roulette - electronic

[person1125]

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. I was at my local casino tonight and they have a thing called "Rapid Roulette". It is a bank of probably 20 machines that you sit down at in a circle. You have 45 seconds to place your bets, after that it doesn't accept bets anymore. The machine then "spins the ball" and you get paid out accordingly. I thought this seemed kinda BS - the machine could spin what ever it wants - it should be completely random, but who knows. At least at the live roulette you get to see the ball spun and you know it's random. Do you think this is a trend that more and more table games are going electronic? Faster play means more money for the casino.

Any bank of these that I've seen had a real dealer spinning the wheel,making change and keying in the winning number.
