with small regulations but indeed , thats better for our part and indeed this helps me a lot to gamble with safeties.

this will always depend to what kind of person we are and what kind of family we have.

exactly , that's what i said above so our decision and attitude will always matter here.

Yes of course. We are getting more problems now. One more thing which I want to add and I think we are facing it a lot. That's emotion over controlled. Too much addiction leads us to many curious diseases. One of them people lose the control on their emotions. They try to beat anyone with out any reason. And try to talk with their selves.

It is just because of online casinos. Because these are available at anytime at anywhere.

We have been very fortunate to live in an age that provides access to online gambling so that we can visit any casino we want.
This makes the history of gambling more developed in today's era and attracts more and more people to try it.
But this day and age, with all the conveniences we get, brings many new problems, including gambling addiction, depression, poverty, and so on.
We have to deal with this by always having good self-control so we don't get caught up in endless gambling.

Well, that's a super movie, "La gran Apuesta" is spectacular, of course the "shortista" who always does many of the analyzes with great intensity, for me it's a movie with a lot of learning, from each character you can learn a lot without However, I've only seen that movie twice, but I want to see it again, I don't know if it's on HBO max, I think so, it's a movie that makes you think about many things due to a fundamental, something very similar to what we are experiencing right now with the issue of wars and everything related to NATO and everything, it's very good for those who want to get motivated and do some operations.

As a comment with a special curiosity, I know that the history of games is very broad, it could not be said that it is something that is limited, I also know that many have seen the Korean Squid series, these types of events also exist, I understand that in There are many hidden things in the world that very few know, perhaps because of what it really means to enter something that is for many very prohibited and dangerous, but just like Russian Roulette, I think that series was inspired by something real , which means that those kinds of stories that turn out to be very chilling are also games that fall into a somewhat dark classification.

Yes, but it's in the nature of pigs too. So, it's not in our human nature, but rather in our animal nature to look for instant gratification. There's nothing wrong with that. Humans are animals, after all, and thus we can't stop being animals completely. We need those instant gratifications for our physical survival. But if we want them constantly and permanently, like gambling and drug addicts, we are more like pigs than humans.

I don't believe this story, it is one of the unverifiable stories about gambling. If anyone runs a business like that, such a business will collapse real soon, it might be that they pay some and not pay others, anyway, it is a story, and it might be true or not.

But what is true is that the first licenced casino in Las Vegas is El Rancho, and was built by Tommy Hull who's a visionary. This man's clearly not an Italian but a Yankie who is a hotelier from southern California.

Of course we are lucky! 
We are lucky that we do not live in the times of the "wild west", when the one who shoots the gun faster was right. 
But all these methods of stealing money from the winning player are rather the history of the development of not gambling, but the history of the development of law enforcement agencies and, accordingly, mafia gangs. 
If we talk about the development of gambling, then of course playing online has become much safer due to the fact that you do not have to carry a bunch of cash dollars in your pocket and no one will rob you in a dark alley. 
But, I repeat, the history of online games is still very young, no more than 30 years old.  This is just the birth of the next generation.  And yet all the events of this story are in everyone’s memory and they are still very reliable and did not have time to turn the legend and fiction about what will happen in 100 years, when all the participants in these events have already died.

And we do not need to go that far to the past to know this was true, when La Vegas was founded everyone knew the Italian Mafia was behind it, so if you won money at their casinos even if you did not cheated and it was just because you had good luck you could be sure that not only you will not get paid but you could even receive a beating, and since the police was in it as well then there was nothing you could do about it, so we are lucky we live at a time in which if you happen to win there are many laws and regulations which protect you from such an abusive behavior.

The casino developers and operators has alot of task ahead of them required in other to maintain thier consistency with gambling, government has it own demands in general which has to be in most times a factor related to task payment and registration in other to be under their regulation, things could have been made simplified if everyone involved take good responsibility of their roles then there wouldn't be a tougher restrictions placed by government towards some of the gambling activities in many countries involved having challenges today with gambling, thier must be concession with government, casinos and gamblers and each must have a participating roles under which must be discharged accordingly and as expected.

Yes, honestly I don't know why things are usually like this, first of all there has to be a business model that makes things flow and obtain the required permits, in the case of countries that already have a special treatment with their governments, They must wait to see if there is a possible change of government with very different political currents to see if they are released and work only for themselves as a normal company that does not have to be at the mercy of what a government imposes on them to be able to work. Things in this type of country at least have a solution, but there are countries that do not even accept a deal with the casinos, but instead the answer is a resounding no.

