Patrons of the Las Vegas Club partake in a game of faro (misspelled ferro in the photo). The dealer dealt two cards per turn from a standard deck of 52, and the object was for players to predict which cards would appear. The first card would win for the bank, and the second would win for the player. Because of the game's almost even odds, it is no longer offered at modern casinos.
