Definition
Plural of 'faro,' a gambling card game in which players bet on which cards will be drawn from a dealing box in a particular order.
Etymology
From Spanish 'faro' (originally 'farao'), possibly derived from Pharaoh, perhaps because an image of a pharaoh appeared on early playing cards used in this game.
Kelly Says
Faro was the most popular casino game in the American Old West, and it's the only game that allowed players to mathematically determine if the deck was being manipulated—making it a game of genuine odds rather than pure chance.
