Are there any of these in San Jose or are they all two zero tables?

Live gaming is very limited in CR.

I did not see any actual roulette WHEELS in San Jose.

They apparently play an almost similar game using old style Bingo revolving cages hand cranked by a dealer. Individual balls have individual numbers and are colored red or black according to their corresponding numbers on the felt layout.

I did not play the game perhaps partly because the four percent house advantage on single-zero roultette was, as in most games in the US, doubled due to two green possible outcomes, 0 and 00.

Unlike the US and european wheels, the bingo ball type setup does make house cheating easier. Any balls missing? Any balls shaved smaller than the others? These possibilities exist, and given the history of house cheating many years ago in LV, I suppose it is still going on in CR.

Go see these strange live games there yourself.

BTW, the Horseshoe in SJ is offering live poker.

Yeah, I just came out from the casino in Amon and you are right. It does look kinda bizarre. That´s a shame. I was really looking forward to some roulette wheels spinning in my favor. Ah well. There´s plenty else to do here!
