Traditional gambling style without a casino

[Awaklara]

The other day I was playing in the middle village at night, and saw a group of old people gathered at a night watch post, they were playing cards, I thought they were not gambling, just playing cards, but the longer I was there it turned out that they were gambling, with the losing bet having to give the winner 3 packs of cigarettes, after a while they got bored and raised the bet using money, this is one form of gambling that I have not tried in the real world with the traditional style, I then joined in the game, it seems more exciting in experiences like this.

Such card gambling games are indeed exciting, with small bets but we can enjoy the game with people we know. but I don't like playing like that because there is a possibility that two or more players who participate can compromise to beat other players.
I prefer to bet directly with friends for football matches that are broadcast live on television. we enjoy the match while determining the bet before the match starts. or more interestingly for unprofessional football matches that are held in our area. the more we don't know the quality of the teams competing, the more exciting it is for us.

I have done this but this is such a distant memory as I remember before the 2000-s when Internet and online gambling were not as massive as they are nowadays and we played a game with 4 guys that was called "5-floor" and I have forgotten the rules now but it was one of the most addictive games that all the country was hooked into it in that time.

Of course now it is a different thing as no one plays such traditional game anymore,everybody is focused on online gambling and everyone is also focused to get a lot of money quickly and that is why a lot of addiction lately on gambling world.

It is funny how easy it is to gamble with something valuable and trade it for chances, like chances to make it more and multiply it. Definitely, this has been around for ages, and it’s really interesting to see and watch people have fun at it.

I did try it a couple of times, and it’s fun as well. It’s just a bag of chips—old times, lol.

I am not a fan of this traditional mode of playing cards games, because of it repacusion on some of the gambler, I remember they use to bet with money and even properties, I still won't forget a scenerio that played out one certain time when a card player in this kind of gambling style lost his power bike, infact he rode the bike to the card playing ground around my community and saw some strangers playing the card games and they bet with all manners of they properties, and he staked with his bike and unlucky for him he lost, and at that time it down on him that he has gamble away his precious bike, infact the guy cried that day but still the bike is gone.
This is the reason that I prefer online cryptocurrency gambling more than physical casino because of this kind of incidence where the gambler will be tempted to bet with his properties.

Card games have existed for a very long time, and probably people who play them very often play for "interest."  In our country, it is called so. But if we, visiting online casinos or any offline casino establishments, hope for luck, then in card games, you can often meet scammers. Cheaters remember the entire layout of the cards of their opponents very well and also resort to various deceptions that normal people cannot notice during the game, very often leaving their opponents practically naked. People play for everything that can be bet, not only for money but meeting such cheaters, they still end up losing.

That's a harsh reality and a minus to this type of "traditional" gambling. And usually people, of course, even wouldn't see it coming for them.

This reminds me of my high school days. We use Whot, Dice, Pen or Pencil and many other things to gamble. But ever since I have been gambling on a casino, I do not gamble with people again. Although, I still play Whot and Dice games with people but not to the point of using them to gamble.

Looks quite familiar, here we call the game as "remi" and it can be both paid with money and without money (for fun) and we use point system (as shown on your image in the paper).
As I believe that we are from the same country and I also believe that it is the game I call with remi, for sure I have played it many times in my village both with real money and without money.
This is one of the most played card games in the area where I live, aside that there are also other type of cards game such as domino and chinesse card (ceki).
This gambling was like a traditional games from my grand-grand father era IIRC, and it is still being played until now although the number of players is decreased a lot due to the fact that gambling is illegal.

20 years ago in my country it was very common to see people sitting down playing cards where they put money in, the winner took all the money, but as time went by the government of my country put laws on gambling, encouraging people to play on websites or physical casinos so that people could have fun without committing a crime. And people stopped playing cards where they put money in and started to play in the appropriate places and allowed by the government of my country. When I go out on the street I see people from my country entering the offices of the betting houses in my country, I see them entering the physical casinos and I see them talking about the online casinos they use.

I also see people sitting down playing on their phones. probably the people of my country listened to the recommendations of my country's government because in the past when they played cards or football and bet money, they got into big fights because the loser didn't accept that he lost and since there was no one neutral to resolve the conflict in a friendly way, things became very violent and ended in injuries and arrests. I used to play with my friends and bet money, but I also stopped doing that 15 years ago because I saw that it always ended in fights.

Referring to the screenshot you shared, actually very familiar with this type of game. I even forgot the last time I played it with friends or neighbors, not infrequently we play types like rummy games when there is a traditional celebration event. interesting, this reminds me of the past with traditional gambling and the warmth of family ties that are woven in the middle of the community environment. referring to the title of this thread, for me personally there is a different pleasure between traditional gambling and Casino-style gambling in this era. I think, many of the community have experience between traditional gambling, land-based casinos and online casinos that are currently being played. all have differences between one and another, but what is certain is that gambling will always involve money in it. a little difference from my experience, traditional games or traditional gambling are often played among people we know, we can even play it while laughing and enjoying the atmosphere. in land-based casinos we can enjoy gambling more with a different atmosphere, plus supported by facilities that pamper every visitor. online casinos, are currently more popular because they are easier for us to play. no need to bother to gather gamblers, or visit land-based casinos, we can access it whenever we want according to our free time. btw, traditional gambling games are currently rarely found or even played. the reason is none other than because of work activities and also family, moreover online casinos are much more private for us to play and enjoy.

