Because the payouts are calculated based on an empty board, the odds favor the player as more balls fill the roulette wheel. For example, on an empty board, the payout of a single slot (×12) matches its probability (1/12). After five spins, the payout remains the same ×12, but the probability of a win increases to 1/7, giving the player a 71% edge<!-- 12/7 ~= 1.71 --> on the final spin. This comes out to approximately a 30.64% advantage over all spins<!-- average of 12/12 + 12/11 + 12/10 + 12/9 + 12/8 + 12/7 ~= 1.3064 -->; this advantage can theoretically become even greater given that the roulette wheel spins relatively slowly and it is somewhat possible for the player to time the release of the ball. The odds favor the player in the long run, but the small bet amounts inhibit winning fortunes quickly. (In this way, on service days when the Game Corner increases the maximum bet on the roulette table and advertises that this "improves your luck", it does in fact increase the rate at which the player can make a profit.) | Because the payouts are calculated based on an empty board, the odds favor the player as more balls fill the roulette wheel.
