Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. For this game I try my best with a pair of dice

Answer: Craps

Craps dates back to the late 1700s and was adapted from the earlier game Hazard. The basic game involves rolling a pair of dice multiple times. What happens after the first roll varies quite a bit depending on the initial roll. It is possible for a player or an observer to make a number of different bets based on possible outcomes.

2. For this game I get some cards and perhaps can draw on sone cards at the center of the table and try to get two, three, or even four of a kind.

Answer: Poker

In poker, your basic hand is based on five cards. You might have more--a whole lot is up in the air. Some cards might be wild and it's important to know both the value of each card and the suit. Betting is an important part of the game and being able to "read" the relative confidence of your opponents is a key part of the game.

3. For this game you spin it round and round and take your chances. Sometimes the spaces indicate money and sometimes they indicate dice.

Answer: Big Six Wheel

The game has several alternate names, including the Big Six, the Big Wheel, and the Wheel of Fortune. The wheel is spun by the dealer. A pointer indicates which choice is made. Different versions of this exist in various countries.

4. For this game the player goes against the banker and your cards can add up to nine.

Answer: Baccarat

In baccarat, only the single digits (1-9) are considered in determining the value of a hand. Interestingly, face cards are worth nothing. There are three possible outcomes in baccarat: you win, the banker wins, or there is a tie. The game is mostly played in casinos nowadays.

5. For this game the little wheel spins around and might end on 0 or 00.

Answer: Roulette

Roulette (meaning little wheel) might have been invented by mathematician Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. In any case, the spinning wheel has spaces for 1-36 plus the zeroes. You drop a ball on the wheel as it spins and it ends up in one of those spots. It's that simple.

6. For this game, it might also be called twenty-one.

Answer: Blackjack

Blackjack and twenty-one are just two of the names for this game. The goal is simple: you want your cards to add as close to twenty-one as possible without going over. The most interesting card is the ace which can have a value of one or eleven.

7. For this game, it is played on a 5x5 grid.

Answer: Bingo

Bingo uses the numbers 1-75 and includes 24 of them on the grid--with the center space often being a free space. The concept is simple enough--one by one numbers are called and you mark them off. When you've gotten five numbers in a row--horizontally, vertically, or diagonally--you win.

8. For this game, it is popularly known as a one-armed bandit.

Answer: Slot machine

A slot machine might be what many people associate with casinos. The machine has a handle on the side (the one arm) that you pull to activate the machine after you drop your money in. The term is somewhat obsolete now as it is likely to be operated by a touch screen instead. In either case, your hope is that certain combinations of symbols will appear.

9. For this game, it might be closest to a lottery.

Answer: Keno

You choose a set of numbers. Next, the machine chooses a set of numbers. How well you win is based on how well you match the machine. This type of game can be traced back to at least the 19th century.

10. For this game in some ways, this game resembles a pinball machine.

Answer: Pachinko

This type of gambling is particularly popular in Japan. It is seen as a mix of a pinball machine and a slot machine. The basic premise is that the machine releases small metal balls which travel into the playing area and drop into grooves. This indicates your penalty/prize.
