Faro (card-game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (526 words) |
| Although both Faro and Basset were forbidden in France, on severe penalties, these games continued to be in great vogue in England during the 18th century; apparently because it was easy to learn, it gave the appearance of being very fair, and, lastly, it was a very quiet, quick game, and could be played discreetly. |
| Faro bankers were alleged to employ 'gentlemen' to give a very favourable report of the game to the town, so that the games would be allowed to transpire without further inquiry. |
| Faro was played with an entire pack of cards, and admitted of an indeterminate number of players, termed 'punters,' and a 'banker.' Each player laid his stake on one of the 52 cards. |
