Credit Card Roulette

Do you like to dine out? Do you also like to gamble? If so, why not combine the two in a game of credit card roulette!

In its basic form, each member of a dining group puts a credit card into an opaque bowl/box. Then one of those credit cards is chosen and that person has to pay for the entire dinner. Everyone else eats for free. Certainly an intriguing dinner game.

Now there are plenty of alternate versions of this game, and sometimes there are certain restrictions placed on what has to be paid. Sometimes credit cards are pulled out after each course and the last remaining card must pay. Sometimes the person only has to pay the food bill and not for alcohol. You can basically make whatever rules you wish.

The Phantom Gourmet has shown a few episodes where they have placed credit car roulette, mostly recently at the Paragon Restaurant in Foxwoods. That bill was $3000. It was an exciting show.

I have not played credit card roulette yet though I definitely would. Just need to find enough people willing to play. Any takers?
