Abstract

A mechanical wheel casino game of chance (10) using a freely moving internal indicator such as a ball (150) within a housing (1100) to randomly move and bounce into one possible outcome segment (100) in a set (200) of possible outcome segments. The expected value is controlled through a combination of geometrical and mathematical considerations. The set (200) of possible outcome segments randomly picked and placed at the bottom (50) of the wheel (30) so that as the wheel (30) stops, the freely moving, bouncing ball (150) lands in one of the possible outcome segments. The segment the ball (150) lands in is sensed and the award associated with the landed in segment is paid out to the player. A periodic testing method determines whether mechanical bias exists in the casino game of chance (10).
