Everything that includes the games in the casinos, sports betting houses will increasingly facilitate the processes to bet and will have great options to better attract the games, the dangers are great for children and young people who do not yet have a good personality defined and have access to money.

This gambling thing reminds me of the Ponzi story, I don't know if you're fully aware of it, but this is a facet of the story that needs to be mentioned here, not just the things that are good, but also the things that aren't. they are nice. It must be said so that the knowledge is complete, and what Ponzi did for that time is still applied and in cryptocurrencies and project schemes as well. And one of the examples that everyone recognizes are the NFT games that were so famous a year ago, I did not trust those games, because I saw them as very unreliable, but I have seen that there are many people who lost money and could not find the responsible developers.

That's because nowadays, many technologies can make it easier for people to do their activities, including playing gambling, so they don't have to play gambling by visiting physical casinos and can play gambling wherever they want. The history of gambling has changed rapidly and maybe in the future, many people may leave the traditional ways as people have found ways that give them more comfort and can have fun, even in their rooms. A lot will happen in gambling, especially if the technology is more advanced than now.

Not that curious but probably that they really were gamblers.

And there is this thing when a establishment is about to open, there are many customers that will fall in line just to get on it because it's still new. I guess we all have that experience.

That when a new establishment opens, we're there to fall in line and not just all by curiosity but with the likes that we want to be there because we want to feel the ambiance of it for being new.

Gambling does exist in different forms before it actually becomes a business. People used to play gambling at individual levels however as the technology evolved, gambling become a proper business and thus it was promoted to the public as a means to get quick income without much effort however the reality is otherwise.
When internet was invented, online gambling was also introduced and now everyone can access gambling platforms on their laptops and phones.

Whenever there's new thing and since governance is just on default then it would be soon legalized which is likely to happen considering on how much that they would able to benefit out then there's no doubt about

prohibition or something.It would really be just normal that people would be on line and trying out something which they arent able to experience even though you are aware with gambling risk
but speaking with new or overall experience on the first casino will really be giving out that curiosity and interest if you were there for sure.

It was another time. I believe between 1940-1950. The accessibility and connectivity between people in the world and even inside a same country was much more difficult. Furthermore the world had its priorities in financial terms, because it was during or right after World War II. Anyway, I think it must have been a desperate move since no other alternatives seemed available, and he was determined to complete the repairs at all costs.

This is an interesting trivia. To say the truth, I discovered Macau was the top 1 gambling market in the world one or two years ago on this forum, but for all these long years i had in my imaginary Las Vegas was still the main destiny of gamblers in the world. I believe it is due to the image the media builds in our minds through propagandas, movies and pop culture in general.

The priest could have solicited donations rather than trying his luck on lotteries.  That really made the image of the Catholic Church a bit negative.  First is gambling to get funds, and second is the Central Authority of the Catholic Church not helping their branch recover.  And indeed this kind of story is already noted as part of gambling history.

Here's another gambling history, did you know that it was in 2007 when Macau overtook Las Vegas to become the largest gambling market in the world?[1]

Even though it was the very first casino, which may have contributed towards the enthusiasm and excitement of the whole situation, I doubt that the people did not understand the risks of gambling as gambling itself was definitely not a new concept. People just just gambled in private.

The crowd was probably just thrilled at the idea of official gambling and something new. Gambling may have not quite been legal yet, at that point.

I imagine its like when weed got legalized.

Curiously I have known a fact about a catholic priest from last century who bet on the lottery in order to acquire enough funds to repair the church he was responsible for. The maintenance was made necessary after a heavy storm devastated several local buildings, including the church. Probably the superior instances of Catholic institution didn't release funds to start the repairs, so the priest himself had to find an alternative to collect enough money. Moreover, the local community was humble, therefore they couldn't donate the necessary amount, so gambling has become a possibility, although it isn't mentioned if he had success wagering or not.

It makes me believe he didn't... Stories like this are also part of gambling history.

this is a very interesting fact,
people waiting in line must be very curious about what is really in the casino, I can't imagine the euphoria that happened in the world's first casino.

Yes, I agree with those who say it is greed that comes to people so they think they can profit from gambling.
They don't see gambling as a way to get entertainment but to make money.
That is why many people lose money and become addicted to gambling.
And if the people who lost the money wanted to recover their money, it wouldn't be easy because they could have used more money just to recover the loss.
This will cost them more than before as they continue to play in the hope of winning a lot of money.

