New Ideas For Beating RNG Casino Games

Over the years I’ve written extensively on ways to beat RNG games. To summarize, RNG stands for “random number generator”. It’s basically software that determines the game outcomes, like with RNG roulette.

RNG is applied to many different casino games. If the game you play is software, then the game outcome is determined by RNG. Of course the most obvious is a slot machine game like Big Banker.

Anyway I wont explain what RNG is again. And I won’t repeat the other ways I’ve mentioned for beating RNG. This article explains some concepts you might want to explore, if you’d like to continue where I stopped.

The Universe Has Order, Everywhere

Everything seemingly random has order to it. That is to say everything has a pattern. But often the pattern looks completely random.

If you’re familiar with my articles, you’d know I often say “nothing is ever random”, and that there’s only “cause and effect, and whether or not the two can be correlated”.

With physical roulette wheels, it’s easy to correlate physical variables that determine the winning number. I’m not the only person who figured it out. In fact much of it is common knowledge in the gaming industry. But most gamblers choose to remain ignorant about it.

One example of “cause and effect” is the technique called “visual ballistics”. This is simply estimating the speed of the ball and rotor to estimate where the ball will land. That’s at least a very simplistic explanation, and it’s not quite correct – but the explanation serves the purpose here.

So with visual ballistics, the two schools of thought are:

  1. Everything is random and unpredictable: This is how you see the wheel if you have no understanding of wheel physics.
  2. Variables can be measured to predict the winning number: This is the view of professional advantage players.

The lesson here is your understanding limits your approach. This gets me to my next point, which is there’s no such thing as random. Everything has order. Everything has a pattern.

Everything is predictable to a degree. Predictability is more a matter of scale, amount of information, and accurate modelling.

So how can we make use of this knowledge?

Firstly, don’t expect to get anything from just a few spins. You need to look at thousands of spins – bare minimum. Although that depends on the game you’re playing.

However, it’s more likely you’ll need hundreds of thousands (or millions) of game results to know anything useful. It sounds like you’ll be sitting in front of your computer for years, but reality is different because proper data collection for RNG requires automated bots.

So almost everything should be automated by your computer and custom-made software. It would be much easier to have the source code of the RNG software you’re trying to beat, but that’s not realistically possible. And you can’t realistically wager large amounts to collect data, because you’ll lose too much in the process. So if you’re collecting data with a bot, you’ll need to make minimum bets. You’ll still make a loss in this process, but it’s part of the investment you make.

Patterns You Can Expect To Find

With just a few game results, you wont see anything. But with much larger volumes of RNG data, here’s some of what you can expect to find:

It doesn’t look anything like “random”, right? That’s because it’s not random. Again nothing is ever random.

I discovered this myself over 20 years ago. I used a custom-made program to generate bitmap images from random number generators. The software could process any set of numbers, but it was originally designed for RNGs. I found that any change to the RNG algorithm or parameters resulted in a different pattern.

So I could see not even RNG was random. It was indeed predictable.

The Problem With Using Fractals To Predict RNG

There were a few problems with using fractals for RNG prediction. The main one was I needed very large amounts of data. So it wasn’t practical for casino games.

However, I did manage to find ways to reduce the amount of data needed. And these approaches were applied to predict patterns from real physical roulette wheels. The methods can also be applied to data from craps dice shooting techniques, and other data analysis methods. But when it came it RNG, the data requirement as too unrealistic.

Taking The Research Further

I’ve managed professional teams for decades. I’ve run multiple companies with various interests. I’ve made all the money I’ll ever need, and only need my passive investments to be comfortable – more than comfortable. So besides having a personal interest, I don’t have a desire to continue to research. I have no need for it.

But if you’re looking to continue, here’s what you need to know:

If you were reverse engineering DNA, you might see fragments of the DNA are missing. You could guess how they look. You might be correct some of the time, and wrong other times. It’s guesswork.

However, if you had background information about the genetic makeup of the individual, you’re more likely to make accurate educated guesses. For example, you might have additional information such as the race or gender of your subject. Finding patterns is much the same – educated guesswork.

