The gambling had different opinion in different places based on the people.If you ask the people from the developed countries,they will praise the gambling like gambling was the boon to them.Because gambling may entertain them at the stressed life.If you ask the same with the person who loss the money and from the developing country,they will blame the gambling as their bad luck.So the same gambling had their own different opinion,the way of taking the gambling is the reason for the different opinion.If you had free money use that money in the gambling and get entertain yourself from the gambling.

Yes, I could say that now times have changed a lot, as you say, many who are minors want to know what the casino world is like, how they can play and win, how some try to find out and win enough. money, then all these types of things are what we can see as good at a certain point, bonuses are offered, contests are offered, they are very different things from what physical casinos do not offer us, in a physical casino, what What is done is to exchange the money for chips, the most valuable thing is the chips and what you want to win are the chips so in this sense the only thing that can be had perhaps as an advantage for some, disadvantages for others, when we see that Online casino bonuses are liked by players because it increases their initial balance. I don't know if it can be seen as something good, I think that in my personal opinion it is not like that, on the contrary, it makes me more stressed, because between The more the balance, the more it becomes a big game, so it is difficult for some players to play intelligently to win money and not play for fun or play to increase the money and do it badly, in a physical casino the money that was exchanged is bet, Win or lose and there is no type of bonuses, no wager or anything, there it is just with the person's balance and that's it.

I think that if a casino takes the same options and opportunities that are given in a physical casino, or its same rules, they do much better, because a person or a new player can take a bonus, but when they realize that it is so difficult If you want to do everything to be able to make a withdrawal, it's not the idea, you would be disappointed, because what every player thinks is, if I have 100usd and if I win 250 in the casino I want and can withdraw those 250usd, just without problems or anything , as is done in a traditional casino where the only thing they can lose is the identification document, nothing more, on the other hand, the online casino asks for many more things.

We have to understand something, for every society in which it is, when it comes to casino, sometimes this activity is not very seen, but generally I think that the game is for hobbyists, for people who have nothing to do, for people who They have a lot of money, for people who the only thing they do is play and play for themselves and throw the money away, what society does not understand is that each person is the owner of their actions, that yes, addicts exist, it is something that does not exist. It can be avoided, each addict is responsible for his own addiction because he knows very well that games of chance are dangerous in themselves, if he does not know how to control himself he can fall into addiction, I have heard that people bet their money and cannot maintain their sense. bet, and eventually they lose everything there, so this type of thing should not be done, you have to avoid reaching that turning point because it is so dangerous just to play, it is difficult when something like that happens.

In society in general they think that the only good Standards are what they accept and record as good, nothing more, there is no option but to comply with them, if there is a person who does something different that is already bad, it is not well seen. that things can get out of control, so in this order of ideas, things can be good for some and very bad for others, in the particular case of each person, what I recommend or advise is that they first be people who do it happy to be in a casino and play, then let them do it, because I have not heard that Someone who plays in a casino harms another person, if a person feels that they are being talked down to for being in a casino, then that It matters, you cannot control people's languages, if a person is happy doing something , but Society is not , then let him do it, society is not concerned if he needs a market or something and gives it to him, he will pay for services, Whatever it is, these types of things are what we should do , the game in Society is not Accepted, what does it matter, if we like it, then we Should do it.

People want ease in this digital age, which is why casinos are quickly switching from physical locations to online ones. Although, let's not forget that the bright graphics and huge selection of games at online casinos can make us forget that we've actually lost money. Young people who have never been to a real casino may not really understand what's at stake, which is a troublesome situation

Furthermore, I agree that AI can help solve user issues, but to say that these are just "common problems" is not accurate. Are we avoiding the risks, like gambling addiction and losing money?

Not even to mention how tempting VIP perks and rewards are. Although it's great marketing, it's really just a sneaky way to get people to stake more and spend more. Any casino, online or off, has one goal: to make money

You are right because I get different information about gambling in different places. As somewhere it is said that gambling was first invented in China. somewhere is it said in Italy and somewhere is it called ancient Egypt. Though there are different opinions on such matters, the main point is that gambling was invented as a form of entertainment, but besides that, it has now become a part of the economy, which has led to the rise of the gambling industry in the world. Here the responsibility of a gambler must be taken by himself. Shouldn't gamble for getting more profit with out control. It should be considered as a platform for enjoyment rather than profit. Some can gamble that is his  own responsibility.

