Hi

 

I was on the Victory last week, they didn't have any electronic roulette.

 

What they did have, I wasn't very impressed with. I am not sure if someone had mentioned this on these threads before and I didn't notice, but their tables now have a 3rd. zero. What a money grab. It's not something I would normally play very much, but with the third zero, I would never go near it again.

No, not on the breeze last time I was on it. 

 

Sorry for my ignorance, you're talking about the wheel being electronic or the electronic board that shows the previous numbers? Wheel is real.

How does the third zero work

Hi

 

The same as the other zeros. The payout odds don't take them into account, so each additional zero favors the house by an additional 2.5+%. 

 

The game was originally played with 36 numbers a one zero. If you bet on any individual number, for instance, you would have one in 37 chance of winning. The payout however didn't take the zero into consideration. If you won you would receive a payout of 35:1, so you would receive 35 chip winnings and your original chip bet. That would be the house advantage...normal for casinos. Then casinos thought that they could do better. They added a second O. So most casinos on the roulette wheel will have, the 36 numbers 1 to 36, a 0, and 00. Since they were just trying to win the patrons money faster, they never changed the payout, but people still continued playing. So now it appears on this Carnival ship the wheel now has a 0, a 00, and a "B", with no change in the payout. The result is the house went from having a 2.7% chance of winning every spin, to having a 7.7% chance of winning every spin. 

 

This isn't very "sporting" of them, it looks very greedy. As I said, I wouldn't normally play roulette in the past, but have. However, I can't imagine ever playing this game again on these ships.

The wheel is actually real - But you place your bets on an electronic board (kinda like have a slot machine) so each player has their own board - the wheel spins with the ball like normal and payouts are done 

What's cool about electronic is that minimum bet is 25 cents even on the outside stuff where as normally minimum is $1 for numbers and $5 for outside stuff - I can play for hours on the same $5 

 

Just don't let some joker sit down next to you and tell you to keep tripling your black/red bet if you lose "because your guaranteed to win" Got up to like $1000 a couple of times and was sweating my brains out worried I would loose it because no way I could go to $3000 on a single bet - Finally told my husband enough of that crap - Tell you what this guy was a smoooth talker because we all ended up doing it! I am talking the entire table was listening to this guy and yah he is right eventually you would be ahead but sheesh it was not worth the heart attack trying to figure it out

It wasn't like that in December. Everyone stacked their chips on the same board, and it wasn't electronic. I watched people play for a while. It could have changed by now, but I doubt it. 

Happy cruising everyone.
