Gambling Dictionary / Glossary

[Luciana]

Hi!

 

 

I have a little idea! Lets post here some words known only in gambling world, so we all can learn something from each others.

 

 

All you have to do is to write one or more words with short explanation beside ( you can write some of the synonyms also) Doesn't have to be some complicated word, but also something like playthrough, withdrawal etc.. or not so famous sort of games

 

(not the happiest explanation, but I hope you understand )

 

I'll start with a few :

 

Bust - used in BlackJack game, when you get over 21 and lose

 

Pass - To fold, not to bet

 

Full House - used in Poker like a name for a hand which includes one pair and three of a kind

 

Jackpot - used in Casino for big win on a Slot machine

 

Trips - used in Poker, for 3 cards of a kind

[ValDes]

Great idea, Luciana!

 

Let me start with my favorite!

 

LUCK (also known as big hit/big strike/big win/jackpot) - something you expect to come after each single spin, but always late (with decades)!

Raise - To make a bet, usually large, on a player's turn during any round (Flop, turn, river)

 

Reraise - To bet higher than an existing Raise

 

Royal Flush - The highest but extremely rare hand in Poker consisting on 5 cards. 10, J, Q, K, A all of the same suit! The destroyer of hands!

 

Straight Flush - The second highest hand in poker containing 5 cards in a sequential order, suited. Highest being 9,10, J, Q, K all of the same suit.

Yes...actually. Just consider the term RTP and how many other terms it reflects to and then try to answer your own question.
