Fortune and Fraud at the Roper Game Hall
A New York Times dispatch describes a gambling trap labeled the roper in which men bet winnings on lucky chips, exchanging small stakes for large risks. Victims lose heavily as the circular gambling proceeds end at dawn, with the proprietor referred to as the bark and one man leaving poorer by about fifty dollars.
