Claim: In 1873 a British mill engineer "broke the bank" at a Monte Carlo casino. Origins: The year was 1873 when Englishman Joseph Jaggers made his fantastic run on the Beaux-Arts Monte Carlo Casino.

An engineer and mechanic in the cotton industry in Yorkshire, his nuts-and-bolts background led him to ponder the mechanics of roulette wheels. Were they perfectly balanced? Were the numbers the shiny little ball landed on truly random, or were some numbers more likely to come up than others? Those questions in mind, Jaggers hired six clerks to record every number that came up on the roulette wheels in the a day the casino was open.

He found what he was looking for. The first day's foray against the casino netted him roughly $70,000. The casino fought back. He lost (some say heavily). In the end the casino prevailed. The song "The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo" was written the year he died. Barbara "beggar's bank whet" Mikkelson Last updated: 10 August 2007 Sources: Download doom.zip.
