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.
let them be because they are the one who grows the gambling as Las Vegas is the place where you wanted to gamble in social ways.
