Hi!


I have a little idea! :) Lets post here some words known only in gambling world, so we all can learn something from each others.


All you have to do is to write one or more words with short explanation beside ( you can write some of the synonyms also) :) Doesn't have to be some complicated word, but also something like playthrough, withdrawal etc.. or not so famous sort of games :D

(not the happiest explanation, but I hope you understand :D )

I'll start with a few :

Bust - used in BlackJack game, when you get over 21 and lose

Pass - To fold, not to bet

Full House - used in Poker like a name for a hand which includes one pair and three of a kind

Jackpot - used in Casino for big win on a Slot machine

Trips - used in Poker, for 3 cards of a kind

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Great idea, Luciana! :)

Let me start with my favorite!

LUCK (also known as big hit/big strike/big win/jackpot) - something you expect to come after each single spin, but always late (with decades)! :crazy: :lol:

Sloto, you forgot to share your dictionary with us? :(

Meanwhile, more from me:

Bug - A Joker

Bet - Player's wager

Carpet Joint - word comes from the US and means Luxury gambling casino

Croupier - Dealer (Employee of the casino who deals the game)

High Roller - Player who makes very large wagers and deposits

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
