Converted from Phorums BB System

Having played a number of generic game systems over the years (the oft-overlooked, vehicle-unfriendly, otherwise well done "Masterbook" system, by West End Games, was a particular favorite), I think I would put some heavy miles on this game. I also think that I'd want to play it with a roulette wheel at least once, since the 2d6 method would tend to provide more of a bell-curve result (which would be an aid in betting, as the odds would be a bit more predictable, but would detract from the chancy feel of the game to some degree).

The real issue would be getting ahold of a roulette wheel, especially on a gamer's budget (poker chips are definitely no problem, what with the holiday craze for Texas Hold 'Em poker sets, cards, and casino-grade poker chips). I have absolutely no idea where you might get one of these things, and the local Wal-Mart sure doesn't seem to have them. Can anybody offer any suggestions?
