Gambling history 101
Gambling and casinos are not a modern day invention its roots
are laid deep back through our ancestors. Archeological extracts
and historians both strongly insist about the existence of
gambling events carried out by predecessors. Almost all the
civilizations throughout the world have separately revealed the
practicing of gambling acts within their community. Our
forefathers were proven enthusiasts in playing luck games based
on dices or cards. Their obsession for gambling was such that
they are believed to have risked a considerable amount of their
wealth only for the sake of enjoying gamble. At times when they
lost their entire riches the landlords and the kings would risk
their lands and kingdoms on the boards of gamble. And when even
this was not enough they are also supposed to have betted
themselves or any other family member at the roll of a dice.
Fate has ruled a man's destiny since time immemorial and more so
when a person is indulged in gambling.
While the wealthy were supposed to play gambles with massive
fortunes at stake even the middle and the lowly were not left
behind they would indulge with whatever they could manage for
the game. With them there was also a secret lust to gain some
easy riches. Desire to be wealthy in one shot is a theory ruling
all the gambling centers worldwide. None will contradict that
there is an innermost desire in all individuals to be rich
overnight. Gambling had also been a very popular entertainment
activity for our ancestors.
Extracts of dices and other objects that are somewhat like the
modern day cards were excavated and this pointed towards
gambling being practiced in as early as 14th century. The main
countries where gambling was popular were Egypt, China, India
and Rome. Earlier some of the rulers and kings had put a ban on
gambling activities but later when they relieved this imposition
people flocked at a common place to gamble and also some other
events related to business or pleasure drinks were offered at
those spots. Although some earlier governments were against this
act but due to the ever-rising popularity of gambling games
sooner or later almost all authorities legalized gambling
joints. With this legalization of gamble began the formation of
the present day widespread network of gambling centers around
the globe.
Almost all the games played in present day casinos like the
roulette, poker, playing cards, Black Jack, slots machines,
craps and baccarat have a history of their own development to
the form in which they are played today. Even the most
acknowledged place of today, which is a heaven for casino
lovers, the Las Vegas, has a rich history to depict its rise as
the worlds most favored gambling center. Las Vegas did not
emerge in one day as a city ruling the gambling sector
throughout the world. It was earlier a abandoned valley but with
people flocking there one by one and the government regulations
being relaxed to obtain the residency of Las Vegas the city
began growing. And finally legalized gambling led to an upcoming
of the modern day casinos center of the world.
