    Default chances of hiting green

    hello, what are the chances that you can spin the table 200times and never hit a green/zero. has anyone ever seen over 200 spins without green/zero coming out?
    Cheers

    It's (36/37)^200. You can get the ^ function on the standard Windows calculator: it's the button with x^y on it. Your answer is 0.00417, so about 0.4% and so it's not that uncommon.

    Any number can sleep more than 500 spins.
