Western card game is a type of gambling game that originated in the United States in the 19th century. The most popular form of this game is Faro, which is a four-letter word. Faro is a banking game in which players bet against the house on the outcome of two dealt cards. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards and the players can bet on the suit, rank, or both of the cards. The house has an advantage in Faro, as it pays out less than the true odds of the game.
