3. PRUSSIA.
By the Prussian Code all games of chance, except when licensed by
the state, are prohibited. Gaming debts are not the subjects of
action; but moneys paid cannot be sued for by losers. Wagers
give a right of action when the stakes consist of cash in the
hands of a third person; they are void if the winner had a
knowledge of the event, and concealed it. Moneys lent for
gambling or betting purposes, or to pay gambling or betting
debts, cannot be sued for. Gaming house keepers and gamblers are
punishable with fine; professed gamblers with imprisonment.
Occasional cheating at play obliges to compensation; professed
swindlers at play are punishable as for theft, and banished
afterwards. Moneys won from a drunken man, if to a considerable
amount, must be returned, and a fine paid of equal value.
