Unique Cigar Gambling Game.

[El Presidente]

I love seeing these games of chance where prizes were paid in cigars

If anyone wants to know how it works, you drop a coin in the slot, pull the lever, the bell rings and the wheels spin. When the wheels stop, you add the two numbers at the bottom of the wheels (on the inside rim) and the total indicates your prize.

Now that is something. Very cool??

I don't know what I was expecting when I opened this thread....but this isn't it!

 

BTW - Cool piece. My wife collects antiques and she loves stuff like this

This is a terrific piece of gambling, I've never seen anything like this before but this game looks pretty interesting. I think you can find a lot of use in it, like putting it on Ebay and selling it for a good price or giving it to a museum because it looks like a piece of history. I think you might also be interested in Rocket league prices along with it, which has recently captured my consciousness and has become an indispensable guide to the gaming industry for me. There's not a lot of gambling, but that doesn't make it any less interesting.

Not much of an "art guy", but hang that puppy up in the Louvre!
