So throwing a few things back there to all that have just commented and whoever else wants to chip in...
1) so Playtech made a wheel that was controlled.... so its easy enough to do...
2) thats a naive outlook " why would they cheat the maths is made so they dont have too" Cmon, why are there so many rogue casinos out there.... maths says they dont have to be rogue.... GREED... same reason RTP is altered and why roulette balls magically bounce out after coming to a rest....
3) heres a Tin hat theory for you..... I have one on slots too thats similar.... but
@neilw, you say you have seen behind a wheel....
whats to say its the wheel they use.... maybe thats the one they show the authorities.....
also would you agree that the wheel (assuming its not controlled) can be subject to a certain amount of control by the host.... who after being hired and practising as its not subject to any interference like in roulette with the diamonds, should be able to judge release speed and position = a certain areas... known to players as being in collect mode... as each wheel always has a dead area
