I don't know much about 5Dimes casino, but I can tell you your math is WAY off. If you're playing European Roulette (if your playing American, your a sucker and deserve to go broke), there are 37 possible results of a roulette spin. This means the odds of a number getting hit 3 times in a row is 1368-1. That's a far cry from "millions". In fact, you have a 50% chance of seeing a number get hit 3 times in a row at least once every 950 spins. If you're at an online casino, and playing 10 spins every minute, you should see a number get hit three times in a row every 2 hours, and if you're playing a long session, it is highly probable that this will occur at least 5 times. With a little variance, it is not that remarkable to see a number get hit 3 times in a row 2 or 3 times in an hour.
The odds of a number getting hit 3 times in a row on a 37# roulette wheel is 1368-1. The odds of rolling snake eyes on 2 consecutive dice rolls is 1295-1. Are you that shocked when you roll back to back snake eyes in a crap game once in a while?
No disrespect intended, but if your math is this bad, maybe you should find a new hobby, because you're going to get killed in any type of gambling contest unless you get freak luck and hit a big jackpot.
