Roulette Computer

I'm in the middle of testing the final version of the roulette computer (before release). Please understand the computer is not a simple device with a few lines of code, so thorough testing is extremely time consuming - especially since when one part of the code is changed, everything must be tested again to ensure there aren't any conflicts or bugs. In particularly the two player version is extremely complex.

While the testing is being done, the hardware is having an additional modification, which should be done by the technician by the time testing is complete anyway.

Additionally, I'll have a new wheel around Wednesday, so I should be able to do a new DVD for all players. The video can be in high definition if requested. The wheel perfectly matches the conditions of wheels in modern casinos.

All up, all coding is done and now it's just a matter of the final testing, reporting back to the developers with any bugs etc. I'm aiming to have all testing done by the end of the week, and will start packaging the computers in the following week. If it's not all done by then, it will be soon after.

Everyone's continued patience is appreciated. I'm very much looking forward to everyone receiving the computer to see what it's capable of.

Calls today - starting at 10am

Today I'll be replying to my emails until 10am, after which I'll start taking calls. Doing it this way will be more efficient as some of you may be calling about emails you sent.

Email backlog

Please be patient while I work through a large backlog of emails. I expected to be complete by the end of today, but I didn't have time to finish. I will still be taking calls tomorrow, but please understand I have to clear my emails so keep questions via phone/skype short and to the point.

Phone calls & emails

I'm in the middle of a lot of admin and paperwork, so I wont be available for calls today. I have a meeting later today so wont have time to address emails or spin analysis. I'll respond to all emails tomorrow, although I wont be available for calls until Thursday.

Roulette computers & spin analysis

Spin analysis: with the exception of 1-2 sets of spins, all spin analysis is up to date.

Roulette computers: Coding for the new features is complete. Accuracy and practicality is excellent. In particularly for a wheel that (by traditional analysis) produces a near "random scatter", results were very good. Testing with other computers on the same spins yielded virtually no accuracy. With the developers, I am now doing final testing which will realistically take about a week because we are doing everything possible to force hardware/software crashes, so any bugs can be found and fixed. So far we've only found minor bugs which are easily fixed. I expect all testing are fixes to be complete in around a week, then I'll package everything for shipping in the following week. I'm working almost full-time on this (in between other work), so just because I'm not emailing you directly about it doesn't mean progress isn't being made.

Computer testing

Coding for the latest roulette computer version is complete, and now I'm just testing to check for bugs etc. This will be done over the next few days - it's a very tedious and time consuming process and with current progress I expect to be done possibly by the end of this week, but more likely by the end of next week at which time I'll be ready to ship.

Also I'm in the process of buying a Cammegh roulette wheel. I should have it within roughly 2-3 weeks, at which time I'll create a new DVD. But the DVD will likely be ready a week or so after the latest computer is complete, so I'll ship it separately unless you want to wait a bit longer. Partners do not need to pay for the DVDs - a small fee is required for computer purchasers.

Calls today

I'll be taking calls today, although I'll be in a meeting from 10:30am - 12pm. I'll then have lunch and will be available again from 1pm - 2pm. If you are unable to reach me today, I'll also be available for parts of tomorrow.
