"Finally, Roger was asked to demonstrate his playing skills on one of the two games set up. There was an El Dorado which was to be the game played and a Bank Shot as a back up in case of problems with the El Dorado. But the Chairman told Roger not to play the El Dorado but the Bank Shot instead - suggesting the first game may be rigged in some way. Roger said he had no knowledge of which games would be provided and they just happened to be the two newest models from the local distributor."
