The Guests Of Hercules Two Englishmen in evening dress sat side by side, never speaking, scarcely moving, their eyes riveted on the falling cards flipped from the croupier's hands. A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others The smile was gone from the steel-grey eyes and the croupier experienced a sudden chilling in the pit of his stomach.

A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others But the Texan caught the snake-like flash of the eyes with which the man signalled to the croupier across the room. The Texan A Story of the Cattle Country The room, indeed, was singularly quiet for one that harboured some two-score players in addition to a full corps of dealers, croupiers, watchers, and waiters. The Day of Days An Extravaganza The voice of the croupier was soon heard announcing that the monte would recommence, and yielding to the pressing invitation of those around me, I resumed my position at the table.

The Guests Of Hercules All my disgust for the croupier returned in an instant. A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others As the croupier spun the wheel, three shots rang in an almost continuous explosion and the gamblers fell over each other in an effort to dodge the flying splinters that filled the powder-fogged air. The Texan A Story of the Cattle Country "Five on the red," repeated the croupier; and set aside a chocolate-coloured chip in memorandum of the wager.

Septimus Madame d'Ambre asked a croupier near where she stood to stake the money. The Guests Of Hercules The croupier, who was in evening dress, might have been of any age from thirty to fifty. A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others At last a sudden shriek … and the croupier's voice, trembling for the first time for thirty years, "Dix-sept!" The Sunny Side "Yes," said the croupier of the saloon gambling table. The Firm of Girdlestone The croupiers don't return the stake, as a general rule, unless you ask for it.

Septimus At nineteen he had won and lost the small fortune of thirty-three hundred dollars at a third-class gambling resort where he came in time to be croupier. The Vertical City The croupier looked at me fixedly, shrugged his shoulders, laughed between his teeth, a little, hissing laugh that sounded like escaping steam, and said slowly:— "No; of a man."

Note-Book of Anton Chekhov The next stake he also won, but as he raked all the pieces which the croupier pushed toward him his mind had become intent on another sphere and on other persons. Mr. Scarborough's Family We disliked the nightly crush in the baccarat-room of the casino, and the croupiers' obvious excitement at the high play. James Pethel When the bank won, the croupier permitted a slight shade of disappointment to flash over his face, fading into an expression of apology for taking the stakes. A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others This told on the nerves of the croupier. Under the Andes In the same year, the croupier at the Countess of Buckinghamshire's one night announced the unaccountable disappearance of the cash-box of the Faro bank. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) But as long as the croupier remained at the table he remained, and continued to play through the day with almost invariable luck. Mr. Scarborough's Family There was some brisk bidding while the croupier tore open and shuffled two new packs. James Pethel Here the croupier rose from the bench, looked critically over his case of cigarettes, selected one carefully, and began buttoning his coat as if to go. A Gentleman Vagabond and Some Others For a moment I was at a complete loss; then the croupier's voice sounded suddenly in my ear: "You are interrupting us, sir." Under the Andes Crowds of men and women would congregate behind his chair, to look at 'the mad Englishman,' as he was called; and his eccentricities used to amuse even the croupiers. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) To them heat and cold, the dog-star or twenty degrees below zero, make no difference while the croupier is there, with his rouleaux before him, capable of turning up the card. Mr. Scarborough's Family But now, as I stood opposite to him, behind the croupier, I was refreshed by my sense of his wholesome durability. James Pethel He is not a swindler, too, is he, or a retired croupier? The King's Jackal Above the low buzz of conversation there sounded the continual droning voices of the croupiers as they called the winning numbers, and an occasional exclamation from a "customer." Under the Andes They completed the transfer of my lieutenancy in two days, and then, in their superabundant humanity, offered me the place of croupier in an inferior house which they kept near Hanover Square.

