ROULETTE IN PRIVATE HOMES.
Result of Police War on Gambling in
New York
rrom the New YORK Herald of today.

From the New York Herald Of today.
Roulette parties in private homes have be-
come very popular since the closing recent
ly of several high class gambling houses.
Bridge whist and poker have been crowded
out, and society has taken up roulette in a
manner that promises to make 1t the rage
of the winter. Parlor roulette wheels have
been purchased, and at some Of the ses-
sions already held large amounts of money
have changed hands. Women like the
game, apparently, even better than they do
cards, and to men 1t offers an opportunity
of quick action" that commends it.
For few days the men who banked" the
game did not have the luck they seemed to
think should be theirs, and finally it was
concluded that It was because they over
paid bets that won and overlooked wagers
that were forfeited to them. So 1t was ar
ranged that professional croupiers should
be called in to manage the bank. That was
DONE with the result that now bank sell
dom quits without profit. Another result
is that a few professional croupiers are
steadily employed. and are earning more
money than when the gambling houses were
OPEN Not only are they well paid, but the
men and women who win are generous in
giving tips.
AS an Illustration of the amount Of money
that is sometimes won and lost in these
parlor games, reference is made to a rou-
lette party a few nights before Christmas.
During the early play the bank lost
81 600. Then a professional croupier took
the wheel and he won back the thousand
and another.
