Monte Bank
Monte Bank, Mountebank, Spanish Monte and Mexican Monte, sometimes just Monte, is a Spanish gambling card game and the national card game of Mexico. It ultimately derives from basset, where the banker (dealer) pays on matching cards. The term "monte" has also been used for a variety of other gambling games, especially varieties of three-card poker,〔Oxford Dictionary of Card Games, pg. 162, David Parlett – Oxford University Press (1996) ISBN 0-19-869173-4〕 and for the swindle three-card monte. ==History== The two-card version Mexican monte, and the four-card version Spanish monte, are card games played in Spain before coming to Mexico and then the American Southwest. They were originally played with Spanish playing cards and later with cards made expressly for the game, known as Monte cards, as well as modified standard decks. These games became popular in the United States, specially in Texas, after they were brought back by returning troops from the Mexican–American War in 1848.〔Carson, Bridget and Rhodes, Sue (2002) ("The Soldier's Respite Civil War Gambling, How to Play Faro, Monte & Dice" )〕〔Frederic Gomes Cassidy & Joan Houston Hall.
