When Contestants' Row first went to monitors in 2009, all four monitors displayed white digits on a black background with a colored scrim on top -- I thought it was a really sharp-looking way to combine old and new.

I stopped by the casino the other day, and I think that this same method is being used on roulette tables now. Thinly-woven felt over top of a large TV screen allows the winning numbers to light up, as well as "PLACE YOUR BETS / NO MORE BETS".
