Roulette Checkmate: Scam or Easy Money Maker?

Want to know how to win at roulette? There’s only one guaranteed way I know of, and that’s the potentially costly method of placing a bet on a single number and continuing to make that same wager until eventually, it hits. Of course, you’d need an unlimited bankroll for that, and could easily lose money long before you win, but eventually, yes, your number will hit.

Or, you could try a betting system, like Martingale, but they all have their flaws – namely a casino’s table limits – and the profits are generally very small anyway.

I’m not a big roulette player myself, because the game just doesn’t offer the same minimization towards the house edge that you can find in games like blackjack (with the proper strategy, that is). But then I came across this nifty little download for what claims to be winning roulette software.

It’s called Roulette Checkmate, and comes in various platforms, each developed to suit different types of players. It’s developers made a lot of sensational claims about its accuracy, so I had to take a closer look.

How It Works

Once downloaded, the user is supposed to sit back and watch the casino’s live or online roulette wheel play out, recording the numbers that hit. Then, they input those numbers into the software, which will spit out a series of numbers for you to bet on next.

Like I said, there are many versions of Roulette Checkmate (RC-2, RC-3, RC-6, etc.). Some give players 2 numbers, 3 numbers, 6 numbers, or even 9 numbers to bet on. I’ll use the basic instructions for RC-6 (6 numbers) for the following example.

The player is meant to place a wager on each of the 6 numbers provided and let them ride until a number hits. They should then remove that bet, but keep the others in play. Once three of the numbers come up, all remaining bets should be removed, and the software initiated again (enter the last 6 many numbers that hit, and get a new set of 6).

Here’s the weird part, though. When you first start the software, the company recommends watching the roulette wheel (not actually playing, or if you must play, betting on both Red and Black, if allowed) until the same number hits consecutively, (i.e. an 8 strikes twice in a row). Next, you’re supposed to let the wheel spin two more times, then enter the last 6 numbers that hit. This is supposed to give you the most accurate results.

Is Roulette Checkmate A Scam?

Seeing that it’s available for desktop, mobile and tablets, my first thought was to download it and try it out. Then I saw the €30 + VAT price tag and my resolved faltered.

See, I’m a skeptic, and I know full well that online roulette games are based on sophisticated RNG technology, and that’s not something no person or computer program should ever be able to predict. If it could, casinos would be out of business. It all seems highly improbable, no matter how equally sophisticated the so-called winning roulette software may be. So instead of shelling out all that money, I decided to take a scientific approach and do some research first.

Like any great scientist, I started by seeking out the data of other scientists who’ve already tread the path before me. And by ‘scientist’ (it’s just an analogy), I mean anyone who’s actually used the software before and scripted the unbiased details of their experiences.

What I found was one website after another telling me how great the product is. “It really works! – Roulette Checkmate is great! – You’ll win for sure (but not guaranteed)!”

Yes, unfortunately, all I had found was a bunch of crack-pot webmasters who are simply trying to help sell the product. After all, Roulette Checkmate does offer a nice 30% commission program for affiliates. Pfft!

Then finally, I found what I was looking for. On a secluded roulette forum, the company had posted a nice big advertisement for it’s pay-to-use betting system, and the community response was not a positive one. In fact, not a single person (except the guy trying to sell it) had a good thing to say, and most of them had actually paid money to use the supposed winning roulette software.

The general consensus was just as I’d expected from the start. This was no magical winning roulette software, but another RNG program providing numbers that were about likely to hit as if you’d picked them out of a hat.

Can I say with certainty that it does or does not work? No. After all, I didn’t buy it. Maybe you think I’m working for a competitor, trying to deface a rival brand? No, that’s not the case. All I am is a sensible, intelligent person with enough sense to spot a gimmick when I see one. And in my opinion – yes, this is just an opinion – Roulette Checkmate is not going to make you a winning roulette player.

The good news, for any optimist willing to give it a try, is that Roulette Checkmate offers a money back guarantee to all customers within 60 days of receipt of payment. So there’s that.
