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 had saved $220,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his bet. Most casinos refused him. The last casino he visited was Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum bet available was $100,000, but the casino let him make a $200,000 bet. 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 chose to place his bet on red. To make sure that everything is fair Chris was allowed to have several practice spins before playing for real money. Red 7 was the number of the pocket , in which the ball landed. Chris was the winner, he won $220,000 and he promised never to play at casino again. |