And when it comes specifically to RNG, different RNGs algorithms have different fingerprints. Many online casinos use the same RNG software, but with different parameters. This is the same as having the same mathematical equations, but with different variables (values). The outcomes and patterns might seem different, but the underlying source code and equations are much the same. And by knowing this, you can model the correlation between different sets of game results you collect. But this cannot be done manually. You’ll realistically need automated software to conduct analysis.

Ultimately what you’re trying to is reduce the amount of data you need for reliable RNG analysis. And you achieve this by correlating any data you have, to other sets of data you have.

Voisins Du Zero Roulette Systems

The Voisins Du Zero is both an area of the European roulette wheel, and a type of bet. See the below green area for the numbers it includes:

WHEEL-LAYOUT-IMAGE

This type of bet is only available on European roulette wheels, which have only a single green zero. The American roulette wheel has both single and double green zero pockets. Further details are included in most explanations for how to play roulette.

How To Bet on Voisins Du Zero

There are essentially two ways to bet on this. Easiest is to use the race track betting area on the table. Not all roulette tables have the racetrack. It is most common in these United States and Europe. However, it is not usually available on the American 00 wheels, and therefore most of The United States of America.

The typical racetrack appears as below:

The easiest way to bet on Voisins Du Zero is to place a chip within the oval area shown below:

The Odds of Winning

The Voisins includes seventeen different numbers. Because there are thirty-seven different pockets on the European wheel, the odds of winning are 17/37 or 45.9% for each spin.

When you make this type of bet, it is technically a variety of bets types.

Firstly, there are split bets. Split bets are when you place a chip on the line between two numbers on the betting table. These splits include:

4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, and 32/35

If the ball lands on any of these numbers, you get a 9 chip profit. There’s a 5.4% change of this.

Also included are slightly more elaborate bet combinations. These include two chips to bet on 0,2 and 3. A win on these profits you 15 units. This is derived from the 22 chips win, minus the 7 chips you bet on other numbers.

There are a few other bets included, which are on 25, 26, 28 and 29. The win rate for these numbers is 4/37, which is 10.8%.

So there are a combination of bets, with varying odds and payouts.

Summary of Bets

Here’s a quick summary of the bets you make:

One chip on SPLITS: 4 & 7, 12 & 15, 18 & 21, 19 & 22, 32 & 35

Two chips each on: 0, 2, 3

Two chips each on: 25, 26, 28, 29

Systems for Voisins Du Zero

Elaborate types of bets alone don’t work. The vast majority of systems fail, with reasons explained on our strategy tips page. Essentially most systems don’t even consider why a ball lands where it does. The winning number is mostly determined by variables such as the speed of the wheel and ball, and how the ball bounces.

Roulette systems that account for these factors, and other variables that actually make a difference, I called advantage play methods. Many players consider typical roulette systems to be in a different class as advantage play. However, is like the difference between the word system and strategy. Basically they mean the same thing.

In the case of advantage play, systems that work involved predicting the sector in which the ball will land. Casinos are aware that sector based bets are a threat to them. For this reason, some casinos will notify the pit boss each time a call bet is made. This includes bets on neighbours, which are made on the racetrack.

Ballistic Methods and Sector Bets

Ballistic methods utilise the physics of the roulette wheel and ball. The two best-known methods involving ballistics are roulette computers, and visual ballistics. Essentially roulette computers are discrete electronic devices that measure ball and rotor speed, then predict where the ball will land.

Visual ballistics does much the same thing, except doesn’t use electronic devices. Instead, the play uses a variety of visual cues and observations.

In either case, after the player has determined the prediction, they have a short time in which to place bets. In most cases, the visual ballistics all roulette computer player aims to get predictions when the ball has 4 to 5 revolutions to go. This is because it usually gives the player enough time to bet, and when the ball is this speed, the revolutions and remaining time are most predictable.

The limited amount of time to place bets makes the Voisins Du Zero convenient for visual ballistics and roulette computer players. This is because instead of making a variety of individual bets to cover a sector, the player can make one convenient bet to cover a large area around zero.

There is a downside though. If the predicted number was twenty-two, then it’s right on the edge of the betting area. The ball may then land on number one, which is still in the correct area, but would be a loss.

