Gambling
The game is very popular in pubs and bars in the UK, and sometimes gambling is involved. All these rules depend on the rules of the house:
- The number of points is reduced to 7.
- A Entry fee is used into a prize kitty and all players pay regardless of if they play or not commonly £1.
- If more than 4 players are involved, every player gets dealt a card, and if they receive a jack they enter the game, then stop receiving cards. This goes on until all players are dealt jacks.
- At the end of the game, every player except the winner must pay the winner for each point not earned (usually 20p).
- If a player crashes then the money for each point not earned is doubled, i.e. player B won on a crash, then Player C owes £2.80; however, this win can only be earned if a player needs more than 4 points to win.
- If a player receives 4 of a kind in a hand, then as long as he has the best hand in a go, in the event of 2 or more players receiving a 4 of a kind, then they receive half the entry bet off each player in the game, usually 50p.

Famous quotes containing the word gambling:
“As Jerome expanded, its chances for the title, “the toughest little town in the West,” increased and when it was incorporated in 1899 the citizens were able to support the claim by pointing to the number of thick stone shutters on the fronts of all saloons, gambling halls, and other places of business for protection against gunfire.”
—Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Someone once asked me why women don’t gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don’t have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women’s total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians.”
—Georges Pompidou (1911–1974)
