The Laws of Put
- If the dealer accidentally discover any of his adversary's cards, the latter may insist upon a new deal.
- If the dealer discover any of his own cards in dealing, he must abide by the deal.
- When a faced card is discovered during the deal, the cards must be reshuffled and dealt again.
- If the dealer give his adversary more cards than are necessary, the adversary may call a fresh deal, or suffer the dealer to draw the extra cards from his hand.
- If the dealer give himself more cards than are his due, the adversary may add a point to his game, and call a fresh deal, or draw the extra cards from the dealer's hand.
- No bystander must interfere, under penalty of paying the stakes.
- Either party saying "I put", that is, "I play", play cannot retract, but must abide the event of the game or pay the stakes.
