HISTORY OF GAMING AND CASINO GAMES

Author: birdsteel9

Asking a beginner about the history of gambling and casino games would make them
believe that it was in the 16th century or 1 000 BC. Since I've been doing my
digging I'm able to tell you that gambling dates from the time of Zeus and the
Olympian gods.

According to legend, the world was divided between hell as well as heaven and
the ocean by Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, and Zeus all within a single throw of a
dice. I'm sure you know what you're going to say. This is all a story however,
what is the story behind the excavations of archeological digs that revealed
dice-like forms dating back to 40,000 BC? In the Roman Empire, gambling was also
very popular.

The tale says that the Romans were awed by the many pleasures of life whether it
was dancing, winning and dining, gladiator shows and entertainment via games
that required both luck and the ability. Numerous highly-regarded Roman
politicians were owed gambling debts and were taught to roll the dice in school.


The study of history has revealed that the early Greeks played games of chance
and monopoly games, but later prohibited. The legend says that the Greeks did
not posses the same level of self control as the Romans thus boundaries had to
be established.

There are numerous evidences of gambling primitive like dice were discovered in
China about 2,300 BC and earlier. It is China which actually invented the modern
card games we enjoy today. In truth, the Koreans created the first models of
playing cards, but the Chinese developed them using paper. The cards were
created in a single piece and manually at the time, which meant only the elite
could afford them. This made them extremely desirable to the commoner.

Mesopotamia, Ancient Persia, Egypt and India were also a cradle for games of
chance and it is believed that in these areas is where backgammon draws its
origins from. At first, the game of throwing dice was closely connected to
divination, which is the art of predicting the future with signs created from
runes, stones, bones and pebbles. Then, it became a typical game of luck which
includes throwing dice.


Online Casino Games: The Evolution
The majority of people don't know how much impact the current board and card
games have on history and society. The mystery of Mah-Jong Solitaire during the
Ming Dynasty, Gin Rummy in saloons from the former West and traces of Backgammon
in ancient Mesopotamia are just a few of the countless connections between
contemporary casino games and the favorites of generations throughout history.
The games have evolved from prisons and palaces all over the globe, and have
found themselves online.

Mah-jong

The game was first played by four people in 2000BC in the time it was an
exclusive privilege for Chinese royals. While the game was not widely played in
China for thousands of years, it became very well-known in Western countries.

- in fact after it reached the Chinese masses it only took a few decades to
spread throughout the world. Its balance of luck and skill, and its similarities
to many Western games made it accessible to America at the beginning of the 20th
century. It's a game with high stakes and calculated risks that are very
well-liked today.

Gin Rummy

Gin Rummy was originally derived from one of the many variations of poker in
America during the 18th Century. Whiskey Poker is widely considered the genesis
of Gin Rummy. The rules are the same, and there's even an odd hybrid known as
Gin Poker. In most nations, Gin is the common name used for this popular card
game.

Solitaire

The single-player game of Solitaire is among the most popular games played in
the world. Solitaire, also known as Patience in Europe is played in solitude or
in casinos with a lot of
players. http://johnmalvarez.bloggersdelight.dk/2021/08/26/started-with-online-gambling/ gained
popularity at the beginning of the 19th century and has since become an integral
part of international pop culture.
Napoleon was said to have been an avid Solitaire player. However, some claim
that he also enjoyed playing other French card games at the time.

Backgammon

Sleight variants of backgammon have been documented in numerous cultures for
over 6000 years. The turn based board game has not lost its popularity even
through the successful growth of Chess. Backgammon has proven its value over
time and was first introduced online in 1992.

This intricate game became very popular. Backgammon was a favorite activity for
the working-class throughout Europe and from Rome to the pyramids. Thomas
Jefferson was known to enjoy a game of backgammon while in the American office.
The original record of the game is valid.

Today, the game is still studied. Computer software for domestic use lets you
analyze and compete with other players, and allows you to test your strategies.

Poker

As with the bagpipes and rugby, the origins of Poker are controversial. A number
of nations claim to have invented the great game of poker, however the most
widely accepted version of the tale is that the game was an old French card game
known as Bouillotte and that the name we have today for poker was derived from
the German game called Pochspiel, meaning "to knock" .

Poker was a constant theme in the culture of the American South. Louisiana was
the state that Louisiana was the setting for blues, prohibition and poker - some
of the most important elements of Southern life and an integral element of
American society. Today online Poker is arguably the top played game amongst
Internet players.

Gaming online is the new way to play games... Take part in the games played by
peasants and kings alike. Feel the thrill that played a role in shaping and
degrading empires for thousands of years.
