And in Europe it all started a long time ago and now we can say that avid gamers are the heirs of the wealthy social stratum of Ancient Greece, ancient Rome and Europe.  
In these countries, the game of dice has completely captured precisely these sections of society.  For obvious reasons, the working people had no time to play.

And the passion for dice among the church clergy was so significant that even the Cambrian Bishop Witold could not ban this game.  And then he came up with a replacement for her.  Instead of numbers on the edges of the bones, he painted the virtues in symbols.

On the early days of the US many of the public projects were financed by the use of lotteries, it is quite odd why at some point in time it became illegal when they had such a huge influence on the early days of the nation.

But eventually it made a comeback thanks in part to the organized crime which financed the construction and the development of Las Vegas, which is now one of the most important touristic spots on the US.

You are very right in what you say, particularly when I feel somewhat stressed or very tired I really like to resort to slots, especially those that are the casinos that I like the most like bitcasino.io and stake.com, I can't either deny that the slots of Duelbits,Roobet and Rollbit are very good, but above all I really like to review the slots of the nascent casinos, and that they have Pragmatic Play slots are the best of all, when I review a casino I like to see everything, from the model and setting up to its RTP to see if there are chances of winning something, after playing something so much, one deserves to win.


Really, things when dealing with religion usually and should be handled with the respective respect, they are issues that are very vulnerable, sensitive, that should be treated with the greatest subtlety, for me it is very delicate to express an opinion on everything that is about religion. and religious beliefs, it is something analogous to what has to do with politics and/or also what sexual orientations are today, there are many things that must be addressed with the greatest possible measure, and that is why when a person leaves to the fields of gambling and sports betting with the use of their religion is something for me that must be respected.

Each religion has their own rules and belief and that's why if some of the religions don't allow their members to gamble, some are saying that it is totally fine.
Based on the views and opinions of those that are in a particular religion, it will vary depending on what they really are convicted with their belief and commitment on that religion that they're part of.

That's because most of the fun is forbidden in the Bible and I guess it's also forbidden in all religions. But with all those pleasures, we still continue to do what the Bible forbids and all the scriptures under the pretext that we just want to find pleasure in what we do. We already know that what we do is not allowed or recommended to do, but we are only humans who often forget what our religion has taught us.

Religious view on gambling is subjected to the type you worship, I have seen a Parisian company who majorly are Shite rum a casino, they have an announcement thread on this forum and they are even running a signature right now, so because something is prohibited from a particular religion doesn't make it exceptional for other religions because the last I checked, we hundreds of other religion apart from Muslim and Christians especially now that we also have the free thinkers who don't believe on the existence of God. Saying gambling is bad, if at all it is, no government will licence casino houses, only the extremists see the addicted players and then generalise it as a whole.

The bible says many things that we do not accept, but I think that fun is something that is contemplated that we can do with all freedom and should not be prohibited, in the bible it does not say that, those who consider gambling prohibited in the bible, do not say casinos or something similar, that mcuhso's approach goes towards that already indicates another variant, I don't think it goes against God's law.

Everything that is a lot is bad and especially if the entire effect on it the person is becoming bad. That's why those that don't gamble tell us that gambling is bad and we as gamblers will say that it's not that bad and it will base on the person's activeness and perspective on gambling.
Especially these days, gambling is everywhere because almost all of the people in the world have their own smart devices, be it on smartphones, gadgets, PC or laptops.

It would not surprise me if we have been gambling 10's or thousands of years ago but perhaps not formally in precise ways, people have placed wagers on outcomes regularly and probably for as long as humans could talk and boast    Risk and to gamble is a natural quite necessary instinct imo

Online but not completely.   Thats fairly early globally but in USA I would have guessed earlier, I guess AOL didnt condone such things.   The reason might be the restrictive laws in USA for a long time.

ICEBREAKER!!!

Before we continue with the arguments about gambling and the religious matter be informed that the first Casino is named Casinò di Venezia in Venice, Italy.  It was built in 1638, though it is far from the world's first gambling establishment, the Casino of Venice is the first recognized gambling house.  It is located in the Ca’ Vendramin Calergi, a long-standing palace that sits on Venice’s Grand Canal.

Between quitting and what? I think you missed some words in your post, making me to not really understand what you are comparing with but if we are attached into something else, we are the only one that can fix it even if we say that there are other people that are concern and will help us because the final decision or act will still depend on us.

If the addicted person has run out of money then it's possible for them to do stealing with their partner of families money but if they can't get anything then they will do other crimes outside. This is why being addicted is bad and should be treated as soon as possible before it gets worse.

Going back to gambling history, it was said that gambling in America became a legitimate industry in Nevada and Atlantic City in the year the 1940s and 50s.  It was said that the trace of gambling in America started as a lottery in public during the colonial era followed by New York casinos being run by a Crime syndicate in the 20th century.  That said America has three historical chapters of gambling.[1]

There is a huge difference between quitting because you have decided to do so and quitting because you're forced to, it is true that addiction cannot be sustained for long regardless of the amount of money that you have because at some point your money is going to run out, however a person that is still addicted to something will spend whatever money they get into their favorite addiction as soon as they get it, so even if they are not spending as much money or time as before they are still addicted because they cannot control themselves, so they still need help in order to overcome their addiction, otherwise they're never going to improve and leave that addiction behind for good.

Indeed. It depends on our action if we gamble. Gambling is not a sin (though there are some religion particularly Islam who are against it) but you can be a sinner depending on how you deal with it. Gambling is existing for long years already and up to now evolving to give entertainment or to get more from the value that we're willing to risk. If you cant handle yourself (lacking of control and discipline) you're likely to end up as one of those gamblers who are not playing in moderation and had to face the consequences for doing so.

I agree that gambling in its nature isn't bad, even leaders of a religious group in ancient times throw lots to arrive at a decision.  That includes punishment, land division, and something that the tribe leader can't decide.  It is excessive gambling that leads to sin is forbidden so gambling in moderation that does not lead to sin is ok, IMO.  It goes the same with food - gluttony is a sin, money - greed is a sin, desire - lust is a sin, and the rest of the 7 deadly sins.

Well, not really, but... One of the first miracles of Jesus of Nazareth was the turning of water into wine at the wedding in Cana. So... draw your own conclusion.  

Sometimes it's higher than that and only a few really are able to quit. Each has circumstances to face with and we can't help from that situation because they have to deal it on their own.
The control that we have varies on how we're too emotional with the situation and it's not helping us if we're too dependent on our emotions.

Every gambler has their own story how they fight their addiction and I am agree with blockman that not all gamblers story ends up with a good quit and did not play again. But in reality As I observe I think  out of three gamblers want to quit but only 1 got his will and leave the gambling world . The remaining 2 are also different story 1 of those are  cannot control himself and did not stop gambling. But the remaining 1 he can control himself  but he will gamble if he had an extra money.

Not everyone has a success story in quitting and these vices are always said to be attached together but it all depends on the person who is doing these.

That's why not everyone will end up good with all of their overcoming stories. It's being done by many but not all of them are quitting for real and even in the past, the same situations and experiences from different people.

But the Bible also doesn't recommend drinking alcohol, right? So basically, all religious teachings do not encourage or may prohibit things like alcohol, gambling, adultery and others through their religious teachings. And we follow the rules that apply according to the teachings of our religion.
