La Petite Vegas


Here in Ft Dauphin, near a beach called Ankuba (not sure if that's spelled correctly) they have an..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........"event" on Saturday afternoons. In the small parking lot near a restaurant called Marceline at Ankuba beach they have coq fights and gambling. There are usually a few roulette wheels and some board game that looks like tic-tac toe with a number 1-9 in each square. Not sure how that's played. The "roulette" wheels is made from an old bike wheel and spins very slowly.

I've been told that there's a "casino" somewhere in town. Living here is basically like living in Vegas........well except for the opposite.

  2. Avoid the gambling! they will reap you off. For some reasons, they are really good at tricking you. This is from a firsthand experience. lol
    BTW Ankoba means the place where there is a lot of flour or I guess where wheat (blé en francais) grows.
