they have fitted their establishments to coax
the coins from her purse as well as from the

Yet gambling today cannot be compared to
the old days, the old-timers say. The sessions
Of faro and stud poker that lasted for hour
upon hour, with the players taking time OF
only for a few minutes of sleep, and the huge
sums that changed hands are seldom heard
of Like the sand 10-cent stores the gamblers
today know how the nickels and dimes can
mount up and any sum from a scent piece
up is wagered on the spin OF the wheel or the
turn Of the card
Gambling is carried on at many places and
in many forms Scarcely store that does not
have its slot machine Many soft-drink parlors
have a roulette wheel "twenty-one" game
in the rear, while the base ball pools and
horse-racing establishments are many Even
the Chinese lottery does a rushing business
although this form Of gambling is stfl frowned
upon by the law There are the big houses
running three shifts day and with every

Bootleggtng establishments abound in Reno.
yet all of the liquor is served behind closed
doors, and admission is difflcult for strangers
Some OF these places are fitted up in a manner
to rival the old-time saloons while others are
mere blind pigs" Some variety of gambling
goes on in nearly every "joint" Most of the
liquor is corn whisky, distilled locally from
corn sugar and yeast but those with the price
obtain nearly every variety OF intoxicant
desired.
