ROVO Dice Machine

3D Model

The ROVO company was founded in Leipzig in 1931 by the German A. Röber, his son E. Röber and his brother-in-law A. Volkrodt.

The basic idea was that it annoyed them when single dices often rolled from the table, they had to search them and bring them back to rhe table. In the private basement was tinkered with a play equipment, which should meet various requirements. Different variants were built, from the 1 to the 5 ROVO (5 dices in a row).

Bakelite (world’s first synthetic plastic) was used for series production. Exports all over the world were booming, and the production could hardly meet the demand.

At the end of the 1950s, the abrupt end of game production came overnight. By political decree of the then head of state Walter Ulbricht, private gambling was banned in the GDR, and the production of corresponding technology was prevented.
