Still confused as to how they rigged the roulette games


Can anyone explain how those rigged balls fixed the roulette games?

Loaded balls delivered by the pit boss who they bribed.

So how exactly do they make the "loaded balls" land on the number they want????

Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

They really can't which is probably why they didn't go into it. The only thing I could think of would be a magnet but that would be damn near impossible to pull off on roulette.

There is also wedge betting but that isn't a sure thing and you don't need a loaded ball to do it.

That doesn't explain how they achieve their goal of winning the roulette. I guess that's the hardest part, and director skipped it.

That is a good question about the roulette. Here is another: the guy that they had try out the cheating system who got caught. the oceans crew is portrayed to have some kind of connection with the the people that help them, like when Danny helped out the guy in debt for the slot back door. Or pretty much the other people they come in contact with. So if this roulette guy got caught cheating, why didn't we see a follow up To bail him out or there's some kind of ending scene to show "hey, we're sorry it didn't work" instead of just letting him hang out to dry and not getting closure.

Maybe the guy was a cheat/con man/thief who does this kind of thing professionally and the guys hire him to test out the new casino. If that was the case, then his being violently thrown out or arrested is just a risk of the job.
