Faro was a very fair gambling game (well, as fair as gambling games get). Which is why it is no longer in any major casino - it was too fair. The only house edge was the half-bet taken when the losing and winning cards tied. It was as close to even odds as you could get in a casino, which is why it was so popular. In olden times, the Casino would often have to cheat to turn a respectable profit. Faro players knew this, and would also cheat - after all, is it so wrong to cheat a cheater?
no offense, you seem like a really nice felleh, but that was extremely poorly explained, from not mentioning how many decks, what happens to bets not hit, subsequent rounds, etc etc etc pls consider a reshoot and perhaps twice the length

Final turn paid 4:1 unless it was a 'cat hop' in which there were two same cards. Then the payout was 2:1.
There's also coppering, or reversing a bet. So if you copper a card and it comes up as a LOSING card you win.
You must explain that you're using 2 decks. The first deck has the 13 turned up cards and you pull from the 2nd deck.
How many decks do you play with?
thank you !!
