UkraineAutomated roulette wheels work by automating both the spinning of the wheel and the movement of the ball, eliminating the need for a dealer. In this setup, the wheel has a fixed base and a rotating rotor with numbered pockets. Surrounding the rotor is a sloped ball track where the ball moves before landing in one of the pockets.
The ball is propelled from one pocket onto the track through air jets. Each pocket features a hole that connects to an air injection system; when the rotor aligns the hole with a stationary air nozzle, a puff of air launches the ball onto the track. Additional air jets along the track keep the ball rolling, simulating the typical spin.
A computer-controlled motor ensures precise control of the rotor's speed, with the ability to reverse direction to mimic a dealer's movements. Sensors detect the ball's landing spot, and random changes in the rotor speed and air jet timings add unpredictability, ensuring a fair game. This design is mechanically simpler than older versions that used trap doors or moving rims, leading to less maintenance and improved randomness. A transparent cover ensures the ball remains visible at all times, enhancing the player's overall experience.
