Topic: History of Gambling From Ancient Times to the Digital Age - page 2. (Read 497 times)

Since we are gamblers, at least we should be aware about how gambling started and how were gambling in the ancient times. But because of modern technology, gambling scenarios started to change. Before, betting using precious stones and animals were actually observed but if ever these type of gambling still exist these days, probably those were the unmodernized countries that were not completely affected with modern technology.

Maybe, but I don't think so as we are already in a new era and gambling innovations.
Well, we can say that ancient people were innovative enough about how they started gambling before but seem to know that new technology has become more advantageous. It is to know that gambling these days is not just for fun but for money and many people got addicted to this unlike before and why? It is because it is easy for us now to gamble, in fact, we can do it in our homes as online gambling is available which is quite to say that we are given the chance to gamble anytime and anywhere unlike before.

I still don't understand what happened and what caused the players' tastes to change in such a drastic way, because mainly we who believe that we have been in the world of gamblin for some time, well we have some experience with it. 'poker, I don't consider myself an expert because I only play a little, but I like it. For me, poker is one of the oldest games that, if played in a tournament, arouses a lot of emotions and apart from that, there are many professionals in this game, I like it and it will always keep me, I don't know if at that time those who were most active in poker was because the casinos focused more on that game, and well, when there is a greater tendency for alo, well, that's where everything should go, and On the other hand, with the other ways of doing things, for example, the platforms to play poker were gradually disappearing, the tournaments were being diluted and things were dying, only the poker that is in the casinos of the person vs. casino remained, Honestly, it doesn't really attract my attention. You think that playing poker like this reduces the chance of winning much more than doing it in PVP mode.

Let us think that when things were diluted with poker, those players who were always active resorted to playing slot machines to be able to do something and entertain themselves, so that they could give valid results and could have an experience close to the emotion and adrenaline that the poker is generated, because slots are games that are very exciting before, and if one concentrates on playing slots things can be feasible if you win, although it is a stupid change, because poker applies a lot everything related to theory, to the strategies that do work, and on the other hand with the slot machines, in the straagamoendas it is held that applying strategy is when making a strong bet, appealing to the good luck that you have at the moment, because otherwise it will be a hopeless case if the things are done wrong, just as there are people who win a lot in slots, there are others who are left with nothing losing everything.

I will not also agree with op or from the link he got those from and no doubt that he has done a good background on gambling exposing various histories and kinds of gambling from different geographical locations that were covered. So what about those regions that had their own "crude" ways that they gambled at different level?

In Africa for example, they had their own ways of gambling which perhaps have not been recorded as at the time they started existing. Africa had a way of life that was sufficiently robust and all encompassing and satisfying their socio political well being but most of the things recorded in Africa was as a result of the missionaries expedition visit to Africa that opened Africa to the scrabbling of it (Africa). So there are gambling games that have existed even till this time that are not in casinos.

It's really interesting, I've never seen a topic on here talking about the history of gambling and to be honest it's always good to know exactly how gambling started in our world since we are into gambling.

I think there's still a part of the world that has known about gambling for many years and uses other valuables stuffs not necessarily money but also others like precious stones or even animals like sheep or goats.

In many ways, it's both a weird and wonderful journey from the launch of Bitcoin until 1000's of sites dedicated to this topic. A timeline and brief history from Satoshi dice - the first bitcoin casino - until today can be found at https://www.cryptolists.com/learn/bitcoin-casino-history/.

If gambling is used for entertainment, I think the reward for the winner should be something else. Money should not be used as a reward. Today's casinos are made to make money, and there will be no playground for entertainment.
If gambling today were an entertaining game, we would have seen the smiles of players when they lost as well as won. What we see is that when a player falls into it, they will become an addict. It causes a lot of trouble and sadness in their lives.

Slots and Poker are eternal gambling games that will never disappear and continue to keep up with the times. I mostly play Slots just for fun with a few pennies so I don't worry about losing. Now slot games are very diverse with various themes and rules and different ways of playing. The more diverse and make players more addicted. Modern times like today are an era where the world of online casinos is growing rapidly. Many online casinos thrive by providing a wide range of sports betting and games and more. You just need to choose which one is the best and guaranteed.

China has a lot of distinction on so many things and gambling is one of the distinctions that prove that many things originate in China.
Gambling in other words is taking a chance It is inherent in us, we are attracted to it even if there are no sources of gambling around us we will eventually discover it.
what you post are recorded because of discovery by historians but there may be other forms of gambling and other places where gambling is popular in different forms.
Gambling now in a digital age is easy to access anywhere you are and you don't even have to expose yourself just to gamble in fact we never know if a person is an addict until he admits that he is.

