Emily and Kyle roll the dice and try out some good old fashioned games of chance. If they play their cards right, they just might learn the history of the word bunco.
The word arrived at the intersection of a card game and a dice game, both of which involved betting against a bank like in Blackjack or Roulette. However, you might not want to take your chances at these gambling games, as there’s a good chance you’d be playing against a well-practiced cheat.
Our hosts journey through time from Old West confidence tricks, playing cards in speakeasies, and taskforces against underground casinos. However, somehow this conversation lands them at the family friendly version of bunco you might know today. Though, maybe not too family friendly for the moms breaking out the wine at Bunco Night!
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
