Cassino, sometimes spelt Casino, is 👄 an English card game for two to four players using a standard, 52-card, French-suited pack.[1] It is the only fishing 👄 game to have penetrated the English-speaking world.[1] It is similar to the later Italian game of Scopa and is often 👄 said, without substantiation, to be of Italian origin. Cassino is still played today in Madeira, probably due to English influence.[2]
History 👄 [ edit ]
Although Cassino is often claimed to be of Italian origin, detailed research by Franco Pratesi has shown that 👄 there is no evidence of it ever being played in Italy and the earliest references to its Italian cousins, Scopa 👄 and Scopone, post-date those of Cassino.[3] The spelling "Cassino" is used in the earliest rules of 1792 and is the 👄 most persistent spelling since,[4] although German sources invariably use the spelling "Casino" along with some English sources.
Likewise an origin in 👄 gambling dens appears unlikely since a casino in the late 18th century was a summer house or country villa; the 👄 name was not transferred to gambling establishments until later.[5]
