If one of the tacit rules for the games is to be silent, failing which you quickly risk eviction, it is good to experience a minimum the words of the perfect player. And if you're not one, it can help you change. We therefore offer you a small subjective lexicon of the game: false players and real beginners, do not abstain.
Nothing exhaustive in this small list which is, we told you at the outset, necessarily subjective: here as in the game, you have to choose well. The words and expressions of the players are no longer counted and there would be enough to fill a bottin. In short, that's all you have always wanted to know about the words of gambling Without ever daring to ask ...
Casino enlightened lovers' expressions

- Sprinkler : Roulette, it is the player who puts significant sums randomly.
- Banker : is not the one you believe. In Baccara, the word designates the hand obtained by the house. You can bet on the banker's hand (the house therefore), that of the player or on an equal bet.
- Blacks : $ 100 tokens.
- Corpse : Roulette, corpses carry suit. These are the players who are not lucky and often lose.
- casino : of American origin of course, literally a "little house", a pleasure house that then became a house of play. Ecco!

- Charlemagne : Roulette, the player made Charlemagne by deciding not to replay after a winning tour. Crowned Charlemagne !
- Flambper : There, we are not going to make you the insult to give you a definition, the flambder speaking of itself. In English, it is something else: a player who always puts big sums of money, we are talking about a "Whale" (literally, a whale, enough to lose his British). We also speak of cheetah. Precision: a small flambper is an average casino client who knows the games of money well.
- Table games : Nothing to do with what Victor Hugo was doing. These are all casino games (roulette, le blackjack, poker, ball, craps..) who are against the dealer or the house.
- Tokens : It is better to have them ... without having them!
