Can the shape of the roulette pockets influence randomness?

[Julio88]

It seems that the design and shape of the roulette pockets can impact the predictability or randomness of the ball landing in a particular pocket. However, it is not clear whether or not a specific pocket shape can reliably influence the outcome, since roulette is ultimately still a game of chance. In general, the randomness of the ball's landing in a particular pocket is influenced by numerous factors, including the speed of the ball and the wheel, the angle of the wheel, and the types of pockets on the wheel. Ultimately, the outcome of a roulette game is determined by chance and cannot be reliably predicted.

The wheel and pockets were made with a constant ball bouncing pattern in mind. The ball deflects and bounces randomly as it rotates the wheel because to the size and shape of the pockets. Fair results are largely dependent on this randomness.
