Video Roulette at Harrah's? TR Shuttle problems?

Was it a mirage or did I see some 25 and 50 cent video roulette games at a (very crowded) kiosk somewhere in Harrah%26#39;s? I saw them on our way out, so I didn%26#39;t have time to wait and investigate. Could anyone explain how they work? The only ones I ever played were 5 dollar ones at Delaware Park.

Hey, whazzup with the Total Rewards Shuttle? Sunday evening at Showboat we waited 45 minutes and the one that came was the wrong route, but we were so cold, hungry and desperate we took it. Heard others on the shuttle buzzing that there have been over one hour waits. Took the jitney back, timeliness overcame our fear for our lives and thriftiness!

Yeah, Harrahs has video roulette. It%26#39;s really prevalent in Vegas and I don%26#39;t know why it%26#39;s not in more AC casinos. On the plus side it%26#39;s single-zero, on the other side it doesn%26#39;t use en prison rules (so you don%26#39;t get half your even-money bets back on a zero).

If you prefer playing numbers it%26#39;s a better choice than the tables. If you prefer playing red/black, I believe the machine game wins by a slight margin. If you play the thirds (first third, second third, first column, etc), you%26#39;ll want to stick with the machines too.

From what I hear they%26#39;re always packed. There was a post concerning getting Diamond In A Day about a month ago here by playing red and black on the machine, but it pays RCs at video poker level ($10 = 1 point), so DIAD would cost you $1,080.00 or so, with no chance of winning using that strategy at all.

i saw it all over in vegas,but didnt play,I played the tables, whats odd is in vegas the kiosk for rapid roulette was always empty,didnt notice them in AC so not if its just a new novelty in ac or what? great tip on rewards credits, I was wondering if they used slot formula or vp. I usually play 3rd line ,but enjoy the tables but ill see what happens next month wwhen im there.

I WAITED 45 MINUTES MYSELF SATURDAY! only the one route that went from the boat to harrahs came...i needed to get to caesars - i just cabbed it over.

Is the video roulette you are referring to a single unit, like a slot machine? I was on a cruise recently and they had a version of roulette that was a big round structure with about 10-12 seats around it, and in the middle was the wheel (it was an actual wheel, not digital). Each of the seats had it%26#39;s own screen where you could move digital chips around to bet and also watch the outcome. There were no dealers involved, and the game just kept going even when nobody was playing. It was pretty cool, I%26#39;ve never seen it anywhere else, and people were making a killing off this game. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this and knows where (besides the NCL Star) it can be found.

ive never seen it as a stand alone machine like a slot?,the ones ive seen were as luv breeze describes,only they did have 2 sort of dealers,assising players and running the game,at least thats what they have in vegas.

LuvBreezes,

I saw the version you are talking in a casino in St. Martin last summer. Loved playing it. Would love to see it sometime in AC or Vegas.

The one with the REAL ROULETTE WHEEL in the middle is RAPID ROULETTE- if you bet on individual computer screens. We asked why it wasn%26#39;t in AC, and they said it was in for approval, whatever that means. We love that game- it is all over Las Vegas, but the very first one was at Harrahs Las Vegas.

About the shuttles, VERY LONG WAITS!! And VERY LONG LINES WAITING !! They only have 3 buses making the rounds and they are really being used in the last few weeks, we were there twice and tried to use them, couldn%26#39;t casino hop in a short length of time that%26#39;s for sure!! I guess more people started using them and now the lines are back, even without gold members. I wonder what they will do now!!

Was the video roulette at Harrahs really lower than $1.00????? If so I wish I knew that I would%26#39;ve definitely played. They have nickel, dime, quarter machines in Las Vegas, but you have to watch- at the Stratosphere they gave NO PLAYING CREDIT for playing the machines. They are the machines they have in PA casinos and they call them ';table games'; along with the video blackjack tables.

I thought Rapid Roulette was the one with the dealers? The one I%26#39;m describing has no live people whatsoever; just a computer-generated voice that says ';no more bets';, and ';the winning number is...';

You put your money in a feeder just like a slot machine, and cash out your ticket when you want to leave. There are a few slot-type roulette games at the Hilton, two are for quarters and two are dollars. The wheel is a video and it%26#39;s on the upper half of the screen; so you sit in front of it and look up to see the action.

Vashtara,Shuttles are a Joke,Have been ever since they started them.Have to laugh everytime I go by and see the LOOOOOOOONG lines.

Whoops :-D missed that little part, it sounds like automated rapid roulette though :-) How does the ball spin? does something spit it out to spin it? About the shuttles we have had good luck with them, they are nice if you are drinking and don%26#39;t want to have to drive, but they are just too busy now. They will have to do something to fix it because I am sure they are getting tons of complaints!
