The History Of Gambling.

[serjent05]

Gambling became legal in many countries because the government realized that they are wasting a possible huge income earner for their country.  Rather than gangs and syndicate taking advantage of gambling profit, they then decided to adopt gambling as a legal industry.

Well, i think so you need to explain your point of view in more words as i cant see a good reason for the gambling to be legal for the government as gambling is just a recycle of money no service or product is being produced so thats not gonna help in the economic cycle. Gambling is legal in some of the countries as they want to keep gambling in control so thats a good reason i can see behind it.

It doesn't need thousands of words to explain why the government legalized gambling.  You can just look at the bolded part and that says it all.  Are you sure there is no service produced in the gambling industry?  It is a huge business, it won't be booming if there is no demand for its services.  When there is demand for its services then 100% there are services produced in gambling  .  Aside from that it also creates jobs in a wide range of expertise.

This is correct gambling is legal in many countries - even in the countries where it is illegal people find ways to gamble
So gambling is very attractive to people. And that goes back to long long time. .

Gambling does exist in different forms before it actually becomes a business. People used to play gambling at individual levels however as the technology evolved, gambling become a proper business and thus it was promoted to the public as a means to get quick income without much effort however the reality is otherwise.
When internet was invented, online gambling was also introduced and now everyone can access gambling platforms on their laptops and phones.

I agree with most of what you are saying however there is a single point with which I would have to disagree. Calling gambling a business, or rather, a proper business is rather a long shot. It's always been half a scam due to its widely unregulated and unchecked nature. That has not really changed with today's technology. In fact, the internet may contributed to this wild side of gambling

Well the government acknowledge gambling as a business, so I don't think that we can argue with that.  Just because many casinos are scamming people it isn't a proper business anymore?  It does meet the requirements to be called a business, a commerce and an industry.  Besides, to be able to operate a legitimate gambling casino needs a lot of documentation and certification to be approved by the government.  Gambling had been a business a very long time ago.  it might not be a proper business in the eye of the conservative, but technically it is a proper business acknowledge by the authority.

There's no doubt about this, alot of people have make their way through in gambling and some have extremely gone extreme out of the radar by loosing when playing gambling games, and is of real assurance that the operators of many of these gambling sites have also make some good profit out of gambling offers and services

When internet was invented, online gambling was also introduced and now everyone can access gambling platforms on their laptops and phones.

Everyone of us is benefiting from the advancement of technology in gambling and this has truly given us access to undeniable benefits to gamble without any barriers, both physical and online gambling are good derivatives to gamblers satisfaction.

Very good article. Thank you for sharing. Even though I'm crazy about gambling and play almost daily, I never thought about how they came. It was very interesting for me to read about it. Interestingly, before there was no gambling online, everything was on vintage gaming machines (which look simply wonderful). Now, in 2021 Online Gambling has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry with thousands of online casinos available. Now practically every person plays gambling games online. Even I play Slot online, and I love to do it. So interesting to analyze these steps.

Here is another gambling history note.  In the year 1978, May of 26 (Memorial Day weekend) the first casino open in Atlantic City.  It was reported that players waited over two hours in line just to get inside.[1]

this is a very interesting fact,
people waiting in line must be very curious about what is really in the casino, I can't imagine the euphoria that happened in the world's first casino.

Even though it was the very first casino, which may have contributed towards the enthusiasm and excitement of the whole situation, I doubt that the people did not understand the risks of gambling as gambling itself was definitely not a new concept. People just just gambled in private.

The crowd was probably just thrilled at the idea of official gambling and something new. Gambling may have not quite been legal yet, at that point.

I imagine its like when weed got legalized.

Once a time gambling was centered around a large social event. Gambling house were made temporarily in places where there was a lot of crowd. But later on it became very popular with the people and occasionally gambling was organized. At that moment it starts to expand massively and settles well. Then it is also get legalized. And whenever gambling is conducted over the internet, it creates a world wide frenzy. Nowadays, people are gambling comfortably from their home.

History of gambling goes back to the ancient times.
Even in religious books there is so much references of the gambling - Hindu and chinese are very fond of gambling and they are good in it too.

For me I think there are different history of gambling which depends on era and region.
When you look at the asia history, you will see that it's quest different from the European gambling history and that of Egypt which is africa.
Difference regions with different history but looking at era and the type of gambling can make it different.

Agree with this!

The origin of particular games or types will really be basing up on different countries on where it do starts or being invested or discovered but speaking in overall gambling origin or existence then
i dont really believe about those informations that we do have in internet or do able to read.If you do really think up broadly then determining the origin is something impossible
but as time passing by which people do really create and mold up some ideas and this is what we do see on this present time in regarding with these changes
and stuffs.

anything from ancient Egypt is really old. if they have relics from that era, they really are in the forefront of the civilization which would led you to think what sort of games do they have besides the unusual dice.

Chinese also have the long history, the country had been around for thousands of years and invented unique devices, they've come up unique games only known to be their identity like the Mahjong or the Chinese checker.

