Etymology

The term 'croupier' originates from the French word 'croupier', which translates to 'the one who is behind'. This word originally referred to the person who was seated behind a gaming table or dealt with the games. The French term is derived from 'croupe', which means 'rump' or 'back end', indicating the position of the croupier behind the players. The usage of the term in English dates back to the late 19th century when casino gaming became more popular in Europe and later in North America. As gambling establishments proliferated, the role of the croupier became formalized and critical to the operation of these venues. Given the rise of gambling popularity, especially in places such as Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, croupiers have become iconic figures representing the allure and excitement of casino gaming.
