I just see someone win £1500 in minutes after watching someone lose about £300. Are there people out there that know how these things work or is it completely random and lucky! I daren't get involved as it seems your credit meter turns into play money!

Other then that just normal with roulette, you get the odd winner but most people do their nuts in it. Even sillier to play in vegas as i found out
Walk away now...
The bookie already has the odds in their favour on the game, let alone using percentage payouts.
I once saw a bloke have about £1100 in one of these machines, I then watched a race for no longer then 2 or 3 minutes came back and he was down to about £70. I can never understand why people stick £20 after £20 in these machines, why not just go to a casino or even an online live casino, has to better better then a computer game.
It is quite funny when you see people punching the screens and kicking the machine in anger calling the machine a f^%$£$g cheat.
However, what you've written there is a myth.
- The machines aren't linked.
- One big win does not prevent any machine paying out again.
Im not sure i believe that until i see it with my own eyes.
They would have to be able to apply the almost exact same force on each go, at the almost exact point of where the wheel is. There seems far too much room for slight error.
hate the game but only played it the odd 30-40 here and there, only lost around $350 over the week on it but still didnt leave with anything everytime nor did my mate who lost $600
I'm not going to argue with 16 years experience but I have to say I believed it when the girl told me your chances of winning ARE dependent on the success/failure of that particular machine that day. The poster above who tells of the same number coming up 5 times in a row only furthers my belief of that.
Obviously it depends on how people play them but I've never understood how, if a machine was only ever backed as red/black, odd/even, 1-18/19-36 all day, it would make any profit because statistically it would pay out as much as it would make. (except of course the slim chance of 0 coming up). Maybe people back 'lucky numbers' more than I anticipate.
As for the same number coming up five times in a row, that has nothing to do with whether that machine has paid out that day or not. It can happen if the machine has paid £0 or whether it's paid £5000. It's clearly not random, but it's not dependant on a single days profit/loss - it's more long term than that.
You get the right machine at the right time on the right day and you're laughing - it'll pay out all day. Of course the opposite is also true. I've seen a lot worse than the same number 5 times in a row..
For those who wonder - Over a year, these machines make a profit of around 3.7% on the credit played (not the cash inserted).
They are evil for sure, and the extent to which some get addicted to them is ridiculous. The government don't care either as they rake in loads of tax from bookmakers' profits.
I have an occasional flutter on the horses and football, but I've never put a penny in these machines and never will. Horrendous things.
Have never seen the attraction in them myself. All seems a bit sad - a bit like betting on those virtual races they run in bookies when there's any more than a couple of minutes between real races.
The 3.7% profit figure I posted earlier doesn't sound like much, but that's based on credit played - not the money that's put into the machine. You could put in a £10 note but turnover £100 as you win and lose.
For example..
A decent staking roulette player spins £50 twice a minute for 30 minutes - his credit will go up and down, but that is £3000 'turnover'. The profit on that (using the annual 3.7% figure) would be £111.
That is a very simple way of explaining it and of course it would never happen as exact as that - he could win or lose a lot more than that.
The fact is that over the year for every £1000 of credit played, the bookies make £37. That is serious coin and represents 80%+ of the annual turnover for these companies
