High Stakes

Description

This is yet another Monopoly variant.

Instead of Atlantic City properties, players purchase Las Vegas casinos (circa 1974), and rather than paying rent when you land on a property, players must gamble an amount specified by the property owner. Games include Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette. The game was endorsed by Jerry Lewis (box features his photo and signature).

Another version of the game, not endorsed by Jerry Lewis, comes in more conventionally sized box.

Although the game uses Las Vegas as a setting, the game uses the French Roulette wheel instead of the American wheel. The American wheel has an added space: the double zero. Someone noticed this when designing the box and placed a die strategically to cover up the zero in a photograph of the game!
