Abstract
Image processing unit (), and method (), for detecting event data during a game round of a roulette wheel () via a camera (), thereby enabling detection of a roulette wheel bias. The roulette wheel () comprises a ball track (A), upon which a roulette ball () is brought into rotation around the roulette wheel (), and a sloping lower ball track (B) comprising ball deflectors (), encircling a rotor (). The image processing unit () is configured for: receiving a captured image of the roulette ball () from the camera (); detecting that the roulette ball (), under influence of gravity, reaches an imaginary circle () encircling the ball deflectors () of the lower ball track (B); and determining a position where it is detected that the roulette ball () reaches the imaginary circle (); and storing the determined position in a database ().
