casino (card game)  

Definition

  • Casino (or Cassino) is a card game played with a traditional 52-card deck, for two to four players. An English-language descendant of the Italian game Scopa (played with Italy's 40-card deck), it is the only common card game in the English-speaking world to use fishing instead of trick-taking.
