Mardah, a dabo girl, working the table
Dabo girls were females of various species chosen for their apparent beauty, often employed by Ferengi as part of the roulette -style game of chance called dabo during the 24th century .
During the 2360s and 2370s , Quark hired a variety of dabo girls to wait and operate the dabo table at his bar on Deep Space 9 . One of their main duties was to distract gamblers at the dabo wheel into losing. ( DS9 : " The Abandoned ")
Quark often included "fringe benefits" in his dabo girls' contracts , page 21, subsection D, paragraph 12, up to and beyond oo-mox . However, Commander Benjamin Sisko informed him in 2369 , after Starfleet took command of the space station , that those provisions were not legally enforceable. ( DS9 : " Captive Pursuit ")
After Quark noticed the arriving of a group of spiritual Bajorans on the station, he told Constable Odo he had to double the number of dabo girls because these spiritual people loved them so much. ( DS9 : " In the Hands of the Prophets ")
Dabo girls were also known to work on Ferengi casino ships . ( VOY : " Inside Man ")
The exocomp Peanut Hamper wanted to become a dabo girl on Freecloud , but ended up joining Starfleet instead. ( LD : " A Mathematically Perfect Redemption ")
