Different historians have made different comments. As far i know in 1638 a casino called Ridotto was first established in the famous city of Venice, Italy. Based on the advice of scholars at the time, the casino aimed to control the gambling that prevailed during the carnival season. In 1774, the Venetian casino was closed during a period of social decline. However, some believe that the origin of gambling is China, while others believe that it is Egypt, some others believe that it would be Italy. So here remains a controversy on readers mind.
Some people believe that the gambling started with Hindus - while the other people believe that gambling was initiated by Chinese people.
However even in the religious books gambling is also mentioned and forbidden, so it started very early now we see we modern form of gambling...

Gambling don't have any special place it is started with gambling is something that is universal which from the ancient time everybody do gumbo to survive that. And also use it as a play mate so I don't think that gambling started from China or hit you to any country you mention all those things is a things of assumption and a things of a personal suggestion

That is their way of seeing it, and also their way of thinking, but clearly there is an associated story, something more conceptual, each person has their own experience and according to that is that they express their opinion, but really if that story exists, if not , so OP would not have put the topic nor would he have done his research. Some things like personal stories are also valid, but since ancient times, since that time there was already a way to play and gamble.

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.

I am saying the same for years... every move we make is a gamble! It's can turn like this or like that... we gamble! It's on us to make a move and we will see the results! We invest ourselves on an everyday basis...  and I learned one thing, it's better to lose some money than heath! Smiley Maybe sound ridiculous, but with years this fact gets to all of us!

Even crossing a street is a gamble! Not the same odds for some village and Manhattan streets.... Smiley

A person can live even if there's no gambling but gambling can't live if there are no people to play it. But that's impossible since there are too many gamblers all across the world. But to connect it in our daily lives, well, you've the point that most of our lives are a gamble and we have to make choices and take those risky bets which means to take decisions that we don't know if it'll win someday or not with our future.
Gambling is not life and there is life without gambling, you contradict gambling and risk taking and not ordinary risk taking but calculated risk taking and risk management. In almost everything we do in life, we take risk. For instance moving from your bathroom to bedroom is a risk. You can slip, fall and die.  But 1 ticket out of 100 in order to win one lucky number is gambling. There are people who actually life a gambling free life but they take risks.

^^ Regardless where gambling originated, China or India or ancient Middle East, gambling has been ingrained with humanity since the dawn of man. Perhaps our ancestors really found out a clever way to dice, whether to used it for entertainment or other purposes. And this is how we involved, and this is also the same reason why it's hard to get rid of gambling because it's already on our DNA as per our ancestors.

A great deal of our behaviors may seem to be relatively new but in fact they are very old, the truth is that gambling is everywhere, for example driving to your job is something that billions of people to every year and they do not think too much about it and yet they are taking a bet by doing so, they are betting they will get to their jobs without any incident, and while the majority of the people win that bet every single day there are a few that don't, and this is similar to what humans before civilization had to do as well in which they had to take risks for a potential gain, it is just that in gambling games the odds are more straightforward and you know them in advance, but other than that gambling games are not that different from the decisions that we take every single day.


Plus "gambling" can also be in some activities that normal/regular people, who are not real gamblers, do. Starting your own business can be a gamble. You bet your own money, sometimes the bank's money, and betting on yourself that you can build a profitable business. HODLing Bitcoin is a gamble. You are betting that Bitcoin will continue its path price discovery to six digits, or more.

Gambling is everything there's no really assurance with the outcome of a particular thing we made of course if depends on the situation of the current status if this is demand or not, only risk takers has a higher chance to make a huge wins, but in the games of gambling still there's a chance to win it depends on the capability of the player to analyze the situation to prevent lesser losses. Before managing a huge amount of money the player must know how to manage things and the faith will follow their plan.

Yes that did happen. Back in those days people used to bet their wives too which is like insane.
At least that's not happening these days or may be it is  Huh But this shows how corrupt our minds can be if we over gamble.
So gambling is a responsible thing and it should certainly be in our limits.
It really is insane when that happens to those who are used as an asset to bet against their opponent in gambling. Let's just say that it is in the past that gamblers are willing to bet their wives or even daughters much like the same as a person where their parents are having a deal or something if they have a daughter and the other party have a son then they have to get married. We are lucky that it was in the past where people are what gamblers used to bet. Being a responsible gambler is what a gambler should be and think what will happen to a person when he/she is a gambler with a corrupt mind.

It's mind boggling to see how much gambling has evolved.
And there were some cruel incident attached to the gambling as well. Like barter deal - giving goats and other animals or even the daughters/ women.
The gambling was and is the game which excites the people a lot. There were many ways how it evolved. But it did.
is this really involving in gambling ? animals and even Daughters? in what kind of gambling was this for them to bet their love ones? I am interested in this to understand because indeed there are addictions and hard times in gambling but to use people as bet? that is not a best interest lol.

wow very well said mate , yes gambling will never last if there are no people to play on this because they need players, but people can live without gambling unless they are literal gamblers.

But that's impossible since there are too many gamblers all across the world.
but what you stated is a fact that people and gambling needs each other but gambling needs people more than people needs gambling.

like what you said , there will be always gambler to live , but of course there are someone who believes to be? then yes lets not gamble at all.

Cool, always think it either from European where Venice become the center hub of trading, banking, and plenty of money to be made hence gambling may start from there. Or China because there are so many old gambling games from there, like Fan-Tan for example.
If we look at the history of the dice, it is related to Egypt, and other games like Pai-Gow poker, Tin Kau, and Mah-jongg - belong to chinese ancient.


so this is the one to be blamed why we have our casino houses now? and upgraded to Online casinos ? lol Joke  Grin

Everything starts somewhere and gambling houses started after this house, even though it was closed later but history says it was first gambling house.

While we talk about the history of gambling, I think it would also be interesting to know when the first casino house was established and what was its name.


The first casino house, even though it wasn't called a casino but meets the modern definition its name was The Ridotto, which was established in Venice, Italy, in 1638 by the Great Council of Venice to provide controlled gambling during the carnival season. which was later closed in 1774 because the city administration felt that it was impoverishing the local people.

but kidding aside , its always good to read something like this because if we will only dig for this in internet ? its harder to understand and find which is which.

and what is better in this thread is that we are having a complete trivia about how and when gambling moves over the year.

Well, I'm reading this, it's true that Ridotto was one of the pioneers who really made gambling grow because at that time it was said that they were the only casino that was really organized with a controlled environment and indeed from that it clearly made gambling grow and until now Gambling is still really there and is being maintained.

I believe most of the modern gambling games were based on the gambling games that came out of China, like card games were probably invented in Ancient China. There are other research papers that say that some of them are from Ancient Egypt, which then spread to Spain, Italy, France, then the rest of Europe.
