Roulette

Roulette, also known as the wheel of chance, was a type of game of chance that people would gamble over.

Description
This game involved a sort of wheel, which had depressions scrawled across it, and a handle in the wheel's center. These depressions alternated in coloration from black to red and had numbers written on them. Play involved spinning the wheel, then dropping a small ball upon it that would eventually come to rest in one of the depressions. Dice would also be rolled across the table on a checkered lane of red and black squares.

History
During the days of Netheril, in the small city of Imbrue this was one of many games of chance that one could play at the House of Tyche.

Centuries later, in the 14 century DR, one could find wheels of chance in a variety of establishments in the Sword Coast, north Faerûn, and west Faerûn.