Black Jack A member of Parliament occupies the chair, one of the croupiers is a baronet, the other the chief of the clan Mackintosh. Camps, Quarters, and Casual Places If there were anything in this hypothesis, the growing-pains of that late-blooming conscience were soon enough numbed by the hypnotic spell of clattering chips, an ivory ball singing in an ebony race, and croaking croupiers. The Lone Wolf A Melodrama Should I not hear the rattle of the billiard-balls, or the voice of the croupier calling the main, as I sat by my quiet fireside? Birds of Prey The one who causes the other croupier to turn round seems somewhat extravagantly dressed; but these costumes have been frequently worn within the last two years both at Baden and Hombourg. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) There was no human face in the world for him except the colorless face of the croupier, and the long, pale eyelashes that lifted now and then over greenish-orange eyes. Black Jack All he needs is the rake of a croupier to complete his disinterested and wholly nerveless poise. The Enormous Room No more actors, no more stage hands, no more croupiers, no more punters, no more theatre-goers. The Mountebank The croupier places his hand in the bag and draws forth a numbered square and immediately calls out the number. Over the Top But he was resolute, and soon reached the Casino, where his travelling dress caused a stir of satisfaction among the croupiers. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) He only knew that other bets were being placed and that it was a nuisance, for the croupier took much longer in paying debts and collecting winnings, so that the wheel spun less often.

The Adventures of Sally The whole thing was a systematically-planned robbery, and very possibly the croupier was a confederate. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) I always say he's connected with the swell mob, or croupier at a gambling-table, or something of that kind. Two Years Ago, Volume I The ball spun round, and the croupier's monotone sounded warningly above the whispering of notes and the clink of coin. The Vision of Desire "D—— the luck," says Lord Kew, as the croupier sweeps off his lordship's rouleaux. The Newcomes Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family The croupier gave his moustache a twist with his left hand and the wheel a twist with his right, and silence fell again. The Adventures of Sally The affair was very neatly managed, and would succeed in nearly every case, especially if the croupier is, as is most probable, always on the side of the ladies.' The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) I think it must be the croupiers, dear. The Prince and Betty Evidently Tony's bones had the right prophetic instinct, for after every coup the croupier pushed across to him a small pile of notes and silver. The Vision of Desire The crowds and the music, the gambling-tables and the cadaverous croupiers and chinking gold, were far out of sight and hearing. The Newcomes Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family The croupier wouldn't give them up, you know, so I had to grab them and run. The Man Upstairs and Other Stories Their stock-in-trade consisted in a Roulette wheel, a few thousand francs, and an old and skilful croupier of Frascati, who knew a great deal about the properties of cards. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) I'm sure I never heard of croupiers in fancy costume before. The Prince and Betty The croupier's droning voice recalled her sharply from her thoughts. The Vision of Desire He could no more resist the call of intrigue than a gambler can resist the croupier's, "Make your game, gentlemen!" Man on the Box The croupier was a man with a pointed moustache and an air of having seen all the sorrow and wickedness that there had ever been in the world. The Man Upstairs and Other Stories The banker sits before the wheel,—a croupier, or payer-out of winnings to and raker in of losses from the players, on either side.

The Prince and Betty In the middle, Mr. Jones, a starved spectre turned into a banker, faced Ricardo, a rather nasty, slow-moving cat turned into a croupier. Victory An Island Tale The people thus favored were called croupiers; king Louis XV. himself was one of them. The Eve of the French Revolution If this had been entirely his own affair it is probable that the croupier's frigid calm would have quelled him and he would have retired, fermenting but baffled. The Man Upstairs and Other Stories He loses, and his money is coolly swept away from him by the croupier's rake. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) The treasures are swiftly swept from the gaming tables by the nimble-witted croupiers. The Little Lady of Lagunitas A Franco-Californian Romance "Red, odd, and below," the croupier droned mechanically.