If we experience a loss at gambling that is greater than a win, we will instead try to recover from that loss but the results we get will not be what we imagined.

That means they can control themselves and try to avoid losing more.
If the money was just extra, they might still use it to gamble but it would be better if they just stopped.

If we get a big profit from gambling, our mind will surely say that we should try our luck by playing gambling again next time.
But the reality will not be like that because we can get a lot of losses.

So we need to control our greed and always obey our rule before it is too late to realize.

Somehow I disagree with the bold line.  anything can become an addiction, even an entertainment-seeking purpose on a game can be addicting.  We have seen lots of kids getting addicted to certain games, so even without gambling, a person can be addicted to a game.

Here is another gambling history note.  In the year 1978, May of 26 (Memorial Day weekend) the first casino open in Atlantic City.  It was reported that players waited over two hours in line just to get inside.[1]

If we think about it, gambling has always been there. And since it's been a long time, even with each passage of time, then the system was already upgraded as well that gambling has until our generation now has this new technology online. The gambler who likes to gamble with cryptocurrency in casinos has been made easier and less difficult.

And online gambling has also been a great help to gamblers and especially to those who are really addicted to gambling games.
It can't be avoided in every country around the world to stop it, because there are countries that accept the situation of making gambling legal if it helps the government in some other ways.

this is mostly the plan but we are going sideways when starts winning and losing , we are deciding differently and we are going to chase our losses or to win big.
not unless those money are just extras or something that they can afford to lose because gambling is more on losing than winning.
we have all experienced this because like if you happen to gain big in your  first gambling venture then what will register to your mind is the chance of winning even when the truth already revealed that we are always losing.
thats it and that is how gambling works.

The greed of gamblers is what gets them in trouble, after all it is not as if we are strangers to the concept of paying money to get entertainment, we do this all the time and people seldom get addicted to those entertainment forms since they see them for what they are.

However when it comes to gambling people which do not understand how it works begin to formulate plans on becoming profitable with it, then when this does not happen they get mad and try to at least recover the money they have lost, not understanding that the longer they play the bigger the chances they will lose even more money.

That's what we have to do but not everyone can resist the curiosity of gambling will avoid gambling because I've seen some people are curious about gambling and in the end they try to play gambling.
Some of them can indeed withstand losing more money, while others can only regret seeing the loss of money on the gambling table.
That is a valuable lesson to remember so we don't lose money.

Yes, gambling is prohibited in some religions, but it is also a fact that the person who wants to gamble will gamble without caring about all this. For example, gambling is prohibited in Islam but there are many muslim who gamble.

I believe that one who cannot bear loss should not gamble. Because every day is not going to be good day for him. Sometimes you win and sometimes you loss.

I agree with the bold line because what we need when playing gambling is how to make and use gambling as entertainment so that we will not be dissolved in gambling.
If everyone realized this, they would not spend much money and could stop on time to reduce their money loss while gambling.
But unfortunately, not many people can control this and even get frustrated when they lose control and see losing money in front of them.
And if they win a lot of money, they get greedy and forget that what they got was because of luck.

The history of gambling is, of course, very diverse and is a long struggle between a person's passion for gambling and all sorts of prohibitions, ranging from religious ones to violence against the player in general.  But the passion for gambling is inherent in the nature of the person himself, as the desire for happiness and wealth.  And those people or organizations that fight against gambling allegedly care about the health and money of the player himself.  These people kind of make sure he doesn't lose all his money or even go crazy. 
And this endless struggle gave rise to an interesting history of gambling and is still developing in different directions - there are complete bans in some places in the world, but there is also their complete absence.

That is why, as I have said before, in many threads, if people managed to see the game as a means of entertainment, there would be no cases of addiction, because addiction begins when the player has the overwhelming need to win or win no matter what, and since sometimes when you play with a lot of pressure you usually lose, you can't do anything else, and that desperation makes the player more frustrated and when he tries to win he loses, the problem with this is that he lends money, asks for money from their friends, family, and many problems associated with money and the way they play begin, they cannot control greed.


They are details of a lot of knowledge that they provide that are actually very valuable, I did not know that I had had so many things that I had gone through, however there are many details that, when well ordered, can come out as if it were a great biography from those times to the present day. Currently, this seems interesting to me, it only occurred to me when I read all the little things that happened in those times, and it is curious that by uniting all that knowledge, such a legendary story emerges, at least it seems that way to me, this means that the trajectory of games of chance is somewhat controversial and that within this there is a lot of knowledge immersed, this is quite interesting.
