Faro (ファロー) is a large electronic roulette wheel manufactured by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. for Japanese arcades in 1974. Despite its name it has nothing to do with the Faro card game, also used as a form of gambling.
The Faro is a very large machine presumed to have been sold only in Japan. Very few (in any) exist today.
Faro was the first major hit medal game in Japan.[4] Sega released a medal game earlier that year, Silver Falls, and then a major hit medal game later that year, Harness Race.
Sega released sequels in the form of the Faro II and Faro Jack.
