Gambling Dictionary / Glossary


Recommended Posts

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
