Honest gamblers and the tricks of the house in New York
William Travers Jerome argues gambling houses use cheating tools and schemes to trap players in New York. A veteran gambler notes most players are thieves by instinct and that private games favor the house. Klondike, cluckaluck, and tied throws illustrate the rigged nature. 800 houses once earned $14 million yearly with 15,000 patrons daily. Historic hubs include West Thirty- third Street, Twentieth and Seventh streets, and John Daly’s outlets, among others, with figures like Gottlieb Walbaum, Farrell, and Riley Grannan noted.
