PROCEDURE OF PLAY
A. East Wind.
Position of the players for the first game is determined by a throw of the dice; all players throw once, the one throwing the highest number becoming first East Wind. In the event of a tie, players tieing throw again. The player sitting opposite East Wind will be known as West Wind, to the right of East Wind as South Wind, and [the] left of East Wind, as North Wind. The dice need only be thrown to determine East Wind for the first game of an evening's play, for if the player representing East Wind wins, or if the game is a draw, he remains East Wind. If he loses, the player to his right becomes East Wind, he in turn becoming North Wind.
East Wind is sometimes called Banker, for he must pay double stakes when he loses, and wins double stakes when he wins.
