Can anybody tell me what the compass on the roulette table is for? It's close to the dealer on his right, usually at the edge of the table by the chips. What the heck does a roulette table need a compass for?

Totally a guess, but aren't the little round balls magnetic? Couldn't a
large magnet be used to 'steer' them in some fashion? A compass
would be pretty useful in detecting a magnetic field.

The magnetism theory might be it.....sounds like the most probable.
Another would be feng shui (ridiculous huh?)

Exactly, beat me to it. That's one pretty roulette table in the OP. Can't wait to see it with a wheel. Quote:

Sorry, not my table. My brother had this picture sent to him, and he e-mailed it to me with the question about the compass. So, I thought I'd post it on here.
