Bucking the Tiger: A Glimpse into the Early Days of Gambling in Nevada, USA This photograph, titled "Bucking the Tiger," offers a glimpse into the wild and untamed world of gambling in the early 1900s in Nevada, USA. The image, taken around the turn of the century, depicts a lively scene at a Faro table, a popular card game during the American West's frontier era. The photograph is filled with the energy and excitement of the game, as men in hats lean in, focused on their cards and the outcome of their bets. The Faro table, with its distinctive layout and intricate design, serves as the centerpiece of the scene. The counters and money scattered across the table add to the sense of action and anticipation. The name "Bucking the Tiger" likely refers to the risky nature of gambling, with players trying to outwit the odds and "buck" the house's advantage. The tiger, a symbol of power and danger, adds to the allure and excitement of the game. This photograph offers a fascinating window into the past, providing a glimpse into the early days of gambling in Nevada, a time when the state was still largely undeveloped and the wild west spirit was alive and well. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where men gathered to test their luck and skills, and the thrill of the game was a source of entertainment and excitement.
