There are many holes in the surface with different number values from 1 to 9 (I believe that was the correct range) that the balls, when thrown, fall into. It's a wooden circular device that eight little white balls are thrown into. I'm sure they change the name of the game to protect the guilty so, I'll describe it for you. The game I got scammed playing is called progressive roulette. I've done some investigating and heard stories of other people who were scammed in exactly the same way. I was conned and scammed in the Playa Chiquita Casino in Sosua.
Do not gamble in any Dominican Republic Casino.
