This game never made it into production. It is a gambling game, and the hope was for it to make it into casinos. It was create in 1989 by Expo Games Inc. The box is green and smooth, and it comes with quality untouched dice and chips. It is in mostly good condition, but there is a scuff on the top of the box.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I'm not finding any information on either CJW Enterprises in Houston or Expo Games in Lexington, and there's no readily available information on Wager 7. It's clear from the lack of information about both the company and the game that the expectations from the prototype were not matched and the game never went into large-scale production OR caught on in either casinos or as a game for home use.
Game prototypes can bring a wide range of prices when sold at auction but most auction houses will test the market with fairly low estimates to tempt potential bidders - most have estimates at between $300 and $500. If you're planning to sell this, I would suggest starting high ($1,000) to see if you get any interest - you can always lower your price if you don't get buyers and at that's probably more than what this would sell for at auction.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
