Topic: The History Of Gambling. - page 26. (Read 16882 times)
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.
The history of gambling is quite well studied, it seems to me that it is much more interesting to look at it from the perspective of the further evolution of gambling, what awaits humanity in the near future, however, it should be borne in mind that gambling is inherently quite conservative.
and also what can be the future of gambling in more organized and more appealing because gambling nowadays increase its offers and giving new update and trend for gamblers from here and there.its always nice to see sharing of ancient gambling in this thread and we are now more encouraged that we can enjoy gambling .
I had not the slightest idea that the ideas of casinos and games of chance were around for many years.
I did have an idea, as I have been curious about gambling. The OP has made a good summary but if you want more info you can google or Youtube. I particularly like the role mobsters played in the development of Las Vegas.
This is something that is indeed quite interesting but in a case like this there must have been several versions of gambling especially in ancient times and I once read a presentation entitled "Cultural History of Chinese Gambling" which said that gambling in China is indeed old. more than 4,000 years and the first game is liubo where this if I look at the pictures in some of the quests this game is almost similar to chess with 2 players fighting strategy.
As for ancient Egypt, as far as I know, there was once an artifact in the form of a dice made of elephant tusk and there was a game similar to chess called senet CMIIW.
the image you brought forth - is an ancient image, great info shared though! As for ancient Egypt, as far as I know, there was once an artifact in the form of a dice made of elephant tusk and there was a game similar to chess called senet CMIIW.
But the history of gambling is more ancient than that. It goes back to the creation of the humans. There were different ways people gambled. TOday's is most modern form of gambling.
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.

The history of gambling is something started from the initial point which nobody can give the example of history of gambling because it shouldn't people started gambling with the kind of exchange of what I want to another so I can send from my own point of view but the history of gambling can be differently define true their observation and the community you do well so therefore everybody have the opportunity to give it own definition of gambling

Gambling evolution has been a very interested savour whenbthe history is being research on, we could dive into many benefit it has created on our ancestors and still effective till date, lots of gambling games have received remodification in the ways and techniques adooted in playing it, and this present generation will still make it's own history over the coming ones inbthe nearest future, gambling will never cease to exist and be enjoyed.

Yep! God took a huge gamble when he created humans. I wonder if he ever regretted it, given how some of them turned out in the end.

Unique thread among the plethora of gambling strategy threads in this board. Was an interesting read though I knew some of the information from before, but great job organising everything in an easy to understand manner op.
Time has basically taught us that gambling exists in everyone's lives in some form or another though some depend on it way more than the others.

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.
The COVID-19 pandemic also encouraged many regular gamblers to continue their gambling activities to be done online, either through fiat casinos, or the many cryptocurrency casinos available in our community.

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.
I believe if the experience isn't cumbersome and if it's very seamless, it could become one of the more well-liked/preferable ways to go through a casino experience.

I completely agree! Yeah, gambling is much more interesting in the atmosphere of a live game with a real opponent sitting or standing right in front of you.

The fact that gambling is increasingly going online, in my opinion, only harms the very process of their development and only spoils their history, which our colleagues discuss here in the topic.
Definitely online games have increased the number of players by an order of magnitude, but they also changed the atmosphere of the game itself. But no matter how the history of gambling continues, now VR technologies are on the way, but in my opinion, the progress in the development of gambling is going somewhere wrong.
However, it is impossible to stop him, of course.
It is also wise to understand the fact that some of the religious textbooks also involve loads of gambling, for Hindus they have this whole Mahabharata and at one point the kings ' Gambled ' even their wives and ended up loosing her, it's not just concerned with Gambling but with addiction as well. Apparently the guy ' Yudhishthir lost everything and was just left with his wife, that also he Gambled away ', it was a game of dice which was quite famous in ancient India as well, therefore the history of gambling is way older than believed since the Mahabharata was written in the 3rd century BCE.

I did not read studies about it but I think that history of gambling starts when people combined gaming and earning. When they started to play game with intention to earn, it is gambling.Last 2 years we witnessed Play to Earn and do you consider it like gambling but in support of blockchain, NT technologies?
When you play games and depend on random luck, probability to win and earn, it's gambling.

A great thread that immerses in the world history of mankind! This person really did a great job collecting information. It just takes my breath away when I think about what journey humanity has made, even in gambling. And how much is still to come...

I had not the slightest idea that the ideas of casinos and games of chance were around for many years, but I wonder what they bet on if there was no money, it is said that since time immemorial man discovered that gold and precious stones had a very great value, and this could have been the object of many bets, perhaps gold morocotas that are still seen in supposed houses where the ancestors have left those treasures, all these things and myths can come from games of chance in those times, where alcohol also existed.
Sad that there wasn't a big mention about the ancient Rome part. I mean it's much more than just a passing line, we know all about it. Hell even the famous quote of Ceaser "alea aecte est" is literally "the dice are rolled", like let's see what's going to happen. This is why I believe that "alea" as in dice, played a huge role in roman times.
From slaves to lanistas, from generals to "kings" consul, regular people, everyone played dice there. This is why it has been one of the oldest games ever, and literally first gambling crypto ever got as well. "Aleatorium" is the place where it's like a casino, basically a gambling house where you drink and you roll dices.

It is understandable that gambling in ancient Rome isn't highlighted, since the discussion is about history in general. Maybe you can create a new topic where it discusses Ancient Rome's gambling history highlights. If OP has to present the gambling history in full detail then OP might take more than a month to compile them all. But well yeah, we can share historic trivia here to spice up the discussion.
