At the beginning of the year, a guest caused quite a stir at the Casino Seefeld. He kept playing the small series (sequence starting with 5, 8, 10, 11, 23, 30, also known as le tiers du cylindre – third of the wheel) and was spot on every time – eventually netting a proud total of 345,000 euros!
“The combo came up eleven times in a row. You don’t see that every day,” says Thomas Erhardt, new Head of Operations Manager, about this amazing lucky streak.
Compared to the simple roulette game options, the small series – one of many possible variations that can be played in American roulette – is only played rarely. In this option, a player bets on the numbers opposite the so-called “neighbours of zero”. This comprises the numbers 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16 and 33. Mathematically, a player’s odds of winning are 32.4%, with a payout of 17:1.
For this particular guest at Casino Seefeld, this means Lady Luck wasn’t just generous, but also in the right place at the right time.
