I saw that game at the Rio last month.
While it would increase the number of spins/hour, not an advantage to the player, there are some positive aspects that I could see.
More people can play. There have been times I wanted a seat at a wheel at a casino and there weren't any available.
The circular layout of the video terminals would give players more elbow room.
No bumping into people while trying to place your bets and no people knocking drinks over onto the felt trying to place bets.
Accurate tracking of play for those who take advantage of casino comps.
No question about when the "no more bets" wave is made, the machines would lock out any late bets. ...had a guy get really irate at a table I was playing at the Gold Coast last month when the dealer pushed back a late bet, and the the ball landed on that number.
Accurate payoffs. While most wheel dealers are very good at calculating a payoff and delivering it, I've caught mistakes.
No controversies about roulette harvesting... Of course such a system should never be put into play on a wheel that utilizes denominational jetons and plaques....
