Firstly we have to get over what, legally and in a UK court of law, could be deemed to be 'random'.
Does anyone out there, and there must be some RNG programmers who work for the big sites that read this stuff, know if indeed the RNGs used by the bookmakers (Global Draw Roulette/Scientific Games for Coral, for example) can be biased against the numbers you pick, particularly if you are winning. I'm not concerned with the potential non-randomness of the actual software number generator and any accidental flaws in it, it's the actual decision on the final number to be drawn and whether the machine conscientiously is known to be able to pick a number to maximise your loss/minimise your win.
Your thoughts would be appreciated but ultimately your proof would be even better. I'm sure we've all got stories of people betting on 36 numbers only for the machine to chose the 37th one but that's not proof!

In corals I had 2 machines side by side come up with same numbers 3 times in a row
random ??
I doubt it very much
Played on the roulette machines in casino last night and they work off a real wheel
had a nice touch when £5 on 20 came in for me
