Can the croupier influence the resting sector of the ball?

[Julio88]

Yes, the croupier can influence the resting sector of the ball in roulette. This action is performed by controlling the speed and spin of the wheel, as well as the speed and spin of the ball, in a game of roulette. The croupier can also influence the sector of the wheel that the ball has the most likelihood of landing in, by virtue of where they release the ball from. These factors, combined with the tilt of the wheel, can influence the sector that the ball lands in.

I feel is generally accepted in the gambling industry that the croupier cannot influence the resting sector of the ball in a game of roulette. The outcome of each spin is determined by chance and the laws of physics, such as the velocity and trajectory of the ball and the friction of the wheel.

The natural rhythm of the croupier when dealing may cause the ball to circle the roulette wheel the same number of times as it did on earlier spins, which could have an impact on the ball's ultimate resting place. That being said, it should be noted that this dealer signs documents subconsciously.
