Flash Playing Roulette.
The most famous roulette story has to be that of Chris Boyd, a 40 year-old computer programmer from England. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. It wasn’t very easy to find a casino that would let him make such a huge bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The Horseshoe Club had a limit of 0,000 on a red/black bet, but they agreed to accept his wager. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris placed all his money on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.
