How does the speed of the rotor affect the house edge?

[Julio88]

The speed of the rotor in a roulette wheel can affect the house edge in a few different ways. Faster rotors will allow the ball to land more quickly and with more accuracy, which can lead to a lower house edge. Slower rotors, on the other hand, can cause the ball to bounce more and have a greater chance to land in a pocket other than the one it was aimed at, leading to a higher house edge. Additionally, faster rotors can reduce the amount of time between spins, allowing for more spins in a shorter period of time, which can also lead to a higher house edge.

While the rotor's speed has no effect on the house edge, it can change some gambling elements. For instance, increased rotor speeds might cause faster gambling rounds, enabling players to place more bets in a given amount of time.

In the context of casino games, the term "rotor" typically refers to the rotating part of a roulette wheel on which the ball spins before coming to a stop. The speed of the rotor can indeed have an impact on the house edge, although it is not a direct factor in determining the odds of the game.

The house edge in roulette is primarily determined by the layout and design of the wheel, specifically the arrangement of numbers and the presence of the green 0 (and 00 in American roulette).
