball and wheel physically exist, and the physical properties do not change, there will always be long term predictable patterns. Even if some physical properties change mid-game, which some do anyway, there will still be at least some element of predictability to exploit.
So that I'm clear:... say if you used a RNG (random number generator) to determine which number will be under the ball when it falls. This would NOT be predictable. Now if you used Cammegh's RRC to "randomize" the rotor speed so that the number under the ball is randomized, is this the same thing?.. IS IT NOT THE SAME THING - ONE HAS PROGRESS, THE OTHER DOES NOT. Other advantage players and even Cammegh may read this and not believe or understand. The difference centers around the real and physical vs non-physical.
There's no denying the approach to beating such wheels is not as 'straight-forward', but it is far from impossible. Computer players need to use the in-built computer features to determine IF rotor speed varies - yes it does this too, since a particular player wanted to only play automated wheels which was years ago. For further information, if players encounter such wheels, contact me directly or see the player only sections.
On another note, such wheels may actually be illegal. If you notice them, report it. That's because it is almost always unlawful to influence outcomes of games. But they may argue the outcome is still "random" - it's one step closer to a slot machine though, and already many casinos have ANIMATIONS of wheels instead of real roulette wheels and these should never be trusted because that's not roulette - it's a slot machibe with roulette graphics.
In many jurisdictions, including Australia, achieving a financial advantage by deception is illegal. One may argue that the "discretion" feature of such wheels is DECEPTION, and this would pave the way for law suits against the casinos. The only way around this for the casino is to disclose the feature. But that will lead to more lost revenue because of lack of trust in the integrity of the game.
Either way, most players I know simply dont trust automated wheels, or wheels that have any such features. So casinos using the technology may be losing casinos more than they realize, when they're simply trying to protect themselves from the 0.02% of players that are professionals. That's why cammegh really pushes the "discretion" factor on their website. How many players would notice there was something odd about rotor behavior, and be deterred from play? How much would this lose the casinos? How many players are actually professional?
Ultimately casinos will try and protect themselves.. I mean try and steal money from desperate people while hiding behind a "legal" screen claiming they operate ethically. And people will always be on their case trying to earn a living. A cat and mouse game and that's how it'll probably always be.