The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer — Volume 4 The croupiers seem to be always on the look-out for cheating. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) The very antipodes to the 'bonhomie' of this figure, confronted him as croupier at the foot of the table. The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer — Volume 1 There was an absence of the clink of gold pieces that one hears as the croupier rakes them in at the casinos on the continent. Guy Garrick In this way it gradually disappeared behind the croupier's rake. My Life — Volume 2 So saying, he proceeded to insinuate himself into the chair of the croupier, whom he proposed to supersede by no very gentle means. The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer — Volume 4 They could not trust the people that play, I suppose, and it is doubtful if the people could trust the croupiers. The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) "See!" and loosening her fingers he took from them the five-louis note and tossed it over to the croupier to be added to his bank. At the Villa Rose With his entire stake on the red the ball continued to fall into the red holes until the croupier announced that the bank was broken. Brewster's Millions Next moment a dozen persons followed her play, staking their cent-sous and louis upon the spot where she had asked the croupier at the end of the table to place her stake. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo "Fifteen thousand francs," said the croupier, with a look of surprise. The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer — Volume 4 I have met an old croupier who recollects them even now. The Clique of Gold Even as Ricardo looked Wethermill turned up "a natural," and the croupier swept in the stakes from either side. At the Villa Rose He had watched the duchess, and had called the croupier's attention to her neat little method. Brewster's Millions And a moment later Mademoiselle had pushed before her at the end of the croupier's rake another pile of counters, while all those who had followed the remarkable woman's play were also paid. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo "Le coup est bon!" cried the raven in authority, and the croupier's spoon hovered over the tableau. Simon the Jester His manner of playing was anything but gentlemanlike, and when he lost, he used to swear in German at everything that was French, looking daggers at the croupiers. Reminiscences of Captain Gronow The croupier began to count Wethermill's winnings, and Ricardo, curious to know whose small, delicately gloved hand it was which had brought the game to so abrupt a termination, leaned forward. At the Villa Rose The others laughed idly and bethought themselves of their own glasses, and the croupier again set the ball spinning and drew their eyes. The Judgment House But "Mademoiselle," as the croupiers always called her, was usually lucky. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo The cards were dealt, the banker exposed a nine, the highest number, and the croupier's flat spoon swept the table. Simon the Jester But the settlement was followed by a short whisper, and a croupier, in a voice as mechanical as ever, chanted that the sum set apart for that table was exhausted for that day. A Woman-Hater But it was plain that his good fortune stayed at his elbow tonight, for opposite to him the croupier was arranging with extraordinary deftness piles of bank-notes in the order of their value. At the Villa Rose "Rien ne va plus!" called the croupier; but no coins had fallen on the green cloth, and the wheel stopped spinning for the night, as though by common consent. The Judgment House The green-covered gaming table, at which she was sitting next to the end croupier on the left-hand side, was crowded. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo "By George, you have it!" exclaimed Lynde, who was watching the croupier. The Titan This official sat in the center, flanked on each side by croupiers with rakes; but at each end of the table there was also a croupier with his rake. A Woman-Hater He was still vaguely puzzling his brains to fix the place when the croupier finished his reckoning. At the Villa Rose Well, Stafford," Landrassy said in smooth tones and with a jerk of the head backward, "the tables are deserted, the croupier is going home. The Judgment House The red and black wheel was already spinning, and the little ivory ball sent by the croupier's hand in the opposite direction was clicking quickly over the numbered spaces. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo "Table closed!" called the croupier, and instantly the little ball began to spin. The Titan Once at Wiesbaden I caught a croupier, out on a holiday. A Woman-Hater The Jew had the quick wit to give them, as call-word, that is was a croupier who had been found cheating and fled; it sufficed to inflame the whole mob against the fugitive. Under Two Flags At every half-minute or so he placed his money on a certain spot, and as regularly had the mortification of seeing it swept away by the croupier's rake. A Laodicean : a Story of To-day The ball dropped with a sudden click, the croupier announced that number five had won, and at once raked in the two thousand francs among others. