FRONTIER GAMBLERS
Welcome to Frontier Gamblers, the site dedicated to those men and a few women that made their living by the turn of a card.
On this site you will find information about the games they played, the equipment used in those games and the gamblers that had the biggest impact on the Old West. Men such as Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and Luke Short and women like Lottie Deno and Big Nose Kate. These were the days before people had even heard of Texas Holdem, when games such as Faro and 3 Card Monte were played in musty old saloons, as opposed to casinos. By the 1890's Keno, the forerunner to Bingo was all the rage. Today you can apply your skills and knowledge in online Bingo, an on-line game that is as popular today as Keno was back in it's day.
You will also learn what the life of a gambler was like, what towns they played in and how their lives ended.