All these games are well known but we see that the modern time gets the most used game and most successful game of every casino which is slot machines.The slots are only created in the late 80-s and I mean the modern ones as before we may had classic versions with not many options.Since then though slots have taken the gambling world by storm and still continues to do so,if we see the slot providers they provide 2-3 new games weekly.In old and ancient times people were limited yet they were creative in creating all these games which for me I only find them nostalgic as I don't play any of them except a form of poker which is Texas Holdem poker.

Yes, it's true that every gambling game always has its own history, from the past until now, of course it was only created to give pleasure to the players, whether it's traditional gambling games in each particular region in each country or other gambling games. Until now, technology makes it easy for gamblers. can access and gamble anywhere, anytime, just in a hand like a cell phone.

But what we see now is that people forget that the purpose of casinos and gambling is only created to have fun, not to make money or be used as a place as a source of income, that's why a lot of gambling has changed a little now, it's more synonymous with making money, not for having fun. I'm happy to see the development of gambling so that now it's easier for me to gamble using my cell phone, unlike before, I had to gamble physically, it's easier for the local police to break it up.

This technology has changed the face of online gambling because, with the existence of crypto, it is even easier for people to play gambling, where now they can use crypto without having to deposit money directly from their accounts. With crypto casinos, they can play anonymously even though now it may not be as easy as it used to be to hide one's identity when playing gambling because of requests from casinos for gamblers to do KYC. But this blockchain technology is extraordinary because it can completely change online casinos, and people can get a new experience in gambling in crypto casinos.

Technology will continue to advance from year to year. Especially now that there has started to be a wave of AI everywhere, including in the world of business and gambling, gamblers want to try this AI technology to beat the casinos. But no matter how hard the gamblers try, they will still find it difficult to beat the casino because the casino owns the business and will not let the gamblers win easily. There may be gamblers who can win but more gamblers who lose, so the casino will still get more money. And even though AI technology will develop more advanced than now, casinos will also definitely apply the technology so that it will be more interesting.

Gambling history of countries worldwide is different from the moment it was born. We simply understand that gambling is easy to form. Each custom and each country will create various gambling regulations. We should realize Gambling is simply a game that anyone can play. For example, something as simple as predicting blue or red is also gambling. Today, the digital age helps players gradually find more similarities in gambling. I believe that as society develops more and more, countries will gather together a gambling game formed by the players themselves. Sometimes, remote places still preserve their country's traditional gambling games.

Well, we have cockfighting it dates back to 500 bc

It's popular in many countries in Asia there are many cockpit arenas where people bet for cocks, there was also an online version of this ancient form of gambling some gambling games evolved to fit a new generation and there are gambling games that stay on even for centuries because they are still appealing in every generation, but what is sure of, gambling is here to stay its part of our human evolution they also evolve like mankind.

That's probably true, every country or civilization must have had their own ways of gambling when gambling was first started, people must have found ways to make bets using things that were valuable to them in order to win something on top of it. It must have been done in the form of some physical game or maybe by flipping a stone or something, we don't know, but as you said, I'm pretty sure that the origin of gambling from every region must be different.

However, we've come a very long way since then, the difference between gambling and its forms has now become the same for almost every corner of the world. You can barely find any traditional gambling games that are still operational in any part of the world, even if you can, it's very rare.

Yes, in fact technology has done its part in what corresponds to casinos, and I think that much is due to the fact that bitcoin was born and gave life to many things, for me bitcoin and thanks to bitcoin is that we can have all these things, in the casino, in acer trading, all this is thanks to Blockchain technology, to bitcoin and obviously to the main cryptocurrencies that have been booming, due to this the additional technology that has been created to maintain a business model As the casinos are a fundamental part so that they can continue looking for the improvement in terms of the fun of all, it is necessary to remember that the fun in a casino is considered for adults, that is to say, adult fun and that should be taken into consideration, when we We think that casinos can do their part in technology, the online casino and even the casinos that are in physical mode are always updating because the improvements must always come and manifest themselves so that they can continue, this is something that we all know and know. very well that can happen.


