==Origin of the word== Originally a "croupier" meant one who stood behind a gambler, with extra reserves of cash to back him up during a gambling session. The word derived from ''croupe'' (the [[rump (animal)|rump]] of a horse) and was by way of analogy to one who rode behind on horseback. It later came to refer to one who was employed to collect the money from a gaming-table.<ref>[[Oxford English Dictionary]], ''Croupier''</ref> Originally a "dealer" meant one who was responsible for distributing cards or the player in the dealer position, regardless of whether or not that player was responsible for distributing the cards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dictionary.pokerzone.com/dealer|title=Definition of Dealer - PokerZone|website=dictionary.pokerzone.com|access-date=2017-11-27|archive-date=2017-12-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201032219/http://dictionary.pokerzone.com/dealer|url-status=dead}}</ref>
