ROULETTE WHEEL

The car, the road and driving for many symbolize freedom,

... and with these rims on your car it will be a gamble which way they will take you, I suppose.

LUGGAGE ROULETTE

Traveling is to many a journey into uncertainty.

One of the most anxious moments is waiting for your luggage to turn up on the airport's luggage belt ... remebering the mixed feelings we had checking-in our luggage at the check-in counter at the start of our journey, a gamble in itself.

The Venetian Casino thought to use these emotions as a way to promote themselves.

While waiting for your luggage you can make a bet with your fellow travellers which number your suitcase will land on.

On 'zero' the house wins of course!

RUSSIAN TRAMPOLINE

Canadian artist Patrick Bérubé made his installation 'Demi-Mesure' by putting a trampoline in a half-height room.

The installation was among others shown in the exhibition 'Ceci n'est pas un Casino'. In this context the trampoline wonderfully resembles the roulette wheel ... and the chance of winning at the roulette table is probably as big as not bumping your head in Bérubé's installation (not to mention the frustration of lack of freedom inherent to the use of the trampoline!).
