Do casinos use magnets to affect the outcome of the roulette wheel? Many people have asked me this question and the short answer is yes, there are casinos in the world that cheat.
Keep in mind that when you are playing roulette, no matter what you do, the odds are always in favor of the casino. If they just played straight up without cheating they would still win more than they lose so there is no reason for them to attempt to sway the results of any game.
Any reputable casino such as Caesars, Harrahs, MGM, etc. does not need to use magnets or any other methods to rob their customers of winnings. The fact is they will win most times. That is how they built those beautiful hotels and casinos.
But depending on where you go, you may find some smaller casinos that do not get much traffic that will use items like magnets to increase the odds of them winning. If you walk into a casino and there are only 3 other people in the place, I would look for another place to wager.
The process of using magnets on a roulette wheel is very simple, and yes it has and is being used in some unscrupulous casinos around the world. Simply placing magnets below the wheel and using a magnetic ball can and will affect the outcome of the spin. But roulette is a very random game even without the use of magnets so in most cases the players will never know that they are in use.
There are other ways the casinos can alter the results of the spin. Minor adjustments to the metal slots around the numbers can also change the spin results. loosening the slots or changing the width by a fraction can also sway the ball into a certain number.
When you play on a standard wheel you may see some patterns. If you read my post on how to win big at roulette you will notice that I recommend playing the 5 numbers on either side of the last spin for the best chance of hitting the number. This holds true more often than not. If you see a pattern where the ball jumps all over the table you may want to consider moving along.
Chances of a casino using magnets to affect the roulette wheel are pretty slim and I wouldn't worry in most cases. Stick to reputable casinos and you can rest easy knowing they are comfortable knowing they will take your money without any added tricks since the odds are in their favor.
Good luck on your next trip to the roulette wheel. Here's hoping you win big!!!
Please gamble responsibly.