It is possible to see relics and usage of new age technology in the past on different locations were research is going on to find the ancient civilization. However in very few places relics on gambling were found. This gives them they are the one to practice gambling in the past. Maybe we can get new evidence in the future as research around the world is unstoppable.

China being a country with more traditional practices have gambling along with their cultural activities. This makes China on the history of gambling and it is also the key player for the modern age gambling.

Why we have to leave gambling at the end where we take it as for fun only ! I think there is nothing wrong when we take its only for entertainment purpose except when a person going to addicted on it . I think the stealing of happiness and health that you speak of will only happen to gamblers who cannot control themselves.

Every addiction starts with the purpose of getting entertained or having good times. If you have self-control over it then there is no problem but when you lose that self-control problem arises. In that situation, it is better to seek professional help and leave gambling. Most gamblers do not have self-control and there have been many stories that have been shared here.

Most of the addiction starts with satisfaction and well that's true the reason why people keep playing gambling is that there's a chance they get already a good profit, still it is an ideal thing if they made that gambling entertainment as for only seeking fun we know how many lives getting addicted to play and lose their assets. This is the reason why there's a tag of gambling moderately and manage the risk you can get it on.

Whatever we say - one thing is for sure - we all have to leave gambling at the end for a better and more peaceful mind.
Gambling is fun for the time being.. but it does not bring in much good. Its better to live within one mean and cut all the things with steal away the peace of mind and good health

Actually that is what we should do but unfortunately, not many of us can really leave gambling forever. Some of us still go back to gambling and play our favorite games, although some don't often gamble anymore.

As long as we can use gambling properly, I believe we will be fine and can enjoy our time playing gambling. It all depends on how well we can carry ourselves when playing gambling so as not to cause bad consequences for ourselves.

I beg to disagree. Anyone can gamble responsibly. If only people won't abuse it and won't be so much indulged with it, there would be no problem. After all, too much of everything is harmful. Anything must be done with balance and limitations. If you know it to yourself that you do not really possess the self-restraint needed in order to gamble in smooth sailing manner, then you should reconsider entering gambling industry. Otherwise, you'll just dig your own grave. Because one can suffer so much if they can't even control themselves and handle their emotions and urge.

Being accountable of your actions should be your priority the moment you start gambling because no one would look after you except yourself. No one should be blamed if ever things don't go onto your favor because we always have the final say and we are to decide what actions we will take.

That is why Gambling business is one of the most stablished one mate, they are even earning big in pandemic when most are closing ?online business boomed and now gains more player than what they have before covid 19 arrived.

in the end? whatever we say here? still one thing that represent reality and that is losing is what awaits us in gambling .

It's okay if you don't agree because maybe you are a responsible gambler. But many gamblers out there lose their responsibilities in playing gambling which will upset the balance. I agree that self-control is so necessary for gambling that it will not interfere with what we have made to limit ourselves in gambling.

It is clear that having a responsibility can help us prevent big losses while playing gambling and also prevent the gambling addiction that has happened to many gamblers. By being responsible for playing gambling, we will not cross the boundaries that we make so that we can enjoy gambling.

That is why Gambling business is one of the most stablished one mate, they are even earning big in pandemic when most are closing ?online business boomed and now gains more player than what they have before covid 19 arrived.

The COVID-19 pandemic provides online business opportunities to boom, and online gambling is no exception. And now, online gambling is becoming a trend among gamblers because they can gamble wherever they want.

in the end? whatever we say here? still one thing that represent reality and that is losing is what awaits us in gambling .

Indeed, defeat is very painful for us, but we will be okay if we don't use a lot of money and can limit ourselves to big losses. It depends on how we can do it but some gamblers use big money and if they lose they can accept it. Accepting whatever happens after we finish gambling is something we have to do so we don't get stressed.

What you're saying is completely true but what happens is that in this day and age people are encouraged to not take responsibility for their actions and they are always looking for excuses to try to justify their behavior, and obviously gambling is one of those activities in which we see this over and over again, how many times we have seen people complaining about losing their money to the casinos and how casinos should invent a system of self exclusion that worked across all platforms so they could not gamble in any casino if they self excluded themselves from one, but this is nothing but a dream, if they want to stop gambling then they need to take responsibility and accept that they have drove themselves into a very difficult position and the only way they can get out off it is by taking the first step of admitting that everything is their fault.

[EarnOnVictor]

I read what you have written here and commend your research about them before putting them together. As much as I want to believe some points there, I still have the reservation that no one could know when gambling started really, thanks that you added a similar clause too. We can only get to read what some people want us to read about this, while the main truth might never be revealed before of lack of documentation at that time. Gambling would have started shortly after the first human life on the planet earth.

If we should do trace the history of gambling I don't think that many of us here will I get a vital point of how company started. Gambling is an ancient something that started funny the ancient time so we cannot rest the history because when it is started there will be no there was no record to document the beginning of gambling so that is my own suggestion

I just wondered is there any need to know about the gambling history or are gamblers really interested to know about it ? I don't think gamblers care about the gambling history. They only care to know about the trusted and good gambling sites where they can play and  most importantly they care to make money from gambling.
This is usually the motive of most gamblers and none are aware of how gambling started and all such stuff.
