Roulette is an exciting game

About this painting

Dogs playing casino games is a proven crowd favorite. This elaboration on the theme was presented on a Dunes promotional postcard. The Dunes was a hotel/casino that stood on the southwest corner of the Las Vegas Strip and Flamingo Road, at the site of the present-day Bellagio. This is actually a very realistic portrayal of a roulette game, excepting the dressed dogs around the table.

The dog dealing looks so smug I just want to slap him. Honest. The Doberman in the orange suit is quite the ladies man, I think. I've never seen such a large dog look so...suave. The dog with long floppy ears and the floral print shirt looks like a natural born victim. The sheriff dog and the boxer are putting down a lot of action. If I could be any of these dogs, I'd want to be the Doberman. -dgs
