But the rats - that does seem like he would have ample opportunity to "rig" the game. The house odds still see very much in favour of the operator "Like the donkey derby" at fairs - my wife loves that game - house odds alone seem to be enough. Over here (I'm in the UK) health and safety and the RSPCA (Royal Society for the prevention/practice of cruelty to animals) would not allow a spinning rate to exceed a certain pre-determined "safety" factor on the grounds that the rat may be "slightly confused" by spinning too fast and, as such, it's not a terribly nice thing to do to a rat. My own view - I'd rig the game with explosives - making it tougher for the rat and more of a spectator sport. In my game - you'd need a LOT of rats..... Only joking - it's been one of those days.
