Gambling in Europe
Long before the amazing success of online casinos, casino was a household name in Europe. Casinos were always popular throughout Europe. For many decades the European royalty enjoyed a whole range of casino gambling games and this is the reason the Europeans consider gambling as a respected pastime. Actually many of our favorite casino games were invented and bred in Europe. Most people don’t even know that poker, bingo, blackjack and the roulette, among many other games, were invented in different European countries. The word casino itself originated from an Italian term for a small villa. In ancient Italy the word casino was associated with small villas that hosted many different types of entertainment. In the early Italian casinos one could find any type of entertainment he liked – theater, music, gourmet cuisine and gambling.
Italy is also the first country that endorsed a national lottery. The Italian national lottery later developed into what we know today as bingo and can play it in any modern casino. Poker has developed from various French and German games and blackjack has developed from the French 21. It is safe to claim that Europe is the birthplace of the modern casino gambling. Although there are gambling games which weren't started in Europe, most of the casino games today are from European roots.
