Faro (/ˈfɛəroʊ/ FAIR-oh), Pharaoh, Pharao, or Farobank is a late
17th-century French gambling card game. It is descended from Basset,
and belongs to the Lansquenet and Monte Bank family of games due to
the use of a banker and several players. Winning or losing occurs when
cards turned up by the banker match those already exposed.It is not a
direct relative of poker, but Faro was often just as popular due to
its fast action, easy-to-learn rules, and better odds than most games
of chance. The game of Faro is played with only one deck of cards and
admits any number of players.Popular in North America during the
1800s, Faro was eventually overtaken by poker as the preferred card
game of gamblers in the early 1900s.Variants include German Faro,
Jewish Faro, and Ladies' Faro. Faro (card game) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
