ZERO strikes at Burswood Casino

Living not too far from Burswood Casino, in Perth, I often go there for a coffee and each time I also try to understand why so many people gamble so much and how the games work. It’s interesting to understand for instance that the gambling chips on the roulette tables are sorted by a machines that selects them according to the colours, as each colour has a slightly different weight. But one night I noticed something that seemed a bit "unusual" as the zeros were statistically four times normal… Roulette tables have a little screen attached, giving the last twelve results, so statistically, as you see about a third of the total of the numbers on the table, you should see that number repeated every three screens. At the casino I could compare the table’s screens to the other roulette digital games that shows the last 36 numbers on their screens and the sequence of zeros wasn’t so high at all. Inside the casino you can’t take photos but they provide you with little pencils and paper (file 000) to write your numbers and these came very useful. Why is it so suspect if zeros and double zeros are into every table’s screen? Simply because when winning the casino pays for the zeros only and not for the number plus red or black and for the other options you may bet on, so the casino wins more money. So as any good citizen would, on 25/10/2017, I wrote to the Police Commissioner (file 001) whose suggestion in his answer (file 002) was that I wrote to the Department of Local Government. Meanwhile I went to the Casino again to verify if the numbers’ situation (file 003) and wrote to the Sheriff (file 004), who didn’t answer to my letter. So I wrote an email (file 005) and a letter (file 006) to the Minister Papalia, informing him on this situation. Papalia’s answer came after emails exchanges (files 007, 008, 009) stating that during the last inspection "there were no issues identified with the roulette wheels that would affect the result on each spin". Obviously I kept investigating (files 010, 011, 012, 013, 013) and the roulettes screens for some times kept giving "extraordinary" results, while as an interesting coincidence James Packer, the billionaire owner of Burswood Casino, whose other Casino in Melbourne underwent a poker machine’s manipulation scandal in recent times, on 21 March 2018 resigned as an executive chairman of Crown Resorts, due to mental health issues. "Mr James Packer today resigned from the board of Crown Resorts Ltd for personal reasons," a spokesperson for Mr Packer's company, Consolidated Press Holdings, said in a statement. Was it a coincidence? Just as the numbers? Who knows. The local mass-media seemed not to be too interested in this potential scandal, unless I told them on the phone what was about and a journalist of a TV station recently landed in Perth even hung up on me… bad landing, luckily it wasn’t the moon… So my last chance was to try again and write to the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor (file 014) to see if finally they were interested in viewing my independent research, stating in my letter that the news might have leaked in the meanwhile but they only confirmed (file 015) the Minister’s words in his previous answer.

Re: Crown Casino Perth

Dear Mr. Chris Dawson , On the night of October, 22nd 2017 I was at Crown Casino, observing the roulette tables and I focused on something that I noticed before, the fact that 0 and 00 win often. That night I was in a position where I could simultaneously observe six of the little screens attached to each table, five $2.50 tables and one $5 table; Each screen shows the last 12 winning numbers and when I was there I could see on those six screens eight 0 (zeros) and one 00 (double zeros). The probability a single number wins on a roulette table is 1/38 (2.63%) on a double zero table and 1/37 (2.70%) on a zero table, so if we multiply the 12 numbers I could see on each screen per the number of screens (six) we have 72 last winning numbers and that’s nearly the equivalent of the set of numbers that are on two tables, so excluding the double zero, the eight zeros I could see were statistically four times normal. When 0 and 00 wins, the Casino wins more as they don’t have to pay bets on red, black etc., so if the Crown Casino Perth did set their tables in a way that these two numbers win more often, their (illegal in this case) profit would be much higher. Obviously I could not take photos but I’m sure a few of your detectives with hidden cameras could prove all this, if this is the case and what I’ve noticed more than once wasn’t just a coincidence.

Best regards Matteo Cornelius Sullivan

Messrs Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor ,

I think that Burswood Casino’s roulette tables are controlled by a computer as statistically the sequences of numbers are absolutely impossible.

During October and November 2017 I wrote several letters to the Sheriff, the Police Commissioner and to the Minister Papalia with the only result that I think now the news has leaked.
