Sawdust Joint
( poker )
1) A card room
or casino that caters to a low-class crowd, sometimes implying a place whose
denizens include thieves. Comes from a time when taverns had hardwood floors
and sawdust sprinkled on the floor to absorb spilled drinks.
2) Any gambling house of less-than-opulent surroundings, as opposed to a carpet
joint.
