[QUOTE="Mart1194, post: 7196966, member: 1008253"] “While the concept of 'casino' as we know it today didn't emerge until much later, the roots of gambling can be traced back to early civilizations. In ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, games involving luck were popular, and although they were not called “casinos”, these events bore many similarities to modern gambling. Games such as dice were common among the Romans and were used both for entertainment and to determine the fate of soldiers or even for political decisions. During the Middle Ages, gambling was often linked to festivals and religious events, but it was also a point of controversy. Many governments and religious institutions banned gambling because of concerns about morality and addiction. However, the appeal of gambling hasn't faded, and in various parts of the world, it has continued to thrive in a clandestine manner.” Now, have you ever imagined the direction of the soldiers being defined by the roll of the dice? Including political decisions? That's crazy. [/QUOTE]
