The points are thus calculated:—

That party which obtains the great

cassino, or ten of diamonds, reckons 2 points.

Ditto little cassino (the deuce of spades) 1

The four aces one point each 4

The majority in spades 1

The majority in cards 3

A sweep before the end of the game, when

any player can match all on the board,

reckons 1

In some deals at this game, it may so happen that neither party wins any

thing, as the points are not set up according to the tricks, &c.,

obtained, but the smaller number is constantly subtracted from the

larger, both in cards and points, and if they both prove equal, the game

commences again, and the deal goes on in rotation; when three persons

play at this game, the two lowest add their points together and subtract

from the highest; but when their two numbers together amount to or

exceed the highest, then neither party scores.