Agree with you mate and yes I the past decades or century many traditional games that still operated but when the times flies so fast and now we are in new Era which is we can not deny the fact that there are a lot of modern activities nowadays and even  gambling cause of high technology gambler has a chance to play a game even though in a room or in the office cause there are many online casino out there.

To be honest I like to read about the history of gambling from ancient times starting from Greece, China and to ancient Egypt and to the growth of gambling now and at this time digital / technological that we feel today (online casino), I'm sure the history you mentioned in the thread, maybe I've read it and so on, what's certain is that gambling from the ancient era to the present is a very different comparison.

However, even though I like reading the history of the Kono way of gambling, there is one thing I have read that is most interesting about discoveries made by archaeological excavations, where they found several boards recording the value of gambling counts and bones. After examining it, it turned out that in the BC era, Egyptians liked to gamble by throwing astragali, which was done with sheep or dog bones, In other archaeological research, it is also said that in ancient Greece, gambling was not only carried out by the human race, the gods also gambled.

For example the history of the god of gambling and what I have read.

From the history that I have read, it seems that gambling from the ancient Greek era to the digital era like today, if you pay attention, maybe gambling in the past was very professional and interesting if done, natural and fun.

But regards gambling, history shows the exactly opposite. Thousands of years have passed, technology has evolved, cultures and traditions have changed, ideas and concepts have been recycled, but gambling is still here and have always been, doesn't matter how many changes happened meanwhile in every other aspects of human society.

It's like it's part of human biological heritage, since it triggers strong emotions on most of us. We can't make it disappear or fight it back. We simply feel the thrill and excitment and all we can do is to manage those emotions to not be harmful for us. That is where rationality and wisdom take place.

I don't know if I'm going to be glad or sad about this. But what I know is that the advancement and development of such things like gambling means that we are moving forward, and by this means the traditional way was being left behind and it happens in everything not just in gambling. This is sad but it's true. Time will come that the old practices will not be practiced anymore because we are fast-advancing. With these, the best thing that we can do is to still recognize the roots and history of gambling, because in this way we can still acknowledge the origin of gambling and how it was invented.

The development of the digital casino from the physical form to the online form has made many people see the ease of playing gambling. Many of them have switched to the online form or are familiar with the online form and have never visited a physical casino at all. They see that this online form makes it easy for those who want to gamble without visiting a physical casino. That can pose a problem for those who are not old enough because people at a young age can be very curious to know what a physical casino is like. Online casinos have brought gambling to a better level than before, especially with all the gambling games where gamblers are free to choose the games they want as long as they have money. Another improvement from casinos is that they now use AI to help solve user problems. However, this still needs to be developed further because the answers given are about common problems that occur to their users.

Casinos try to attract more people to visit their premises by using various methods that have been successful so far so that more people end up becoming permanent members. They are interested in visiting casinos that often provide bonuses or prizes or launch various other interesting promotions so they can enjoy the prizes. Interestingly, many casinos provide VIP facilities that are very different from other members, where various bonuses are waiting for them if their members can reach VIP. And that is a form of casino concern for its members so that the casino can have a lot of members.

Gambling has been around for centuries, and throughout this time, there have been a lot of changes made to it. People used to have different games and ways of gambling in ancient times. There weren't cards or slot machines or any other modern games that we have right now, I wonder what kind of games they used to have back in the days for gambling, and those games must have varied for each region since every civilization has had different cultural backgrounds.

However, the recent change in the form of cryptocurrencies has surely changed the face of gambling forever because people were never able to gamble so easily with traditional online casino platforms and the fiat and centralized payment systems which would take hours and days for a payment to get approved.

You are absolutely right, for that part is that when we enter a casino we see some improvements, and we can realize that things can be different, it is true, we are used to seeing a casino model and other models that can being quite good when it comes to technology and improvements, when we talk about casinos that focus on AI, we can realize that it is something else, just the change that says AI is something that many people like, but often not Have we been in the presence of AI and have not detected it? Not only in casinos, in sex exchanges, some used bots in an impressive way to make believe that they have a lot of traffic, and that was something that we saw that they had very active people, traders who were at the forefront and who were looking for constant profits, then All this sum of things were improving and becoming AI, which is obviously the one that now dominates in many aspects, when we enter any platform, be they casinos or not, we see that sometimes the first support when we need it is given to an AI, yes They see that the AI cannot give the adequate answers, they escalate it to someone else who can solve the problem, but in the first instance it is what we know and interact with, that is what defines us as users of casinos, games, and excavations , all that is what we should see.

