Hey! You used a picture of me! You are welcome to it. I am honored! I bank faro regularly and would love to come up to the museum to demonstrate the game.
EXCELLENT POINT. The game would of survived if the house had more odds in favor of itself. The only way the house had an advantage was a tie. Everything was perfectly even.
There is no information on this game online... What is dealer suit? What is buck the tiger? Why can't anyone describe the game coherently?( Betting on a corner is not splitting the bet any more than betting on a color in roulette is splitting the bet among all those numbers, coppering is just inverting the bet, etc.)

Bucking the tiger is another term for the game of Faro. They called it that because the cards back in the day had Bengal Tigers on the back.
