Inveterate gamblers lure readers to Chinese fan tan den
A Philadelphia Times reporter visits a dim Chinese laundry turned gambling room, where a group of Chinamen play fan tan. The scene features Ah Kee and Hong Lee, a central banker, as players arrange cash bets from a central pile. The article notes fan tan’s simplicity yet varied betting options, with references to Macao, Canton, Shanghai, and Kao-chu-fu and the dexterity of Chinese shroffs handling Mexican dollars.
