The precise origin of Casinos is unknown, but it has been in existence since ancient times in every society. The word Casino is of Italian origin, and its root Casa means house, the word casino was referred to as a villa, a summerhouse or a social club where people used to gather to have drinks, food and play together. The first gambling house in Europe was established in Venice, Italy, in 1638 during the carnival season to provide controlled gambling and it was called the ‘Ridotto’. Later the Casinos were included in public buildings where pleasurable activities took place and they would become the centre of attraction. Casinos were built near or often combined with hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise ships, retail shopping and other places of tourist attractions because it lures a lot of tourists. 

The gambling establishments in America were known as ‘Saloons’, and Saloons were the centre of social gatherings as people would find people to talk to, drink with and gamble with. Four major cities of America namely New Orleans, Chicago, San Fransico and St.Louis gave importance to the creation of Saloons, and in 1931 USA legalized gambling throughout the state of Nevada, which gave birth to the Casino City of the World known as Las Vegas.
