In its beginnings, games of chance were carried out in the middle of the street and without government regulations or permits that maintained order in this practice. Later, they went on to clandestine and illegal places, but over the years everything changed and today you can enjoy incredible evenings in places full of luxury and with all the comforts.

Discover the origin of the casino
Although it is known that gambling was prevalent in the Chinese and Egyptian civilizations, it was not until 1638 that the first casino in history was opened. This event took place in the Italian city of Venice.
Casinos did not emerge until the beginning of the 19th century, a time when the construction of these buildings had a significant boom in Europe. Multiple cities began to build colossal structures for the most elite players to come to them. The truth is that some of those buildings were so majestic that they looked like palaces.
Las Vegas, a landmark
Gambling was prohibited in the state of Nevada between 1910 and 1931, anyone who wanted gamble could do so in one of the speakeasies located in Las Vegas.
As the popularity of casinos grew, gambling was legalized, but by that time the city was already the benchmark for casino games. It is worth mentioning that the first leisure tourist complex in Las Vegas was built in 1941 and that this city began to gain more popularity since the end of World War II.
