Information about “20TH CENTURY FARO”

FARO is one of the oldest gambling card games ever to grace the casino.
If you enjoy fast-moving casino games, you'll love this unique
simulation called 20TH CENTURY FARO.

All bets which can be placed in the casino game are available in this
program for one player.  Even the casekeeper is displayed in the same
way it would appear in a casino.  A "Farobank" keeps track of all money
lost by or paid to the player, letting you know how you're doing
against the computer opponent.  Like real Faro, it's the house that
usually comes out ahead.  But you never know -- it could be your lucky
day.

casino.  All bets are paid and money is tracked by the program.  A      
'Farobank' is established to give players an incentive to win. 20TH

money than is paid out.  Another touch of realism.
