What is Roulify and how is it trying to revolutionize the world of roulette? Let's find out together in this dedicated article
Artificial intelligence does not seem to want to spare any aspect of our daily lives, from professional to recreational ones. And if until not too long ago board games seemed immune to any type of technological contamination, today things have changed.
Just discover the all-Italian project of roulify.it which has developed the software of the same name with the ambitious aim of improving the chances of success at roulette, designed for those who have the ambition of maximizing the effectiveness of their bet.
Artificial intelligence at the service of gaming
The declared objective of Roulify is not to challenge the house or to ensure winnings for the player, but to provide data and ideas based on an algorithm that analyzes the statistics of dozens of online roulette games, supporting the player with some information summary which you will then be free to choose whether to use or not.
In this sense, the functioning of Roulify is different from that of traditional forms of artificial intelligence which are based on machine learning: it does not play against the system, but provides a role as a consultant (or, if you prefer, as a prompter) to the player.
Roulify in fact tries to create combinations based on the delays of the numbers generated by the Random Number Generator (which is the algorithm responsible for the random generation of the numbers on which the game is based), thus providing information to the player on which bet to make to increase his bets. opportunity for success.
Let us remember, once again, that there are no guarantees of winning: those who, therefore, think they have found the panacea to all their gaming misfortunes, would do well to change their perspective.
How Roulify's software works
Currently the developers have released Roulify in two different versions, each of which is designed to meet specific needs of its customers.
The first is a basic version called STAR. By activating the option, you get an estimate of the probability of a particular event based on 1000 delays, thus informing the user when the RNG might make it possible.
The second is a more sophisticated version called MAX. In this case the algorithm is trained on a larger set of daily, weekly and monthly statistics, and is able to provide suggestions on roulette bets by analyzing the delay of combinations. The level of statistical analysis is more in-depth, thus allowing more experienced players to have an even higher level of awareness.
In short, the purpose of the software is not to replace the user but to act as a trusted advisor, offering the player informed support if he wishes to approach online roulette with a new strategy and a renewed approach.
An interesting experiment
Roulify is, therefore, an interesting experiment in the application of artificial intelligence on roulette, a board game that has no experience of use with AI and which, therefore, will put this software to the test.
Things are very different when it comes to other typical casino games. For example, a reflection can go to Libratus, a poker bot launched in 2017 and which caused discussion for its ability to get the better of human professional players in Texas Hold'em (No Limit) games.
Unlike the bots that were developed previously, Libratus did not have a precise mapping of the actions to be performed, but through the use of an algorithm it was able to decide, from time to time, which action to take.
Even in this case, however, it is best to turn off easy enthusiasm. In addition to admitting that the use of such a bot requires uncommon computational power, it is also true that the use of artificial intelligence is much more advanced by the casinos themselves, who are exploiting AI to understand who is placing illicit or unwanted behavior is taking place.
In other words, casinos are able to use artificial intelligence to understand whether their players' activities are regular or not. In short, if a player were to play poker hands that were too “perfect” because they were assisted by AI, the casino's artificial intelligence itself would probably notice it, adopting the necessary behaviors to prevent the spread of such activities which are evidently inconsistent with the casino's regulations. same playing facilities.
With these perspectives, it is reasonable to imagine that artificial intelligence will be increasingly integrated on both sides (player and casino) and that a good compromise can only be reached in the use of these tools, to the benefit of the regularity of the game and of fun which, in any case, must be prevalent and can only depend, to a greater extent, on human actions.
