Poker,
or
Draw
Poker,
a
gambling
game
common
in
the
United
States.
An
elaboration
of
the
old
English
game
of
Brag,
which,
like
Blind
Hookey
and
Baccarat,
is
purely
one
of
chance,
generally
played
by
two
or
three
sharpers
opposed
to
three
or
four
greenhorns.
And,
for
these
reasons,
is
unworthy
a
place
in
this
volume.

Lansquenet.
This
is
a
game
for
a
large
company,
much
played
in
France,
where
it
is
the
custom
to
mix
three,
four,
or
more
packs
of
cards
together.
In
England
it
is
played
with
one
pack,
after
the
following
plan:--The
dealer,
who
has
rather
an
advantage,
begins
by
shuffling
the
cards,
and
having
them
cut
by
any
of
the
party.
He
then
deals
two
cards
on
his
left
hand,
turning
them
up;
then
one
for
himself,
and
a
fourth,
which
he
places
in
the
middle
of
the
table
for
the
company,
called
the
rejouissance.
Upon
this
card
any
or
all
of
the
company,
except
the
dealer,
may
stake
their
counter
or
money,
either
a
limited
or
unlimited
sum,
as
may
be
agreed
on,
which
the
dealer
is
obliged
to
answer,
by
staking
a
sum
equal
to
the
whole
put
upon
it
by
different
players.
He
continues
dealing,
and
turning
the
cards
upwards,
one
by
one,
till
two
of
a
sort
appear:
for
instance,
two
aces,
two
deuces,
&c.,
which,
in
order
to
separate,
and
that
no
person
may
mistake
for
single
cards,
he
places
on
each
side
of
his
own
card;
and
as
often
as
two,
three,
or
the
fourth
card
of
a
sort
comes
up,
he
always
places
them,
as
before,
on
each
side
of
his
own.
