Sotheby's, (thanks for this text): Dauphin lotto was marketed from 1775 by table maker Vaugeois to overcome the monotony of classic lottos. Tradition attributes the conception of this game to Louis XVI, developed to amuse his son the Dauphin. Now forgotten, it was until 1914 one of the favorite games of the French aristocracy.
