Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANK ,2 known also as "
POLISH
  BANK " and "
RussIAN
  BANK " a card-
game
 . An
ordinary
 
pack
  is used. Five or six players is a convenient number. Each contributes an arranged stake to the pool. The dealer gives three
cards
  to each player and turns up another; if this is not
lower
  than an eight (ace is lowest) he goes on till such a card is exposed. The player on the dealer's left, without touching or looking at his
cards
 , can bet the amount of the pool, or any
part
  of it, that among his cards is one that is higher (of the same suit) than the turn-up. If he wins, he takes the amount from the pool; if he loses, he pays it to the pool. Each player does the same in turn, the dealer last. Whenever the pool is exhausted, a fresh stake is put into the pool. After a round is over the deal passes. No player may
touch
  his cards until he has made his bet; the
penalty
  is a fine to the pool of twice the stake, and the loss of his right to bet during that round.
