Early Days Of The Casino
10 October 2008The earliest casino probably dates back to 1638, when the first known example was opened in Venice in Italy. These types of establishments were offshoots of the earlier casinò, which had already existed in the country for quite some time.
Over the next few centuries, the casino gradually spread throughout, Italy making its way to other countries as well until by the 19th century, the word “casino� had come to mean public buildings were other non-gambling activities were enjoyed as well. Often featuring sports as well as a host of other entertainment activities, an example of this type of establishment can be found today in Newport, Rhode Island in the United States and now online with online casinos.
