Africa Casino Poker

Introduction Casino is the only fishing game to have become popular in English speaking countries. Although it is traditionally supposed to have originated in Italy, there is no direct evidence of it having been played there, at least under that name, though many other Italian fishing games are known. Casino first appears in the card game literature at the end of the eighteenth century in London, and shortly afterwards in Germany. In the late nineteenth century it became fasionable in America and a number of new variations were developed. There is a dispute about the correct spelling of the name - the earliest sources use the spelling Casino, but a tradition has grown up among later writers to spell it with a double 's': Cassino. The standard Anglo-American version of Casino is described first, followed by some interesting versions from southern Africa (Swaziland, Lesotho and South Africa) in which captured cards remain in play and can be reused in builds. play casino online
