Without a suitable (and sturdy) roulette table, it languished down there ever since, getting uncovered for only the occasional online contest.Ībout two weeks ago, my wife casually said, 'Don't forget we're having a casino party for my work friends on December 4th, and I told everyone we're playing roulette.' Like all husbands, this is the first I had heard of this, so I began to panic.

In 2019, I was fortunate enough to buy a 32-inch European (single-zero) roulette wheel made for Paulson by TCS John Huxley, from our friend, It's gigantic and heavy, weighing in at about 180 pounds. Shown with 1,400 Key West roulette chips in seven colors. Finished size: Length: 8' / Width: 46' at the wheel, 33' along the playing area (numbers) allowing 6.5 inches of space on each side and at the bottom of the table for player chips. Center and right: Still a work in progress, with some planned adds when hardware arrives, but we're getting there.

It's a simple solution that can be easily removed later when I get ambitious to do a lighted, raised rail.

Since time was short, I added 10 feet of 'Perfect Padded Rail,' bought online. The layout was added to the table, (left) and here still needs some tugging, pulling and stapling.
