Hey! You used a picture of me! You are welcome to it. I am honored! I bank faro regularly and would love to come up to the museum to demonstrate the game.

Reno, Nevada got Nevada gambling legalized in 1931..Give Reno Bank Club casino owner Bill Graham the full credit for this...

Sadly all they needed was 1 joker /the 0 in roulette.. to give dealers better odds.. maybe it would stayed around

And the old school players pronounced the game's name as Far-o...not like a Egyptian Pharoah...

There is no information on this game online... What is dealer suit? What is buck the tiger? Why can't anyone describe the game coherently?( Betting on a corner is not splitting the bet any more than betting on a color in roulette is splitting the bet among all those numbers, coppering is just inverting the bet, etc.)

[@Wolf-Squatch]

Bucking the tiger is another term for the game of Faro. They called it that because the cards back in the day had Bengal Tigers on the back.

@@Wolf-Squatch no one actually has seen such a deck.
