has gloss | eng: Biribi, or cavagnole, a French game of chance similar to Lotto, Lottery, played for low stakes, that prohibited by law in 1837. It was played on a board on which the numbers 1 to 70 are marked. The players put their stakes on the numbers they wish to back. The banker is provided with a bag from which he draws a case containing a ticket, the tickets corresponding with the numbers on the board. The banker calls out the number, and the player who has backed it receives sixty-four times his stake; the other stakes go to the banker. Casanova played it in Genoa (illegally, it was already banned there) and the South of France in the 1760s and describes it as a regular cheats game'. He broke the bank (fairly, he claims) and was immediately rumored to have been in collusion with the bag-holder; such collusion presumably was common. |

has gloss | ita: Il biribi o cavagnole è un gioco d'azzardo francese del XIX secolo, proibito per legge dal 1837, e abbastanza simile alla roulette. Veniva giocato con un equipaggiamento simile a quello della tombola: un tavoliere con marcati i numeri da 1 a 70, e un sacchetto con 70 corrispondenti talloncini. Prima di ogni estrazione, i giocatori puntano una somma su uno o più numeri. Chi ha puntato sul numero che viene estratto riceve 64 volte la posta. |
