The casino thing is a recent experience in gambling. It used to be the old traditional way with people gathering around to play cards or other traditional games at their leisure time. Any gambler who's as old as 40 years would possibility had played one of such games in their neighbourhood because those games used to be the in-thing in the 1980s/90s. We still find them till date in remote places without much exposure to the internet or civilization.

I enjoyed playing Whot. Ludo was (is) a bore for me. My best was draughts. This day, casinos have made gambling easier and closer home to such a point that one can indulge in them without leaving the comfort of one's home. Without the internet, the world would still be groping in the dark.
