This article appears in Volume V04, Page 59 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BLIND HOOKEY , a
game
  of
chance
 , played with a full.
pack
  of
cards
 . The deal, which is an
advantage
 , is decided as at
whist
 , the
cards
  being shuffled and cut as at
whist
 . The dealer gives a
parcel
  of cards to each player including himself. Each player puts the amount of his stake on his cards, which he must not look at. The dealer has to take all bets. He then turns up his
parcel
 , exposing the bottom card. Each player in turn does the same, winning or losing according as his cards are higher or
lower
  than the dealer's. Ties pay the dealer. The cards rank as at whist. The suits are of no importance, the cards taking precedence according to their
face
 -value.
