| Tor nothing Until a turn l5 made, le OaWn, tht
king shows, and then the ten-spot. Tho frs
card being loser, the dealer reaches out ant
takes in all the checks thereon, while tho sec
ond card, tho ton-spot. being tho winner. th
dealer must pay check Tor check all that il fonnt
on the ten-spot mr. Jones loses, and Afr. Rob
inson wins. Tie only variation to this rulo il
TINT the player may DESIGNATE a card to lose
that is, ho may "copper" it, by covering hi
checks with q bit of black ebony, which indicate
that the card is bot to fall On the losing side
and it it 30 falls tho dealer pays. In other words
he beta the bank will win.
Once upon time 8 young mhn came acros!
TINT touching poem about the Fine old Arkan
sas gentleman, close to the Choctaw ine," ant
was greatly perpiexed by the closing stanza
! where it ia related
But when he heard the checks. he flung the linen OF
And sung out Just exactly Us he used to do when hi
was alive, "Hold on, Prtrdle; don't turn: III &C
twenty on tho king and "copper" on the ace-"
Doiug seeker after truth, he hunted FOR a
| long time to find how was to be coppered
F.! 1lo finally got the information, which cost him
| precisely 5l5.
! THE epL17s.
| It is TOR the plnyer to guess Row the card will
come. II he guesses right, Ee wins; il wrong,
| he loses. Tie dealer simply takes the negative
III every case, and in q ''squaro" game his only
| advantage or percentage is tue t'apIits that
| is, when two cards of tho samo denomination
shos together in one turn, the dealer is entitled
to half the checks bet On TINT card. So long as
there remain in tho box, unlrawn, tYo, threo. or
| four cards Of the samo denomination. the dealer
| has small percentage from tie chance TINT two
of these will come together, and skill :ul maniE-
| ulator can increase tie percentage by shufl1ing
| so that ''splits will be numerous. But the
| great bulk Of tho betting is removed from tho
I danger Of "splits," careful player will wait
until tho cards become single in the box before
ho puts down his largo bets. The percentage
from this source is difficult TO estimato. but it
probably amounts to at least 5por cent of the win
nings OF the bank. In order to encourage bet
ing 1pon double cards, the bank always permits
tue player to put tWlco as much money upon 4
do double as upon single Or "caao" card;
to doubles aud sou to "cascs. We have
shown how and Thy it was that Mr.
Jones lost and 3lr- Robinson won, and no" the
process OF putting tho pit Of black ebony would
hare reversed that result a. between tho two play
ers. 50 tue game goes on, tho dealer making tho
turns from tne box until al eoe cards are ex,
Aanstad, when they are sAufaiea anu new deal
begins.
ExD-cAnDs:
play occurs when but four cards remain in the
hox. one exposed, and the other three concealed.
Auy one of these mn7 be bet in the usual way,
ns the taily-sheet shows what cards rcman,
though their positions arc matters of guess
to come out--or. rather si1 combinations possi-
bic, for they must come out as they were put H.
II there are in the box an ace, deuce, and tray,
aud p1uyer bets that tho turn will como AGO.
trav-dance. and h:ppeu8 to hit it right. ho ia
paid four for one for tho money lie has bot-an
arrangement not SO liberal on tho part of the
bank az it Of first glanco appears, since the
chances arc six to one against the player call
ing it correctly, while ho gets paid but four to
one in case he hits it, and loses what he beta If
he fails.
