What are the odds of that? Roulette wheel hits SEVEN straight 19s



Gamblers in Las Vegas are used to seeing some high odds.

But even the most veteran of gamesters would have been shocked to see one roulette wheel hit the same number on seven consecutive spins.

The amazing occurrence, the odds of which happening are 114billion to one, happened at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino.

Lucky number: A roulette wheel in the Rio All Suite Casino and Hotel in Last Vegas hit 19 seven times in a row

Pro poker player Jeff Romano took a picture of the roulette wheel display screen, which clearly shows a run of seven straight spins landing on the number 19.

On Twitter where Mr Romano posted the picture, he also said it made it look like the game had been fixed.

‘Yea roulette wheel at the rio isn't rigged,’ he tweeted .

The sequence was broken when the wheel landed on 15 but then hit 19 once again.

Winnings: If you'd placed a $1 bet and then bet all your winnings on each consecutive bet, you could have walked away with almost $2billion

Roulette, which means ‘little wheel’ in French, is one of the most popular games in a casino, as it works by placing a bet on a ball landing on one of 36 numbers.

The game also has a reputation for being one of the worst payers, as the odds are stacked in the house’s favour.

However, with this phenomenon, if you’d placed a casual one dollar bet on the number 19 and then followed the rule of placing your winnings on your next bet – and doing it seven times, you would have won big.
