Gambling without cash lacks a certain je ne sais quoi (French inspired by the game's command Faites vos jeux). Micromega's Roulette is fun - in small doses.

Playing involves selecting your bets, inputting your stakes and pressing SPACE to gamble your chips. Your money is adjusted accordingly. The house-limit of 500 will be annoying for the reckless but it is an accurate one-player simulation with all bets possible.

A ball rolling round a spinning, coloured wheel provides scope for stylish graphics; this opportunity was not seized by Micromega. When you spin the wheel a flashing, changing number and a line drawing of a roulette wheel appear. Not very adventurous! Sound is used effectively throughout, though.

The inveterate gambler could probably find better ways of spending £4.95. Howver, this game may provide a change for people tired of blasting helpless aliens.
