Multicolor is a game played a lot in Paris. As they are not allowed to have a 'full' casino in the center of Paris (Napoleon law says, you must take at least 1 hour by horse and carriage to get to a casino from the center of Paris, now these days to get to Enghien le Bains by metro takes you 20 minute ), anyway, this game is quite nice to see. The Banker, on top at the table, hits the ivory billiard ball with a real billiard cue and the ball bounches off the back cushion and goes into the cilinder where it starts spinning untill it drops in a 'colored slot', kind of 'Boule' but then with a ivory ball and colors instead of numbers and the nice touch of a cue and cushion is it difficult to repeat the same 'shot'. I try to find a real picture of the cilinder and post it too.
Have a look below,
kind regards,
