ner wheel correspond with similarly
numbered squares and divisions painted
on the table where the bets are placed.
If. as the inner wheel turns and the
ball spins around the inside rim OF the
outside, stationary wheel. you can place
your money on a painted number oil
color that shall correspond with the
numbered slot or division into which
the tiny sphere eventually falls, you
win. If YOU can not you lose. 1t is
the business of the device here shown
TO see that you are kept as FAR es pos
Bible away from the corresponding slot.
How les this done' Note the uealer,
particularly the position of his right
leg. Observe also the slightly project
ing table drawer against which his leg
is pressed. Now look across the wheel
10 the point where the ball is in the act
OF falling into one OF the slots of the
revolving inner wheel. Just above the
ball, for purposes of illustrations has
been pasted a small bit Of white paper
against the inside rim of the stationary
wheel For distance OF four inches TO
the left from this bit Of paper that part
of the rim against which IL Is pasted Is
movable. When pressed from behind
II moves out a sixteenth of an inch to-
ward the dealer. thus lntcrruptlng the
course of the ball as 1t spins In q groove
around the inside circle and throwina
1t down Into the slotted inner wheel
How IL Is Done.
From the drawer against which the
dealer stands and running back under
the table and up to the Stationary outer
rim of the wheel is a communicating
rod. so that when he presses his leg
against the drawer he presses the
further end OF the rod against the NOV
able part of the rim, throwing 1t out to
stop the progress OF the ball when it
reaches that point in its sphere. An
expert can throw the ball into any slot
he wishes and. this being the case. the
players chance of winning may be rep
resented by big O.
