French term or phrase: vingt-trois

Could this be as obvious as it looks (twenty-three)?

"Vingt-trois" is, apparently, the name of a game played in casinos. I can't seem to find any hits to confirm the English equivalent of "twenty-three", which leads me to wonder whether the English term may be something completely different.

Part of my translation: "Aux tables de jeux, le chef de partie ou le chef de table doit annoncer, en temps utile, à la boule, au vingt-trois, à la roulette, à la roulette américaine, à la roulette anglaise, les trois derniers coups, au black-jack, au punto-banco, au stud poker, au hold’em poker et au texas hold’em poker, la dernière donne et au craps les trois dernières séries."

English translation:vingt-trois

Explanation:
This reference (and it's not much to go on, I'm afraid) seems to suggest that boule and vingt-trois are not translated in English.

And sorry about the 'notes to asker' incident: there seems to be a bug in the system!

It's actually quite likely, since in Spanish they use the French terms too!: http://www.todoparaganar.com/DatoMuestra.php?Id=100

Explanation:
If it helps, it looks like it should be 'au jeu de la boule et au vingt-trois' / à la boule et au vingt-trois (or it defines the search at least)

I whole set of rules for it!

Looking at Natasha's 'quidfr' link it's obviously a form of roulette,
so how about either as Natasha suggests, simply use 'vingt-trois' or 'twenty-three'. If you want more clarity 'vingt-trois roulette' or 'twenty-three roulette'......
