Where can i buy/rent a big money wheel (like an upright roulette wheel with black and white areas) like in casinos? NY area a plus.

5 or 6-foot diameter a plus, too.

thanks Saydur...how did you google for it? (i'm going to hold out for a larger one, but the dry-erase thing is excellent.)

Like this one? Any place that does bar/bat mitzvahs or casino parties [like for fundraisers] in the NYC area is likely to have these available to rent. That link goes to a company with New York/Boston offices. Google terms like "wheel of chance" "casino parties" rentals NY will probably get you started.

Here's a few others I found.

Much closer to casino quality, up to 5 foot at $3,660

Custom wheels, 24 to 48 inches

And one more resource for your browsing pleasure.

Google searches as follows

big money wheel
buy money wheel
gambling supplies money wheel

Most of these guys will make 5 foot wheels, but they're truck-shipped, and you gotta call to get quotes. Glad I could make use of my Google-fu for you.

I rode a ski lift the other day wit ha guy who puts together "casino nights" for anyone who needs a fund raiser etc. An outfit like this is certain to have one to rent.