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo I can gather it in just as well as that croupier, and I'll go get a truck and haul it home, where it will do some good. The Titan The fourteenth time the ball rolled into 21, and the croupier handed her thirty-five times her stake, and a lot more for color. A Woman-Hater With his eyes glued on the table, and ears open for every remark, of the players and the croupier, he took his first lesson in roulette. The Grand Babylon Hotel She might have been the croupier and they the gamblers who had thrown upon the table their last stake. The Devil's Paw Then a few seconds later the croupier cried: "Rien ne vas plus!" Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo The croupier called, the ball rolled and fell. The Titan They got excited, and bet higher; the croupiers pelted them with golden coins, and they began to pant and flush, and their eyes to gleam. A Woman-Hater In ten minutes the croupier of that table was obliged to suspend operations pending the arrival of a further supply of coin. The Grand Babylon Hotel Number twenty-seven came up, and the croupiers flung over three gold pieces and five florins to Lady Kicklebury, which she raked up with a trembling hand. The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh The croupiers at that table are ever watchful of the visitor who, all unawares, occupies that fatal chair. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo "Make your game, gentlemen," said the croupier monotonously. Under the Redwoods Still, external stoicism prevailed, on the whole, and had a fixed example in the tailleur and the croupiers. A Woman-Hater A moment later the croupier was raking it in. Eugene Pickering The result was that the croupier paid me out three times my total stake! The Gambler The croupiers' invitation to play did not interest her. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo The upshot of this is that within twenty-four hours after its appearance his honour's wrath is appeased, and croupiers and gamblers go on in the same old round as if nothing whatever had happened. Historic China, and other sketches When the croupier had gaffed all his money he would repent and say, “Now, that would have kept me at Loch Leven for a fortnight.” Angling Sketches He watched from a corner the players, and greedily coveted the masses of gold and silver piled in pyramids behind the croupiers. Stories by English Authors: Africa (Selected by Scribners) Many a lorgnette I saw turned in her direction, and the croupiers' hopes rose high that such an eccentric player was about to provide them with something out of the common. The Gambler She heard the croupier announce the winning number and saw the rakes at work dragging in the stakes to swell the bank. Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo Still keeping out of range, and using his iron bar as a croupier uses his rake, he pushed the envelope across the carpet and under the door. The Lost House He liked baiting the croupiers in the "Owl." Dangerous Days Indeed, she was bored—bored as though Heaven had been full of casinos with snuffy old saints for croupiers and crowns to play with. The Garden Party and Other Stories I pressed forward towards the middle of the room until I had secured a seat at a croupier's elbow. The Gambler "That was his last cartridge, of course," said the croupier, smiling after a moment's silence, during which he picked up the coin between his finger and thumb and held it up. The Magic Skin Monsieur, monsieur—" here she nudged the croupier who was sitting on her left, and preparing to spin—"combien zero? The Gambler At all events, the croupiers of Roulettenberg seemed to look upon the Grandmother as their lawful prey—whereafter there befell what our party had foretold. The Gambler The croupiers were making up a heavy packet of coins, sealed in blue paper, and containing fifty ten gulden pieces, together with an unsealed packet containing another twenty. The Gambler She could no longer sit still, and actually struck the table with her fist when the croupier cried out, "Trente-six," instead of the desiderated zero. The Gambler The croupier spread out the cards, and seemed to wish luck to the newcomer, indifferent as he was to the losses or gains of those who took part in these sombre pleasures. The Magic Skin The croupiers glanced around them, and exchanged a few words; the bystanders murmured expectantly. The Gambler At the Casino the Grandmother seemed to be expected, for no time was lost in procuring her former place beside the croupier. The Gambler In fact, I cannot have been in possession of all my faculties, for I can remember the croupiers correcting my play more than once, owing to my having made mistakes of the gravest order. The Gambler The croupiers who sat at the two ends of it had not only to watch the stakes, but also to calculate the game—an immense amount of work for two men! The Gambler The young man only understood his calamity when the croupiers's rake was extended to sweep away his last napoleon. The Magic Skin If the very croupier and the waiters shuddered, it was because some traces of the spell of innocence yet hung about his meagre, delicately-shaped form, and his scanty fair hair in its natural curls.
