Faro died because the house couldn’t profit from it honestly, and the public eventually stopped tolerating the dishonesty. But those circumstances no longer apply. In a digital environment — where the odds can be set transparently, where every player can verify every outcome, and where no dealing box can be gaffed — faro is finally free.
The game that defined the American frontier. The game that filled Russian novels and French salons. The game that Casanova financed his conquests with and Doc Holliday built his legend around. The game that 150 establishments in Civil War Washington ran simultaneously. The game that a 19th-century study found Americans wagered more on than every other form of gambling combined.
That game never stopped being interesting. The world just forgot it existed.
Until now.
