Sure, this
specific scenario may be extremely rare, but not impossible. But 'strange' things happen far more often than you would think.
Of course there is the possibility that the ball just happened to land there between the numbers and get stuck.
The ball physically can land in-between the numbers. Moreover, centrifugal force with the wheel spinning makes it far more likely to stay in place.
Go ahead a flip a coin an infinite number of times, even though its a million to one shot, you will eventually get a result that is neither heads, nor tails, because the coin will land directly on its side without falling over. It's the same principal. Extremely unlikely, but, these things happen when you do something over, and over again enough times.

The most important part though, is that the casino simply doesn't give a fuck where the ball lands.
They don't care how much or how little they pay out over a particular spin. Because over the lifetime of the game, they will profit.
Why would they manipulate it? No matter what result they manipulate, they will end up paying
someone out for that spin.
Have I seen this specific scenario? Yes, actually.
The ball has landed directly between two numbers. I was perplexed, asked the floor manager what to do, and it was just a no-spin. He said this without a second thought and just briefly laughed.
I've seen things that are even stranger than this. So, you can not be 'sure' that I, or anyone else hasn't. No matter how unlikely.
Yes? Activating the pressurised air will release the ball from the position it is stuck in? I don't see the point you're making?
I'm not suggesting that someone probably benefited from it. I'm certain someone benefited from it.
So you're saying that over all the online casino's that use Evolution as a provider, and all the players playing at any particular moment in time, they calculate which result is going to pay out the least and 'rig' it accordingly?
I don't even want to get started on that, as this reply is long enough already. But please, just apply a little logic and common sense. It would be super easy to prove that if it was the case. The regulatory bodies regularly evaluate things like this to ensure fairness. Not to mention the logistics of how these games actually operate and being able to implement that over a spin-by-spin basis would be insane.
No, you don't have any evidence, and you nor anyone else will never have it. Because it's simply not rigged.
If you can't understand simple maths and probability, then that's your issue and you shouldn't be playing these games. Every one of your theories, because that's all they are, are completely unfounded. If you want the data sample, go and ask the providers for them, they will happily give it to you, or even better, conduct an experiment yourself to put what you claim to the test.
No one ever said that I think everything in the world is fair. I know that better than most. But I also know that these live games from reputable operators are positively not influenced in any way. That's because again, they don't need to be. The amount of profit the generate operating within the advertised RTP is astronomical enough already.
It doesn't help much?
Okay, so the next time you want expert advice on how something operates in any niche, I would recommend that you go for someone with no industry experience or knowledge in the field. When you want advice on how to get your car repaired, don't go to the mechanic with years of experience.
Of course the gaming industry changes all the time. Just like any industry, it has to change and evolve to keep up and stay relevant. Again, I don't see what this adds to your statement.
Actually, I regularly contribute to game design for a number of different providers as a consultant. For me to be able to perform my role, I have to have an extremely thorough understanding of how everything in the games operate.
I am both a heavy gambler as well as having the perspective from the other side of the table. Believe me when I say I would be the first person to post all over the internet, and report to the gaming commission and regulators, to expose anything shady, untoward or simply unfair that I came across. Even if I had a suspicion, I would call it out.

I can reply to each and every one of your replies with some sound logic, some simple maths and probability, and some common sense.
If you genuinely think that these games, or any others are manipulated in any way, you should file a report with the MGA, the UKGC and every other reputable authority. They will conduct a thorough investigation if you can provide any basis on why you believe the games are manipulated and provide you with the outcome of the investigation. Until that point, it's like banging my head against the wall.
