They have the automated roulette wheels at Thunder Valley - but no chips - all the betting is done via touch screens. It is an actual roulette wheel that spins all the time - the ball is fired from the top - at varying speeds I would guess. When it drops into a number all the payouts lite up - then the center of the device raises up and the ball is taken back inside and shot out again. The whole mechanism is enclosed and there are no attendants - strictly TITO.

You are right - I don't think Thunder Valley is in the same class as Foxwoods.

The other Indian casinos are quite a ways from I-80.
