Stefano Hourmouzis Roulette Computer Legalities

To those waiting to purchase the Stefano Hourmouzis Roulette Computer: My solicitors have recently completed their study of the legalities regarding both national and international roulette computer sales and distribution. This study was in relation to my distribution of the computer, not actual roulette computer use. Purchasers are still expected to do their own due dilligence regarding legalities of use.

Various points of potential legal risk, primarily with relation to the UK and two states in the USA, have been raised by my solicitors. These points will be addressed on my web sites in the coming weeks. More specifically, in the UK and at least two states of the USA, laws clearly state no-one can "aid" cheating in casinos. The implications are if a purchaser uses the roulette computer illegally, it may put me at undue legal risk because merely supplying the computer without appropriate purchase terms may be considered "aiding". Therefore before roulette computer distribution re-commences, a set of new roulette computer purchase agreements are being drafted. My solicitors recently begun work on these, so it should not be long before they are complete. My web site material will also be edited to clearly state the roulette computer is not for use in casinos, and this will be done simply when I have time. Irrespective of any jurisdictions where computer use is legal, my solicitors have advised me to market my roulette computer as an evaluation device only, and not for actual application in real casinos. Roulette computer distribution will not recommence until both the new agreements are completed by my solicitors, and my web site content is modified to reflect the agreements.

If a roulette computer user applies the computer illegally or even in a real casino, this would constitute a breach of the roulette computer purchase agreement although I would not be responsible for any use of my product(s) that are not permitted as per the purchase agreements. Similarly, a firearms store can sell you a gun, but it is not their responsibility if you use it to commit murder.
