Gambling will keep on evolving throughout the years up until we won't be around anymore to see what will be the changes and improvement because gambling activities will always adjust on the time and the kind of life in the future just like how it evolved from wagering from a deadly match into just picking digits in roulettes. And the things we used to bet now will be a part in the history soon that the people in the future will think what is it like to play roulettes and basic card games.
from generation to generation gambling will continue to be in our lives, even today, technology is increasingly encouraging gambling to be played easily, safely, efficiently and comfortably

If gambling ceases to exist in our generation, it can be said that humans have experienced a setback.  then that's history since gambling first appeared will continue to exist and continue, gambling is part of humans

In gambling everyone has their parts to tell because nobody was there when the world was created. We see gambling like card games, dice, horse, hunting etc from ancient movies

Another i noticed about gambling games is about taking risk, if you observe most of the gamblers very well, they were the type that likes taking risk and which is one of the key reasons that keeps them a gambler, if you consider those games listed in gambling you will discover that playing them involve taking a risk to make a win with their stakes, the history in gambling is indeed very broad, there's no place you could visit without their gambling history.

So all that been said, I must say that there is more fun in this modern gambling than before, especially for those who watch the games live

In my opinion, I do not believe that technology has brought more fun to gambling. The fun factor has always been there, technology has only made gambling more accessible. But the basics of gambling are still the same.

In addition of what you said gambling of ancient days is more preferable than gambling of this present time, because this present time have to do with the manipulation of technology which there is a lot of programming of game or gaming, so therefore gambling have to do with normal betting. In ancient time gambling is something our fall father's do to catch fun but now gambling is what we do to earn money and not really to catch fun

Well if you don't think that technology is adding more entertainment to the gambling industry, then you can use Senet to play your game, or this one to play your dice game
.

or this one to play slots



Or watch your favorite sports betting team in this kind of television system



then tell us whether you will have the same fun or entertainment level using modern gambling technology.

But this modern gambling has tons of freedom in it and then some excitement are lost because technology has eradicated some things that set the stage.

I guess this very statement of yours is not totally correct, because I believe that gambling this era has more excitement than in the olding day, because with the use of technology, it has added more fun to Gambling than ever before, because using football as an example, we have got live matches where people go to watch live games and  gamble on the live matches, and we have also got WWE wrestling match, where people go to watch live wrestling WWE matches and gamble on live wrestling. So technology has given individuals to either gamble from home or gamble at the very venue of the game. So all that been said, I must say that there is more fun in this modern gambling than before, especially for those who watch the games live
It depends what you are gambling on. You cannot compare the excitement gotten in gambling where two people are fighting with sword and shield with gambling coding with binary 001101 to get a winner.

Yes. It actually depends on what you are gambling on, because in this modern day, we still have Mixed Martial Art "MMA" which is equally liken to the back days sword fighting, whereby people get to gamble on two individuals put into a cage for a dangerous fight of life and death. But just that technology gives us the privilege to gamble on a variety of things .

Gambling is life itself. No life no gambling and no gambling no life they go together. We gamble in our everyday life,meaning the decisions we take in the way we want things to be done is gambling especially in what we don't have much idea on. Sometimes when we make the wrong decision it affects us negatively. Even Jesus Christ garment was use to cast lots to see which of the soldier will keep it.
Oh yes, forgot about that. If we use the Bible as part of the history of gambling, those guards are making a bet for his garment.
Quote
“Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”
Lots = Draw straws or Throw dice.
One of those was done before ending his life and I think it would connect with the dice that OP shared found in Ancient Egypt. There's a chance Rome found dice gambling in Egypt upon ruling them in 30 BC.
It proves how gambling was part of us long ago and we will find other ways just to see who the lucky guy will be.

Egyptians were probably gambling over slaves. Kinda crazy to think how long gambling has been around and what it looked like from the start up til now. People went from fighting in a pit and wagering on the winner, to throwing dice in a casino, picking numbers on a wheel, or playing a slot machine.
The history of gambling has not stopped in our time and gambling will continue to change. Those gambling options familiar to us that can be seen in any online casino are likely to become obsolete and will seem wild to posterity, as bets on the winner of battles in the pit look to us now. Although in general, the general concept remains unchanged. If in the past bets were made on the winner in the fighting pit, and for some time on the sports ring or playground, now the trend is shifting towards betting on the winner in eSports computer games.
I have been gambling for many years and have never bet 1 cent on esports. While I have seen others betting on matches, it just doesn't interest me in the least.

