Evolution launched Fan Tan

Evolution have launched a new game and I'm delighted to report that it's not a game show!

FanTan is a traditional Chinese table game. Something you don't see often on the floor if a Western casino.

No cards. Just beads.

I'll get a full write up in the blog soon, but the quick and dirty goes something like this...

A random number of beads are carved out of a pile of beads...

Attachment 6990

The number of selected beads will determine the game outcome

Attachment 6991

Four bead sets are then divided out from the selected pile...

Attachment 6992

Until only 1, 2, 3, or 4 beads remain. This is the outcome you are betting on...

Attachment 6993

Of course before all this happens, you get to bet on whether it will be a 1, 2, 3, or 4 bead outcome...

Attachment 6994

Makes me feel like a Mentos :D
