• Minoru: Double event game?

    From roland_scheicher@yahoo.de@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 22 03:32:53 2016
    I once came across a simple gambling game called Minoru, the rules of which I found in some books and, of course in the internet, I succeeded in finding photographs of the gaming cloth, too, but I could not find a photograph, where the the gaming cloth
    is depicted in such a high resolution that it is possible to read the writing accurately - sometimes I had to guess, so:

    If anyone has access to this game I'd like to ask to check the following, whether I read correctly

    Double event game:

    Grand Parade win pays 5 to 1, place 2 to 1;
    Viceroy win pays 20 to 1, place 5 to 1;
    Tom Pepper win pays 10 to 1, place 3 to 1,
    Minoru win pays 2 to 1, place 1 to 2;
    Jutland win pays 4 to 1, place Evens
    Panther win pays 6 to 1 place 2 to 1
    Royal Bucks win pays 8 to 1, place 2 to 1
    Ho-Ho win pays 5 to 1, place 2 to 1

    Since the tableau for the single event game is printed on the other side of the gaming cloth, could you please also check the following?

    Single event game (only win):

    Minoru pays 2 to 1;
    Game Chick pays 5 to 1;
    Gougou pays 10 to 1
    Miss McGiggle pays 7 to 1
    St. Amant pays 2 to 1

    With the very best wishes from Vienna
    Yours,

    Roland

    When this game was offered at ebay I asked the possessor to check this list of odds. He was so kind and did so : the list given in the previous mail is correct.
