The story behind the game

According to the World Bunco Association (and yes there is a World Bunco Association) the game began in England and was later imported to the American West as a gambling game. During Prohibition, Bunco games were a big target for law enforcement. In fact, there were dedicated “Bunco-Squads” dedicated to busting the game.

These days Bunco (or Bunko) is enjoying a new wave of popularity. It’s played everywhere, but especially in the suburbs, where people host Bunko parties, complete with snacks, refreshments and a whole lot of dice rolling. In recent times, very few if any Bunko parties have incurred the wrath of law-enforcement. But just to be on the safe side, you’re probably safest just playing this slot machine version.