I think this is part of the freedom part, a person who is 18 years of age or older has the right to play as he pleases, as such he is a person who already has apparent responsibility and can do many things, in this case the freedoms in some casinos it is much larger than others, when in some casinos they determine that a person is losing control, they put a spending limit on him, if he goes over there they block him and he cannot continue playing anymore, this is like a measure of projection to the player, of course this is in online casinos, I don't know if physical casinos have that option (most likely not).

Theres a point gambling with that previous times does not have any rules and law regarding in too much gambling as long as they can play as they want the casino is open to them also some of the entertainment to them by that they can just enoy playing without getting problem about the regulations, only few people know how to manage themselves and there's other always play gambling just to make them fun for the whole day and repeat again.

Convenience brings a danger to many things, including simple transport with engines everywhere where once they were barely roads previous.  Its the curse of modern advancement, its not something we can easily turn back exactly it just requires more discipline in thought and practise and must apply to gambling and finance also

Besides, the law during those days are not as humane as today.  Ancient law are somehow barbaric that fights often occurs in public anytime to faction or parties disagree.  Though I do not think that compulsive gambling is way worst in ancient time than today.  I believe people who fall to compulsive gambling is way more in the present time than the old time.  Reason, communication  is instant today while in ancient times, it is not.  There are lots of platforms that hosts gambling activities and people today can enjoy gambling in the comfort of their home.  So basically people engaged in gambling today is way more than people engaged in gambling in the ancient time.

Correct, back then there was not as much information available as we have now about the dangers of gambling addiction and why gambling is not really a source of income except for casinos, not only that back then also existed the concept of debt slavery in which if a person could not pay their debts they could be made slaves and even other members of their family could suffer the same fate, since then we have advanced a lot but unfortunately there are still people which end up addicted to gambling.

In that time most of the mindset of the people are keep entertained and we know that it just limited thing to do right there to make some and of course, some of them are bonded together, even now still the same scenario with the people who keep playing gambling, but with now with the use of the digital innovation they can now easily play gambling to the use of their devices and getting more convenient they don't need to go outside just to play and experience gambling casino.

There are many historical references to compulsive habits along the story, some of them affecting kings and emperors. I guess it is in human nature to look for things that thrill and cause good instant gratification. But it is not less true that it is human nature to look for a better version of ourselves, so if anyone fall for compulsions it may be corrected with some help.

Well I never mean that you are wrong or what you are trying to pass to us is not helpful but I am only trying to bring it from an angle that gambling had been in existence for longer years beyond our imagination and even some of the books we read about gambling are just the ones that was written recently about gambling with a shallow history and understand about how everything began. Sometimes there might be little of information passes about everything really want that time and I know little will be passed.
Gambling had been in existence even before Christ(B.C) and we are only left with shallow information which was based on different region.

It is very interesting and it is good, I like it when in other parts of the world they have card games and they are so interesting, where I live there are many things regarding cards, I think that in other threads they have been named, especially those games that It has to do with the Spanish deck, they are very popular and sometimes they accompany it by having a few beers, it is actually very good, I understand that the history of the games has many aspects, it could not be said where they are born from, or who invented, I just like the way they maintain traditions according to geographical areas.

Well for me it is worth knowing everything, and as it has been presented in the thread it is as if they were writing a great book where each person makes a contribution, but it would be very good that due to each d'cada they did the most relevant thing, that including each event developed in the passing of that time, in order to attest that it is a totally complete story, of course, in these last 30 years it is easier to put a clear context on the story, the core of everything begins as we go further back in time, because only the experiences of those people who remember some events remain and that is more difficult to capture.


The article is very interesting, however it is one of the most relevant data there is and as it stands, there are probably many more that we have not yet discovered, but surely if they have been given for those years, this is something that can be demonstrated. , the only thing is that it is more difficult to go further and further back in time and if it is done that way, I can not even imagine how much more game will have been developed before that date, and if we take into account that we are given by a time that was preceded by the Vatican who were the ones who actually put the rules of Year 1 BC and Year 1 AD, we would not know how to decipher what the true time really is.

Online gambling is part of gambling history and evolution.  I don't know why you think  that online gambling as a part of gambling is not entirely true?


Whatever it is. gambling history, gambling development, gambling evolution, gambling technological advancement, and achievement are all part of gambling history.  To have a clear understanding of history - it is the study of past events or the whole series of past events connected with someone or something [1] .  So basically gambling history includes notable events such as breakthroughs, development, technology, and achievements.



To have a better view of gambling evolution and development, it is worth dividing gambling into eras same way the human history is divided into era or epochs.

That's true. Maybe the existing gambling records are not enough to know when gambling started. But surely, it's been around since human civilization started to develop because they would think about betting with others to get something. But the many records found provides evidence to us that the history of gambling has started since ancient times and maybe if other evidence is found that shows years older than those found, it will be another piece of evidence that will complement the existing records already available.