Social aspects of gambling is what made gambling famous in the first place. Sitting with your friends and looking over cards with great interest, looking to beat your friends in good spirits and joke with them, talk, laugh. It's great.

If this was possible to be replicated online then online casinos would make big bucks, because games like poker and blackjack tables are so fun to sit besides others if they're good sports too. But online poker and card game tables are very faceless and emotionless. In many poker tables now you can't even type in the chat freely... So really it's like child locked games oddly enough. I guess this way it's cheaper for casinos to run the games but the people that like the social aspect have it much worse and are likely to never play these games online.

So for me also in-person card games have many advantages and if given the chance I would prefer them.

Tried it a lot during childhood since backyard gambling that time is still not illegal in my country. Gambling is done casually on every houses in my neighborhood and we even have a bingo playing outdoor exposed to the public so everyone will join.

The experience is much entertaining since you are risking money against other players. Even with just small money involved you will be on adrenaline since I value my moeny that time since I don’t have source of income rather than my parents wallet.

I still preferred the traditional when it comes to gambling with pure entertainment because there’s a companionship involved on traditional gambling style which you can’t on playing online gambling games.

This type of homemade party type gambling is very common in the Asian subcontinent and there are often fixed groups who are running this game with their money. The booze and the smokes are the common dishes of the players and almost always money is involved.

That money is often not clearly mentioned and they will bet with just their words, that so much so will be given to you later on. Hence a a newbie never go to these parties and join their games.

They are often played by unemployed men living on their wives' money and most of the times are dead drunk.

I was very happy to see a good response and it turns out that there are a lot of people who are nostalgic about the game, although indeed in street games like this if the stakes are bigger it will make a bad impact, let alone cheating, things like this will be a big conflict between them.

Yes, it's called "remi", we are from the same country, and it is very familiar in our country, I think all generations must have seen or played it in Tongkrongan, Ronda posts, or old men's gathering places.

[Hispo]

Sure, I have seen things like these happening, specially when I used to visit my grandmother house by the coast. All afternoons there was a little meeting, in which people who wanted to play cards gathered and started to wager actually cash.
They played traditional games from this country, using Spanish themes cards.
The thing which caught my attention the most if how they all started to smoke cigarettes as soon as they started to gamble and play cards, from those experiences I have had with gamblers at my grandmother's house, I have come to the conclusion there is some directly correlation between people who gamble and at the same time, those who consider themselves to the active smokers.

Anyways, sometimes engaging in this kind of games without going to a fancy casino can be a pleasing experience, as long as the guests are not drinking excessively and Lossing control over their actions...

That's reality, we often see gambling like this in rural areas on the Asian continent and the average unemployed player needs entertainment when they gather somewhere, initially they play to bet on goods or provide a challenge for the loser but they need a challenge to win so they will bet using money.

They are often played by unemployed men living on their wives' money and most of the times are dead drunk.

Lol, they even cheat their wives asking for money to buy coffee and cigarettes but they use the money to gamble, this kind of behavior is not appropriate to imitate this kind of gambler, we must gamble with our own income and do not involve other people's finances in gambling and avoid using borrowed money to gamble .

[SUPERSAIAN]

Yes, I have been to such an environment in the village but I have not had the opportunity to experience it. The card games they play definitely vary depending on the region. If you just want to play games and the people around you are willing, you can always create the right environment. But in my opinion, if I am going to have a gambling experience outside, I would go to the casino to get good service as well as gambling.

A lots of time and interesting thing is I have done this few hours ago in the evening with my friends. But the game was different that was the luddo here we did bet on 4 cigarettes I know it's harms to our health but we did it occasionally when we the friends get meet up together. And the picture you have mention on your topic the game we called Tāsa khēlā and we do also these kinds of betting to each other with luddo , chess game and many others of our local games and these are not only fact about the gambling these are the nostalgic things we have done or do with our firends.

[darkangel11]

I've gambled this way myself. This is how I started playing and how I learned to play cards. At first we'd play basic games for fun then gradually try blackjack and finally traditional poker and texas holdem.
As kids we'd play using matchsticks, then ventured into real money territory, first with small coins, then bills, finally we had real casino chips to feel like the real thing. The only difference was that we'd divide chips equally between players and each of us would put money on the table that would go to the winner at the end of the game. It's a very nice way of spending time with your friends.

I've seen this type of local gambling so many times in my neighborhood. Older people prefer playing games with their friends and placing bets on them. I still remember growing up when I and my friends would bet on cards or the wellkown ludo games. Sometimes to avoid it turning into a fight at the end we give our bets to someone who doesn't take part in the game till we get the winner for each rounds. The games goes on and on and the wins keeps cycling till a winner is emerged. So yes, this a quite an old gambling amongst so many people. The fun in traditional gambling is that you get to see the bet as you play and already target your wins or losses.
