Gambling in the United States

CHAPTER IX. page 22

The foregoing is a concise account of the game, as played in
America, where it is of universal interest, and exercises great
fascination. It is often played by parties of friends who
meet regularly for the purpose, and instances can be found where
fortunes have been lost in a night.

The game of Pokers differs from the one just described, in so far
that the players receive only the original five cards dealt
without drawing fresh ones, and must either play or refuse on
them. In this game, as there are more cards, as many as ten
persons can play.

LANSQUENET.[91]

Lansquenet is much played by the Americans, and is one of the
most exciting games in vogue.
