Swift High Stakes Bridge in Hot Springs Gambling Scene
A traveling agent reports Hot Springs Arkansas hosts expert players using the Western system with no trump rules, fast play, and risky bets at hotels and gambling resorts. Discards signal led hearts or diamonds, doubles rise, and a night’s play can yield large sums at five cents a point. The piece notes skill, luck, and the vigorous gambling atmosphere, with emphasis on the swift, high-stakes nature of the sessions. It also briefly covers golf at Pinehurst, Valentine Day, record entries, and a large crowd watching Travis and Becker.
