Las vegas board game

Abstract

A board simulates Las Vegas streets and gambling casinos and other features. Players move pieces around spaces in a grid around the board to arrive at a variety of gambling activities which are played using actual gambling equipment, such as a roulette wheel, cards and dice, and betting table layouts with play money and chips to make bets. Another player is enlisted to act as a dealer or roulette wheel operator in each gambling activity as a player moves, via the playing piece, through the casinos and gambling tables. The game includes variable levels of betting with gambling skills as well as chance as factors in the play and interaction between players including lending money to other players, using a pawn shop, getting a “second chance” token loan, going to jail, and getting married.