I agree and there was also traces the people gambled over woman and animal when there is no money to exchange the loss.
Some incidents are so horrible that that the chill goes down to the spine.  I wish people gamble not to hurt others - the financial matters are very strange.

The concept remained same and also the winning is based on probability but the ways of betting evolved from time to time depends on the current living scenarios. As said today we are living in the modern world and most likely everything is based on internet so online casinos took their own strategies to deploy their name in the market so they can remain reputed and profit making. But all those years the concept is same which means no one can outperform the luck so always gamble with responsibility.

I don't think it's something that's hard to believe that some activities we do in the 21 century were invented long ago because things we did have some history behind and that includes the break dance.
However, the emotional aspect then must be like what we're also experiencing now if not there won't have been some age restrictions and rules to prevent addiction.
What we are doing right now has an history all they do involve money, things or even their love once they put as a bet in order to play in gambling because in the past year's there's a lot of people that many got addicted. Even nowadays many people can not control their emotions in terms of gambling maybe this effect is one of the characteristics in gambling if we played in gambling for income then this will happen.
To be sincere, if we do the statistics I believe we will have about 90% of gamblers who do it for the money involved and it doesn't mean they will all be addicted but only the gamblers that are not mature enough to accept the fact that the house will always win and every wining is by chance not knowledge that is addicted.
I believe I stated what triggered a lack of buzz control during the game but I don't know how to do the calculation of people who are addicted because I don't think is like before.

I like the compilations of the history of gambling and how the article pointed down to the ancient days and how gambling was perceived at that time. But then is Egypt really the origin of gambling?
I think Egypt was center of the origin of gambling. In other holy books many important incidents and prophets came to egypt.
So we cannot ignore the importance of egypt in gambling though.. . .
Other than gambling, they too have pyramids, mummies and many more famous stuffs or events which is found or have happened in Egypt. This place is surely an important part of the history of mankind. Thanks to Egypt that they have discovered a game which are profitable and fun at the same time.

I cannot imagine life will be if there will be no gambling. Maybe my life now is a bit more boring but on the positive side, maybe I will learn how to save up because I notice that I can immediately spend my extra funds in gambling but it's okay if I can lose them because they are just an extra anyway and I already use most of my money on important things.
Egypt hold a very important role in the ancient history and there are so many incidents in our holy book which has happened in the past.
And like you cannot imagine life without gambling - many people do not imagine gambling at all. Different people, different culture!

This is nice research work. At least it has given information to the users that has not known the historical background on gambling just as me. In gambling everyone has their parts to tell because nobody was there when the world was created. We see gambling like card games, dice, horse, hunting etc from ancient movies. And most of those games were transferred to modern day to play. But the games have been modernized to colourful ways. Historically from my side, I can still remember a gambling game I was playing in those days that is no longer played in the Society. We measured like 100 meter length, and ask one person to run and also challenged another person to eat 5 cabin biscuits to finish before the person that is running returned. If the person that's running came back and the person that was eating the biscuits  has not finished eating then we gave the money to the person that ran. That is an ancient game that is no longer existence.

When I watch some ancient Roman's movies, I will see how they gamble with wrestling, gamble with war, gamble with dance and eventually gamble with anything available. The excitement I see is very far from what I see today. The ancient people even gamble with life with ammunition on the head. This they do with their slaves which shows that gambling then was kind of slavery. But this modern gambling has tons of freedom in it and then some excitement are lost because technology has eradicated some things that set the stage.
All I can say is that it depends, but I understand what you are talking about, gambling as at that time were with real life events, unlike now when it is becoming virtual games, that is the truth though. As of the ancient times, gambling can not be addictive as it is today too and gambling can just be with odds in a way not to favour betting companies more. But there are still fun you can have with gambling, those times are now past time, but I have fun while gambling around friends in this modern time, may be it may not be fun like the old time but it is still fun for me.
Gambling then was a real life as you said and the vibe was more then because you will see people gather and form a stage to gamble. Unlike today where someone can wake in the midnight, pick up a phone and begin to gamble. When you said that there were no gambling addictions then, I am not sure of this statement. If there was gambling, there was addiction. What you can say it that there is increased number of addicts which translate to the increased population.