So the only time and advantage player would use this type of bet is when the predicted number is central in the Voisins Du Zero segment. This would include only numbers such as zero, thirty-two, or twenty-six. These numbers are close to 0 and easily remembered, so the player doesn’t need to learn the layout of the whole wheel.

Roulette Bots – The player’s best friend… or the casino’s?

In the digital age gambling has changed considerably.

Card counting has been made more difficult by constantly shuffled decks; online poker makes friendly games far more accessible and there is now an enormous selection of slots games on offer, all boasting outstanding convenience and slick computer graphics.

The only game that hasn’t really changed is roulette. You can sit down for a game of Betfair online roulette and experience a game that’s almost the same as the one you get around the casino table.

That is… unless you’re using bots.

If you or another player are using bots, will that give you a better chance of winning  big?

Read on and find out!

What is a Bot?

First things first, we need to be sure we understand what a bot is.

The term can be used to cover a lot of meanings,  but the definition  we’re concerned with is ‘a piece of software that automatically runs a script on your behalf’. You’ll most commonly come across a bot on the internet having conversations through online chatrooms, their use here is so ubiquitous that it’s not uncommon to see two bots talking to each other.

The technology is getting so advanced that Google recently unveiled an AI script so advanced it can even hold a phone conversation. In addition, a number of sites utilise bots as a more intelligent operator of  scripts in order to enhance the user experience.

But what about roulette bots? How do they help?

What does a Roulette Bot do?

The main benefit of a bot in any game is that it can automate something you would otherwise need to do manually. A simple use of a roulette bot would be to set a consistent, but complicated, betting pattern that covers different areas with different quantities of chips, quickly and easily. If you have a certain system in mind, having a bot to automate your bets each spin seems like a great investment.

Some more astute readers might wonder if you could programme a bot to calculate where the wheel will land using an algorithm. But the pseudo random number generators (PRNGs) used by online casinos are extraordinarily complex and, realistically, you’re not going to find a bot that can crack it. If you see a site advertising that their bot can, it’s would be wise to  take  their statement with a pinch of salt.

Are they worth it?

This is a tricky question to answer; if you have a complicated strategy you’re hoping to use then a bot can help you to automate the process. In fact, anything that But, if the bot is offering you an instant win, then you should approach the software with deep suspicion.

The thing about PRNGs is that it is technically possible to predict where the ball will land as they’re only pseudo-random. They work by generating numbers from a seed number which serves as a starting point. So, if you have the seed number and a copy of the PRNG, you could potentially crack the algorithm but there’s nothing stopping the casino changing the number once they notice.

Furthermore, if the bot has been around for any length of time, you would think the casino would have caught wind of it by now and it would be odd for the script to still be working.

So what’s the point?

This might be a little hard to hear, but the guaranteed win bot is a scam.

Offering a means to automate your bets is a totally legitimate service, but if the bot has a secret method that ‘exploits’ something in the casino then I’m afraid you’ve probably fallen foul of a con artist trying to get something out of you.

But you aren’t alone. Despite their bad reputation, these bots continue to be downloaded for free and used by punters who are sadly unaware of their dishonest nature.

With that in mind, you might be wondering what the point of this is: why would someone bother advertising a product to you that they don’t want money for and which doesn’t work? The answer is usually found on the website itself with a list of sites that they claim will ’work’ with the exploit/method/algorithm that they have available.

Once you’ve downloaded the bot, all of those casinos will have a new sign-up who, it turns out, does not end up making a lot of money by playing roulette – but once they’ve started playing will be a great addition to the casino’s customer base.

Yes, the most likely role for these roulette bots is as a marketing ploy to try and recruit new players to a casino. Obviously, higher quality online casinos don’t need to stoop to these tactics, they just have a selection of the best casino games, best offers and quality customer service to entice players in the door.

That’s not to take away from all bots, as stated previously, if you have a bot that’s purely to automate a complex process to help you test out a system or place bets while you’re away, then go for it. But it won’t enhance your odds of victory unless you’ve managed to find a secret system.

The long and short of it is that you don’t need a roulette bot to win. Just luck! Now get out there and start playing.