The influence of casinos currently attracts the attention of many, because as soon as one sees bonuses, which are for other things, that attracts attention, I personally have seen that many traditional casinos do not have bonuses, but rather they are there change the money for tokens and that's it, if the tokens increase obviously you have more money, otherwise you don't, so these types of things are what we must see very carefully before making any movement related to crypto and online casinos, the Technology always makes things look better, but you still have to be very careful when operating.

That's one caveat. But in exchange for the freedom to play without an intermediary taking away at your prize winnings? yes please. People have downplayed the right to freedom in exchange for "less risk" when things were arguably so much better back then. Gambling without intermediaries and all the benefits is just so much better by a longshot than having someone take away at your money and sometimes even sell your info. This is why crypto gambling/blockchain gambling is becoming a serious aspirations of some pioneers in the industry. They wanted to make this into a real thing where people can once again gamble on a single platform without the shackles of control.

Well, as we move further into the future, traditional gambling games and establishments seem to fade away and new games and establishments and mostly online industries have taken over most gamblers these days prefer new games and platforms instead of old establishments and games for their gambling activities. The reason for that is the trends of today's era and the ease of access for gamblers that has been made simple by online gambling platforms.

Most of us don't even know what games people in old times used to play for gambling because they hardly continued after some time as people started to develop and come up with new gambling games and those who played those almost forgot about the previous games that they used to play.

well, if it's just a cash game, why do they ban it so much? I know being too addicted to gambling is not a good thing but also to make adult entertainment games interesting enough. i understand some think this is a crime. but if it is controlled I'm sure, it will actually be good for us because we can try it without getting addicted.

Irregular gambling has to be far more ancient then these examples, one off bets and wagers vs odds not especially outlined before the game.  Thats as old games itself I think.  The more regulated formal game with the tokens instead of money is something I believe did come with the Greek, Roman or similar empires as a form of leisure.  The regular amount of time spare to play the game and take the gamble became an industry in itself.  If you have regular rules then you have people who train to beat and perform best within those rules like sport, this is more modern type of gambling recognizable as what we have today.

Interesting history, yes it should be just a game, but they put money into each game, this makes gambling more intriguing and makes people want to try it. I'm sure this game was originally for entertainment. but entertainment will be much more interesting if there is money in it. but what I'm confused about is why some people now hate gamblers even though they use their own money to gamble.

And from year to year, the development of gambling is increasing rapidly, especially with the inventions in the field of technology that make gambling more attractive. This makes many people even more curious about this form of gambling because before technology was as advanced as it is now, they only gambled in places near their environment. But with technology, they can gamble using only their devices and from anywhere. Technology does make things easier for them, including those who want to gamble from home. Perhaps, In the future, there will be discoveries that are more advanced and different than the current ones, which may happen in the next few years. This is proof that human civilization will become even more advanced.

Addiction or any mental illness is not something of today, it is like the theme of homosexuality is something of modern times, for example, so addiction is not something of ours time only, they are always there latent, people become addicted to what exists and it becomes daily and they have access to it, people addicted to games did not appear with technology, surely since time immemorial addicts, they have been there: to games, to drink, to sex, to what corresponds to each era in the history that is lived.

So it is not uncommon for some men in another era to have lost their sheep, their hut or their spear for betting uncontrollably. 

Well, the first money were used from about 1000 BC in China ...were small tokens were created in bronze. The Mesopotamian shekel were seen as the first currency, where they stamped Gold coins to pay their soldiers.  

The first record of playing cards were made in China, where they used wooden tiles as part of some kind of Lottery game that later evolved into card games like Poker. I think people might have gambled earlier than that in some kind of form, but evidence of that might have been destroyed over time.

It is very interesting to see the history of gambling from various perspectives which proves that gambling has been around for a long time in human civilization. Technological developments like now have also made gambling change a lot and the games are more numerous and varied and access is also much easier than before. Especially since the development of crypto, the world of gambling has experienced innovation which allows people to play and make deposits/withdrawals securely using their digital wallet. All of these things prove that no matter how advanced human civilization is, gambling will continue to follow and be part of providing entertainment to the community.
