Ladbrokes Betting Terminals
|
Ladbrokes betting terminals initially had the highest limits out of all their competitors, with £100 maximum per number, paying £3500 if it hit. They also introduced the 'turbo' option which gave players the chance to lose all their money at incredible speed without even seeing a ball. |
These, and other actions by various suppliers of FOBT caused the industry to be lightly regulated. Now the maximum amount per spin is £100, a maximum of two spins per minute, and a maximum win of £500 per spin, and of course a maximum of four terminals per shop.
There is currently no maximum to the amount of games per terminal, and Ladbrokes at the moment has close to 30 different games, including several varieties of roulette, a few card games, virtual dogs and horses, and a large number of slot games including a couple of £70 jackpot machines, and now scratch card based games.

The majority, but not all of their games are random. You should read the help of individual games to see which is random and which is compensated, but as a general rule the £70 games are compensated and several of the card games are also compensated, with the rest being random.
Since Ladbrokes terminals were purchased by Games Media, their roulette terminals have changed slightly, and the roulette games are now mostly the same as those found in Corals.
The way the machines now receive the random number is also the same as Coral.
Many people are wary of FOBT but play them anyway! There is a lack of trust in anything electronic, even if the odds are truly random as they say. There is no way for a member of the public to verify this and no way to verify if the visual odds are the same as the true odds.
Betting on Ladbrokes terminals is easy and the same as any of the other roulette terminals, however the graphics are different depending on the type of roulette game you are playing. The original roulette wheel that was with Ladbrokes from their launch is still there, and a new SiS (Coral) version wheel is also on each terminal.
Once you have placed your bet (£1 minimum), as soon as you press spin the outcome has already been decided. The ball spinning is just for show. Many players can now tell where the ball will land, or be pretty close to it. This has no benefit whatsoever, but the betting operators know some of the punters think they have an advantage, and so will play more. Many regular players also claim to know that X number always follows Y number. This of course is complete nonsense and these people usually look pretty poor!

Because the stakes are limited, it is very difficult to win large amounts of money, and although it is possible, it is rare to see winnings go beyond £1000. If you have lost more than £500, it becomes increasingly unlikely that you will get it back.
To summarise, there is unfortunately no winning method for Ladbrokes roulette terminals. There are however lots of stories that go with them, so why not post your experiences and comments below?
