Hello! Rafael 

In my opinion, the period of the contemporary casino. It is truly amazing how once-desolate regions like Las Vegas and Macau have developed into booming entertainment centers focused around gaming. It illustrates the timeless allure of games of chance and how they may influence not only leisure but whole communities and economies.

Well, based on what I read the history of gambling is believed  to have discovered  to the ancient civilizations of China, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. They said that it was very popular in classical Rome and persisted in different forms in other cultures throughout history. During the 19th century, gambling spread throughout the Wild West and was used to finance public projects in the United States. Legal casinos first opened in Nevada in the 20th century, especially in Las Vegas, which quickly rose to prominence as a gambling destination.

Based on my research, the earliest time of when and how people started gambling was mentioned in the first-ever form of gaming that came from Ancient China. Basing from the Chinese book “Book Of Songs,” which refers to a wood drawing, suggesting that the tiles may have become a component of a lottery game.
