James Bond is a famous gambler and we almost always know what game he's playing. But in the 1974 movie, The Man With The Golden Gun, bond is playing in a Macao casino. He is sitting at a large table -- sort of like a craps table -- and people make bets and then other people, sitting up above out of sight, lower a little basket on a string and the people playing either put money in the basket or take money out. The little basket then goes back up and they play again. Any idea what game they were playing? It looked very festive and had many players -- 10 sitting downstairs, another 8-10 sitting upstairs. Thank you very much.
