LA ROULETTE.
The form of the table used for this game is an oblong square, covered with green cloth, in the centre of which there is a round cavity, around the sides of which, equidistant one from the other, are ranged several bands of copper, which commencing at the top, descend just to the extremity of the machine. In the centre of this cavity, which is moveable, is formed a circular bottom, containing 38 holes, to which the copper bands are attached, and upon which are painted, alternately in black and red, 36 numbers, from 1 a 36 a zero (0) and a double zero (00). |
