I bring you tales of Lords who went to a “copper hell” for an evening’s entertainment and lost their fortunes through nefarious means. What will they be willing to do to get it back?

Gambling was an accepted pastime during Regency times and people would bet on anything! An evening out or at home playing cards made for an enjoyable couple hours and a few coins made it more interesting. While some gambling was harmless and fun, high stakes gambling could lead to addiction, shocking losses, ruin, and even suicide. While wealthy men gambled in clubs, players could depend upon an honest game but there were also less reputable places to play. People from all classes gambled in the “copper hells” but cheating was common.
