The pattern of gambling across different cultures and nations invites speculation and attention. Gambling is a universal thing – a characteristic of human beings biped all the world over. Gambling is as old as humanity, so it’s impossible to find out its place of origin. Gambling is one of the integral parts of Aryan culture. Gambling holds an important role in the Puranic and historical stories. It was the main reason behind the Kurukshetra war between Pandavas and Kauravas because Pandavas lost the game of dice. Gambling has been an interest to Greeks too. Gambling games were widely used in ancient Greece. Dice games and other games based on luck factor have always been played by different Greek groups. The Roman attitude to games and entertainment is quite moralistic. Though gambling was illegal in ancient Rome, but people used to play it for their entertainment. Romans used to believe in the God of Fortune. Her symbol “the wheel of Fortune” is used in today’s Roulette game. People of every culture and status are mad for gambling. Even in present age, people enjoy gambling as much as they enjoy sumptuousness and life itself. https://www.casinofloor.com/en/?btag=a_779b_1059
