Welcome to gambling games.
The Ancient Greek and Egyptian civilisations developed Dice to make random decisions and a game similar to Backgammon some 5,000 years ago. Its been a wild time since then.

Essentially you can gamble, bet or wager on the outcome of anything. Some games however, have been developed for the express purpose of using the thrill and risk of gambling Curious Gambler

as a constant theme. Some have lost their original parlour game status and drifted inevitably into the clutches of the gamblers. Others are just there to have money thrown at them.

Gambling games are fun and serious things. The extra edge that money adds to a game is a special feeling that is difficult to match. It is also difficult for many people to control the gambling instinct. Still more common is the in-built reserve of people that makes it impossible for them to grasp the risks and how small or large they can be. For them it is a case of being afraid of the unknown.

Poker is currently the most popular form of gambling game in the world but fashions shift like sand. Richard the Lion-Heart (Cœur de Lion), during Third Crusade (1189-1192 C.E.), outlawed the playing of backgammon amongst men below the rank of knight. The effect of the game was such that crusaders lost their future bounty whilst gambling and fled the army as their was no longer any point risking their lives.

He didn’t outlaw a nice game of online blackjack, though. A really nice game loved by gamblers all over the world!
