Definition
- Monte Bank, also called Mountebank, Monte, or Spanish Monte, is a gambling card game played with a “Spanish deck”—a standard 52-card deck with the eights, nines, and 10s removed (making 40 cards). Less frequently played at home, it is usually played in gambling establishments, where a house dealer takes the role of the banker, dealing a top and bottom layout of two cards each face-up on the table.
