Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first game I encountered that I only knew the basic rudiments of was craps, just like the title of the quiz. I did know that the name 'craps' came from the French word, 'crapaud'. What does 'crapaud' mean?
2. At the craps table I noticed that when the point was "off", there was one bet that everyone commonly bet. What was this bet?
3. When I signed up for a player's club membership at the casino, I received a complimentary $10 for playing at these machines that you have to line up cherries, bars and all sorts of other shapes. Some people were pulling levers, but most people were playing by just pushing a button. What is this game called?
4. Leaving the floor, I walked into a closed-off area reserved solely for the playing of baccarat. A very interesting card game, and a favourite of Ian Fleming's James Bond. What is this game named for?
5. I walked into an area in a casino with, I kid you not, over 200 televisions showing all sorts of sporting events. On the wall was a large board which showed different odds for different sports wagers. What do you call the wager where you bet on a team to win by a certain number of points over another team?
6. Suddenly, I was distracted by the sound of a roulette wheel. I've always liked to watch other people play roulette, but I will never play myself because I know the odds are stacked in the house's favour. What is the house edge on a normal US roulette table, on any bet other than a five number bet?
7. A popular table game I saw played on the floor was poker. Now, this was not the highly popularized Texas Hold'em style of play (which could be found as well) but poker played against the house. Which of these is *not* a style of poker played against the house in a Vegas casino?
8. A game my friend wanted to try out in the casino was called "war". Is this at all similar to the card game some of us played on long road trips that never seems to end, also called "war"?
9. Blackjack is the game where I made a lot of money. The goal of the game is to reach 21 points on your cards without going over. At what point value is the dealer forced to stop taking cards?
10. Of course, I could play none of these games without the casino tokens. Sure, I had to buy them with cash, but you can't usually play with cash on the table. They come in all different colours, but most colours are standard. What colour are the $100 chips?
