Chapter 1: Section 3: Page 23: Line 40 (325)

 Three cards lay face-down before them.

I guess it doesn't matter if the game is a scam or not; it's not like the dealer asked them to place any kind of a bet.

I wonder if there's any subtext I'm missing in this line. I bet there's something I'm not getting in the overall scene. Maybe after it plays out a bit, I'll have something to say even though it'll be too late by then and all of these posts will already have been made. And then I'll look like a dumb-dumb who can't even parse the simplest themes and motifs in Pynchon's book.
