Absolutely ridiculous - 100 number roulette in William Hill

Deleted User X18H · Nov 25, 2013

Well 105 number actually, but you only , only get paid at 100/1 straight up .
Zero is replaced with square, triangle, star, circle and rectangle, I think.

The wheel looks like the old Wembley Stadium.

Madness, people will be doing their bunce for sure.

You'd have to be mad to play ?

I put in my £1.50 change and hit star I think, won a tenner and cashed out.

Welcome to the modern day gambling experience. No longer do the 'Bookies' want to take your money via a good old fashion wager, i.e a £100 horse bet but they will take your money ( any amount ) via the FOBT'S all day long. I use £100 as an example but the reasoning is the same, they are no longer interested in Over The Counter business and are turning themselves into modern day amusement arcades.

This and cartoon racing is the future, hardly get a bet on these days without a phone call to the trader.

They queuing up to play when I left .

Maximum bet per spin £100 , some lucky fearless punter has a £50 straight up its £5k a couple in quick succession , then it could be £10k. Life changing for some.

Have Hills thought how they might pay this out !!

They won't have to pay it out as it won't happen. My best advice on these raping machines is to back 13 and nothing else as it will come in more times than any other number and that is because the programmers knowing it is a number few will back have rigged it to come in more times than any other by a long way.

anyone who plays a fixed odds game of chance with a house advantage for money has something wrong with them.

off of the top of my head it could be

a) they are stupid
b) they are desperate
c) they are drunk and thought it was a phone box
d) they are money laundering (this only applies to playing in a casino with cash)
e) they have no knowledge of maths
f) they are bored .......... and deservedly so if they can't think of anything better to do
g) any combination of the above

I know a smashing old fella who claims to have a 'system' for roulette. He spends most of his retirement skint. From time to time I stick a fiver on his electricity so he can turn on the heating for a bit.

I have had runs of 25 losing spins in a row covering 12 numbers many times when I played them. The machine will ALWAYS find a number you have not got and then double, treble or more that number before moving onto another number you have not got and then doing the same. They are rigged, they are bent. Don't touch them.

better off putting £100 on once

Uncle Spielberg · Nov 25, 2013

Also the maximum bet is £ 13 and maximum payout £ 500 so it will not pay £ 5000 in a spin.

.

Fixed return machines are great for money laundering, stand there for hours pumping your ill gotten gains in and you're guaranteed to get x % back as clean money with a receipt showing it was winnings.

h) addicted to gambling

in which case I have sympathy

Prince Monolulu · Nov 25, 2013

I will have a bash on the gee-gees and dogs but the football and especially the cash munching machines no way. Online bets only, real animals and non of that cartoon nonsense.

That doesn't make any sense at odds of 100/1

Deleted User X18H · Nov 25, 2013

Maximum bet per spin is £100 GG not sure on straight up.

Uncle Spielberg · Nov 25, 2013

The max bet is £ 100 but the max payout is £ 500.

Deleted User X18H · Nov 25, 2013

Maximum pay out per spin is £500
