The history of the casino is interesting. The first gambling games appeared hundreds of years ago. Some remained unchanged, others changed radically. Evolution did not pass by the rules. Each game has a story, its life path. Many stories mention that the first gambling games were in ancient Rome, Greece, France, since the reign of Napoleon.

Each nation has contributed to the development of the best gambling games. The British invented the game, which today is the progenitor of dice and modern poker. Poker has developed rapidly: the French introduced the concept of bets; the British introduced the concept of the bluff.

Fans of excitement gathered in special places – the “casino”. Such institutions were located in crowded places where various cultural events took place. The casino in its essence was a bar with a chic assortment of drinks, but with a big focus on gambling. The following games were included in such establishments:

  • Roulette;
  • Slot machines;
  • Blackjack tables;
  • Poker tables.

The History of Casino Development

The Italians became the pioneers of the legalized gambling houses. From Italian, the word “casino” is translated as “small house”. It was considered prestigious to hold business meetings in such places. People gathered in huge companies, played cards, had serious conversations, talked about politics. The church opposed the casino, calling such houses as a “sin place”. This is not strange at all, since debauchery flourished in such places, and intimate services gained momentum. Bans on the part of the church did not affect gambling houses. Casinos have not lost their popularity.

History of the Creation of Legal Casinos

Since America forbade gambling entertainment facilities until 1932, fans of gambling games opened underground gaming halls with card games and slot machines, which attracted the public even more. After the ban on gambling was lifted, the famous personality Bugsy Siegel began to master Las Vegas and contributed to the history of casinos, making this city a world capital of gambling entertainment, and he became its king.

Siegel’s biography is saturated, he has been seen in many questionable cases, from an early age. Having experience managing underground casinos, he dreamed of his own but legal business, and Siegel succeeded. The path to becoming was long and complicated. To this day Las Vegas is the number one capital of gambling entertainment.

Online Casino History

The history of online casinos is very young because such establishments have appeared recently. Many companies began to explore the vastness of the Internet, transferring their gambling businesses to a new environment. Having mastered, online casinos quickly gained momentum. The development and progress of computer technology span more and more users online, which allows the industry to grow at a rapid pace. Thanks to high competition in the online gambling niche there are many free online slots that can be played without spending a dime.

Human excitement is a never-ending source of profit for online casinos. The vast majority of users visit online casino sites to get a charge with positive emotions, it’s nice to relax and even earn some money on such websites.
