that sees the highest gambling.
Around pay days when the
money is most plentiful among
the soldiers. the old "tats, or
dice, are employed because they
give faster and more general

Blackjack is more of a di-
version and less blood-heating.
1t is quieter than the dice,
which is not infrequently con-
