* FiveAcesCheater: Blacque Jacque Shellacque does this subtly; both the cards he draws in blackjack are a Ten of Spades, and looking closely reveals he pulled the second one out of his sleeve. Bugs, though, doesn't even try to hide it, winning with the 21 of Hearts.

Added DiffLines:

* RecycledAnimation: The animation of the saloon customers rushing off as Jacque appears is taken from "WesternAnimation/DripAlongDaffy".


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: To Robert W. Service's poem "The Shooting of Dan [=McGrew=]" (famously parodied twice by Creator/TexAvery). Bugs arrives at the Malibu Saloon (spoofing the poem's Malamute Saloon) and the narrator paraphrases the opening lines.

Bugs pops into the Malibu Saloon in Dawson City, Yukon, for a drink, while addressing the contents of his little bag.
No sooner does he take the glass than… BANG! The other patrons take a look at who issued the shot and promptly skedaddle, leaving Bugs to deal with him alone. Bugs more than proves to be up to the challenge, as he constantly gets the better of his nemesis.

Not that Jacque makes it easy for him. In the final gag, Jacque looks like he finally gets the upper hand on Bugs, who retreats to a powder room. Finding himself cornered and unable to keep him away for much longer, Bugs finds a small gunpowder bag, swaps it out, and hands it over (albeit with a little cut in the bottom). Watching the explosive finale, Bugs tosses away his original bag and boards a dogsled to ride off.

No sooner does he take the glass than… BANG! The other patrons take a look at who issued the shot and promptly skedaddle, leaving Bugs to deal with him alone. Bugs more than proves to be up to the challenge, as he constantly gets the better of his nemesis.

Bugs takes a match to the gunpowder trail, and… KABOOM! Fireworks erupt. Then he throws away the bag and boards a dogsled.