The technology has continued to advance and we can now say that things when it comes to casinos are going in other ways, and now the casinos must take stronger measures, for example the AI, which is something that is dominating a lot, Both for casinos to protect themselves in their security, and for some players who try every day to program AI robots to be able to beat a casino system, I don't know to what extent this is going to happen, but I am sure that it will be very disappointing for them. to go around, there are some players who can always put their algorithms to work and when they are not looking for a total ban of their casino account, but somehow they have to do the tests, then this increases the security in the casinos, because they will hire a lot of experts from AI so that they do not suffer these possible attacks, and it has had such a stir that it is now considered a fashion, where everyone wants to handle the AI and learn from the AI, some to program AI.

It's incredible how betting started in very ancient times, I didn't do research to find out more about it, but based on the many movies I've watched, in Roman times, they organized fights and people bet on which fighters they thought that they would win the fights, the most unbelievable thing is that the fights of those times end with a lot of blood and death, times passed but men did not stop fighting and betting on these fights, the fights evolved to a level where the fighters did not needed to fight to the death and many rules were established

the level of bets also evolves and the old-fashioned method without much transparency that was used in the past is no longer used and modern methods are used in which each person can see how much he can win in case of victory, also in the same event people have more markets to bet on, fights evolved to a point where companies started sponsoring fights and fighters, that is, gambling became an industry that in the past was not very well regarded due to the barbarity in that people bet, like when they posted her in slave fights to the death and people celebrated that, those were things that happened many years ago

today gambling is completely different, fighters are not slaves, they chose to fight, they are professional athletes who fight by rules and there are no more things like fights to the death. So, the evolution that gambling has had is something very visible, but it is still something unbelievable, because we are talking about things that started many, long years ago and that still exist today but in a much improved version, so I ask myself : what will gambling be like 100 years from now with this rapidly advancing technology? Will we see people fighting or will we see robots fighting and people betting on the robots fighting?

Now that we've brought up the switch from poker to slots, is it possible that this development is due to slots' simpler setup in online formats? You have to deal cards, have numerous players, assure fair play; poker is complicated, I tell you! Slots? What a switch-like experience, man. They are quick and simple, and my gosh, the adrenaline still rushes!

The old-fashioned poker tournaments in which players compete against each other, though, are something I can understand. They were awesome. Are the younger gamblers' changing tastes to blame for the trend, or is it merely technical? Man, that deserves further investigation.

With the development of gambling in this digital era, the face of gambling has even become more advanced. If in the past, physical casino visitors were people who lived around the casino, with the internet, casinos can develop their business even bigger because their visitors can come from all over the country. Casinos holding many tournaments can bring in even more visitors to provide even greater income for the casino. And until now, online casinos and crypto casinos are still running such tournaments because they have seen the results. Even later in the future, the gambling industry can grow even faster than now because of the development of the technology itself. And in the past, we didn't have to come to the casino if the casino was too far from our house. We can even play gambling with friends in our neighborhood and can enjoy playing gambling. It can provide pleasure for all of us even though there may be some unwritten prohibition in our environment that does not allow people to play gambling in the open.

And yes, the presence of the physical casino has changed everything from gambling games so that people are increasingly interested in coming to the physical casino and spending their time playing gambling. Especially if we finally find a local sportsbook that can give us the option to place bets on the teams we like.

It is true, we cannot deny that for some years the casino industry has grown a lot and it may continue to grow, many years ago I always frequented some physical casinos and it was important because that's how I played a lot, what I said before I played a lot of roulette, but for many years, even before the casinos, there were always ways to have fun, even since the beginning of time, gambling already existed, in fact there is a guy out there who talked about this, about the origin of gambling, about all that, for That's because things when it comes to gambling, to fun, human beings have always looked for a way to have fun, and that is something that can be Noticed for a long time, for that reason we have currently been interacting with them online casinos , now they have their own community, there are casinos that have their own discussion forum, where there are many interesting topics, some techniques, from one morning to another regarding gambling there is a lot of information and that is something that can be taken as good In fact, there are already gambling books, few but there are, apart from the forum there are other good forums that are very Dedicated to Gambling.

Currently we can't focus on something, when in 2017 I started with the casinos, because I realized that things were very focused on playing poker and currently they are very focused on playing slots, what could be the reason? I don't know, but I never saw online platforms again that could hold PVP poker tournaments, and that's because poker is one of the most popular games worldwide, of course there's also black jack, which I really like about that game, but also , we must focus on the fact that in poker in 2017 I found other platforms where you played with other people and even for free and you earned some BTC, and the money that was paid because you Earned much more in the Prize
