Non-PRO English to Romanian Social Sciences Law (general)

"In gambling jargon, a HOLDOUT is any of numerous accessories used by cheats to help them "HOLD-OUT" a card (or cards) during a game. Some HOLDOUT DEVICES are extremely simple and require moderate or advanced manipulative skill to be used properly. The main purpose of any HOLDOUT DEVICE is to temporarily hold a card out of the game, so that the cheat may retrieve it at some later convenient time. The cheat not only knows the identity of this card (an advantage that no other player has) and knows that it couldn't possibly be dealt to any other player, but this card also serves as if AN EXTRA CARD was dealt to the cheat on every round. In effect, this is as if the cheat was dealt A BONUS CARD, so that he may decide which combination of cards he likes best and finally discard the unwanted one, only to possibly use it on the next round (or at least switch it for a better one).
