The laser can measure the speed of the wheel and also the speed of the spinning ball. The ball's speed can be already determined after the second point. Special computer system, which is situated in the mobile phone, can calculate the probability and predict the number of the winning slot. It takes a few seconds to know, where to place the bets. And it becomes known, before the wheel makes three revolutions. Laser scam is one of the methods of cheating at roulette and it is not legal.
