Заглавие `Рулетенбург` принадлежит самому Достоевскому. Так был первоначально назван `Игрок`. Только уступая настояниям книгоиздателя Стелловского, Достоевский заменил это выразительное и своеобразное название более обычным термином. Нам показалось правильным возродить это забытое заглавие Достоевского. Леонид Гроссман
