^^ 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.

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?
Egypt is not the only origin of gambling. Because the ancient people were able to leave various traces related to gambling, different races have been around since the old stone age.  Even Mesopotamia which is now part of Iraq and Kuwait and other neighboring countries. Spain and China have their types of gambling. And there are many others, also based on the cultures and traditions that have taken place as the evolution of each object and event takes place.
I have read that the earliest time when gambling started goes back to the Ancient China. It is mentioned in Books of song.
They have referred it to the wood drawing and that the tiles along refers to the dics. You can check that online too.
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.
Yes - different historian have mentioned it in their way - also I read about books of song.
It is not know if the china is the origin of gambling or India - but the incidents of the gambling are mentioned in all the religious books including Quran and bible too

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

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.. . .

The historical record of gambling is around 3000 BC found in Mesopotamia while the oldest record in Egypt was the Senet or Game of the Passing and the oldest known representation of Senet is in the painting of the tomb of Hesy way back in 2686[1] the game might be earlier than that but there is no evidence found that gambling exist in Egypt earlier than 3000 BC.

I feel gambling has lost much from its social aspect together with the digitalization of games & online casinos. I remember playing an online game called 'governor of poker' and I don't think any online game with whatever graphics might beat the atmosphere of playing a poker game in the cozy atmosphere of a saloon in a rustic town.

I'm curious what will VR bring to the gambling world. That could bring much of the social aspect back, but the idea of interacting with others through a virtual interface is not that appealing to them tbh.
There are gambling sites which has a forum and a global chat function. By these, it is still possible to socialize with other gamblers. It's hard to get used to this at first if you are used to the real life casinos but what can we do? We have hit by a pandemic last time which force the establishments including the casinos to close down for a while but as soon as situation returns to normal, you can always go back playing the old way again.

VR and metaverse is an upgrade to the existing feature of a casino. It allows you to experience a real life casino but in the comfort of your own home, but then again these things aren't still going to be enough for those who are into old school.

Quite frankly, it is very likely that gambling is as old as life itself.
Truly speaking looking at the history Gambling is indeed an Ancient time something.

For humans, no difference... life is a gamble.
I can't imagine seeing that gambling has been in existence dated back 200BC this is really astonishing to me. Too It will be very interesting to know the kind of gambling system which existed then, i.e being the format they used,
Therefore I would argue that same method of gambling we have today is still the same method of gambling that existed before as of (200BC) No, there must have been series of evolution in gambling that might have taken place as they said change is constant.

If we go through the history then we can find that, in Hinduism, gambling started much before the Mahabharat which started around 3139 BC.
In fact, gambling had a major role in the cause of the great war. So we can say that gambling has it's roots at ancestral level.
It's mind boggling to see how much gambling has evolved.

Gambling needs to get in sync with the improvement of technology.  Since gambling is another kind of business, there are companies that do R&D, improvements, and developments to get ahead of the gambling business competition.  As a result, gambling undergoes lots of evolutions and improvements depending on the available technology to date.


Evolution will keep happening in every aspect of life whether it be gambling, technology, economy or life.
In the current generation, gambling has evolved so much that people can gamble from wherever they are.
The ease of convenience to gamble from our computers and mobile phones have opened up a new a gateway for everyone.
In addition to that cryptocurrency has boosted this evolution in a way that people from across the globe can gamble with each other instantly.
We can't imagine how much more it will evolve.

According to the Wikipedia source the evolution of gambling dates back to the paleolithic period, which is the stone age. This means even before the start of writing the history. Further Mesopotamians used six sided dice back in 3000 BCE (Before the Common Era). Further came the China were betting on fighting animals were done.

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.

There are even worst things than the example you have given.  In ancient Rome, gladiator fights are also associated with gambling.  It is a fight to the death depending on the decision of the editor.  Editor is the person in charge of the event, he maybe senator, emperor or another politico.[1]

That is correct - gambling is a business
and everyone deals with it in their way. However there traces go back to ancient time. In hinduism there are clear signs of gambling in remote past.

In this case, I'm just adding to what the OP said, as for the problem with the picture, it's just a picture of the gambling civilization in China, because from some research I've read about the gambling civilization in China, it's proven by artifacts found there.
Regardless of anything, it is quite clear that in fact we live also in the category of gambling, as for ancient and modern problems, I think when I say that when the stone age is still included in history.
Even the history of gambling is going back to ancient time. The gambling kept changing its form and color. And now people have adopted the most modern and convenient way of gambling. Don't know how it would take its form in coming days.
Isn't that obvious because everything also follows the times, because anything that doesn't keep up with the times and is still stuck in the same place will obviously be left behind and will get worse later.
as well as gambling, now the era of technology has advanced what would happen if gambling still relies on ancient things there. Of course, with the times and with the advancement of technology, the most up-to-date thing is the most popular thing.

Egypt has been the center of civilization over the years gambling has been involved in many dimensions, from just betting on wrestling and pit fights to the advanced gaming are witnessingin casinos today, but above all slot is the best among all as it contains less risk.
I think the risk remains the same or even more dire because they used to play slots face to face so the stakes would probably be very different. Maybe there used to be someone who risked their lives for the stakes. But that all started to change and there started to be clear rules among gamblers that we might not see such a bet. The history of gambling will continue to go hand in hand with the advancement of technology and perhaps in the future, gambling will come differently.

The metaverse gambling will really bring a lot of things in the new generations but can only be seen online unlike the old history where there are tangible hardware like the ancient dice and that chess like board which is so bizarre.  But the hardware for the metaverse experience will likely change their mind, it will be appealing when they wear the gadget and feel like they are in the real world. The VR goggles alone is already making me scared after trying.

What is advantageous about the VR gambling will make anyone participate whenever they want. Maybe you as an individual can even bet for your own character to fight in the UFC or first person shooting  game.
