Show Bank of Monte Carlo Breaking the bank at Monte Carlo is not quite snch a prodigious prodi-gious feat as it sounds. Each table for roulette starts play with its own individual bank, or reserve of money. The table's bank, therefore, there-fore, is held to be broken when a player has won the whole of this reserve sum, together, of course, with the accumulation of previous wins by the table from other players, play-ers, and the game has to be sus- i pended whilst fresh cash is being brought up from the vaults. The last time the bank was broken at a table in Monte Carlo's casino shortly before this war the lucky player gained about $24,000. |
