why is live roulette sometimes slower than automated versions

Noticed this a lot lately, especially late at night. The live roulette tables run way slower than those automated wheels. Sometimes you’re just sitting there waiting for the next spin, dealer’s messing with chips or waiting for someone at the table to finish their bet. Automated versions just go spin after spin, no downtime. I get there’s a human element and maybe some security checks or whatever, but it does mess with momentum, like when a baseball game drags on for no reason. Does the slower pace actually give any kind of edge or is it just part of the live dealer vibe?

slow pace just drags out the nerves for me, not seeing any edge. bet365 locking regions after deposit stings way worse.

momentum loss is just noise, not an edge, like dead spins in slots. i still get more tilted waiting for bet confirmation than losing a chip.

agree, but slower pace can actually help with bankroll management since you place fewer bets per hour and tilt-driven overspending hits harder on quickfire games. ever notice how table limits on live roulette sort of encourage measured play?

yep, those wait times are real, but i've found the unpredictability can mess with bonus tracking too (especially if you're juggling wagering requirements on sites like netbet). ever accidentally miss a spin because the dealer or software lagged? it's maddening.

Agreed, and that lag also invites more second-guessing, which can really mess with decision making, especially on streak-heavy tables. Ever notice how online casinos rarely flag dealer errors unless you chase them down?

i get the dealer adds a social vibe, but slower live roulette just amps up distractions and lets nerves creep in, especially on crypto casinos where chat can get wild fast. last week i watched a wheel glitch mid-spin on bet365 and nobody flagged it till after payouts.

Slower pace means more time to watch for shady dealer habits or software bugs. Ever catch a payout error during a late-night session on Bet365?
