The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1880-03-02

Croupiers do not seem more interesting
than bank clerks to the world at large
but their ways and their society have a
kind of fascination for confirmed gam
bers. They know many stories of for
tunes freakishness-for example, of the
curious absence of the number II at
Hamburg, which ruined the half of
gambling Europe. For 10 days, at a
certain roulette table, II never came up,
never took its turn with its 35 brethren.
The strange news was telegraphed to
Baden Baden and Ems, and the public
crowded to Hamburg to back II, (which
must come up soon, you KNOW" as peo-
pie say. Few people could wait till II
did emerge, and the bank in consequence
did really good business. 1t is an
amusing trait in the natural history of
the croupier that the functionaries of
the card-tables are much greater men
than their comrades of the roulette
table.
The former are messieurs, the latter
simply hommes. In private life they are
often good friends enough, but their
wives do not visit each other. When he
is not spinning the little ball or dealing
out the cards, the croupier often has some
respectable trade, which he exercises at
home; he is tailor, a waiter, perhaps
fencing master. Rather good story is
told Of the impassiveness Of the croupier.
1t was at Baden-Baden, between Sadowa
and Sedan; the ruler of Germany was
walking in one of the alleys with the
Emperor of France. The crowd had de-
serted the tables TO stare at these great
Monarchs. Some one asked the senior
croupier, lie pere Martin, why he did not
take a holiday and see the crowned heads.
"King William we are always SEEING"
said the old man, che is no novelty here"
"And the Emperor NapoleonT "Ah,
the Emperor, he still owes the bank 25
louis"
