-According to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928, p 213), its first production  in Cape Town on 5 June  by [[H. Booth]] and [[All the World's a Stage]] led to a great deal of critique for the presentation and the text, which the critic of the ''[[South African Commercial Advertiser]]'' said was "a clumsy adaptation from the German". In response "A British Amateur", writing in the ''[[De Zuid-Afrikaan]]'',  stated (correctly) that it was in fact an "almost literal translation" of the French play ''[[Trente Ans, ou La Vie d'un Joueur|La Vie d'un Joueur]]''.  However, despite the criticism, it seems to have been to everyone's taste.

 Translated into English as ''[[The Gambler's Fate, or A Lapse of Twenty Years]]'' by Charles Thompson, and adapted as a drama in two act "Founded on the Popular French Play of ''[[La Vie d'un Joueur]]''". First performed in London at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on 15 October, 1827 and published in 1828 by J. Cumberland in Cumberland's British Theatre, volume 17 (Cumberland's British Theatre: With Remarks, Biographical & Critical. Printed from the Acting Copies, as Performed at the Theatres Royal, London, edited by George Daniel and Thomas Dolby: with a woodcut by Bonner, based on a drawing by Cruikshank).
-There is another version called ''[[The Gambler's Fate, or Thirty Years of a Gamester's Life]]'', purportedly by Henry M. Milner, performed in New York in the Park Theatre (1828) and the Bowery Theatre (1851), and published in New York by Samuel French, in French's Standard Drama. Acting edition. no. 192 (186?). However, the Princeton University Library[https://pulsearch.princeton.edu/catalog/6217880] has the following amendment: "Not, in fact, by Milner, but Charles Thompson. The text is identical to that published in Cumberland's British theatre, v. 17, as ''The gambler's fate, or, A lapse of twenty years,'' written by Thompson and based on the French play ''La vie d'un jouer.'' Thompson's work may have been confused with a play by Milner on the same subject and produced in the same year entitled ''The hut of the red mountain, or, Thirty years of a gamester's life,'' based on the same French work by Ducange, in collaboration with Beudin and Goubaux."

 Also known simply as '''''[[The Gambler's Fate]]''''', the  translations were hugely popular during the mid 18th century in London.
