In addition to the well-known types of casino gambling, there are those that cannot be classified as generally accepted - exotic. When you mention this phrase, the first thing that comes to mind is something unusual, originally from the Asian region. But as a rule, the most exotic gambling comes from developed countries.

Exotic gambling is not known to a wide audience. Some of them are considered illegal. But the danger of being caught only adds to the adrenaline.

So what exactly is exotic gambling? What types of such exotic can be found in different countries?

Race

One of the most ancient gambling games is a bet or tote on the winner of a race. People love to argue about who gets to the finish line first. If you are bored at the racetrack or horse racing, look out for these types of races that accept cash bets.

Kyōtei

Although the Japanese are considered perhaps the most gambling nation in the world, gambling is generally banned in the Land of the Rising Sun. There are only a few exceptions, one of which is Kyotei. These are high-speed motor boat races, held on artificial oval-shaped lakes with a length of 600 m.

Approximately one in ten speedboat pilots is a woman. Therefore, Kyotei is the only sport of this level in which women compete on an equal footing with men. Although the racing rules give them a significant head start - the minimum allowable weight for a male pilot is 50 kg, and for women only 47 kg. For high-speed boats with super-powerful motors, these three kilograms of weight play a significant role.

Cockroach racing

It is difficult to say which sport is older - horse racing or cockroach racing. But you can determine exactly where there is more excitement and unpredictability. Insects are almost impossible to train, so it is almost impossible to grow a favorite cockroach.

This game is popular all over the world, but Australians love it the most, they even host official championships that are televised. Germany is in second place, and the United States is in third. Of course, insect races are also arranged in the third world countries of Asia and Africa, but the amounts of bets and the turnover of this market are so small that they can only be compared with one small cockroach club in Australia.

The most prized are the large cockroaches of the Gromphadorhina breed (Madagascar hissing). For an adult female of this species in a pet store in Berlin, they can ask for up to € 100. There are three main types of cockroach racing rules.

Unlimited running

Insects themselves choose how and where to run. To equalize distances in all directions, cockroaches are released in the center of the circle. The first insect to get out of this circle wins. Sometimes cockroach owners are allowed to urge their pets with sticks or other means. The only condition is not to crush rival cockroaches. This particular type is most popular in Australian clubs.

Running on tracks

Cockroaches are put on straight tracks, along which they must run to the finish line in a straight line. For insects, running in a straight line is unnatural, they strive to go outside the path or turn back. These rules are most popular in the USA and Germany, especially in underground clubs. The first large cockroach track races were organized by students of the Faculty of Etymology at Loyola University in Maryland.

Moving loads

Carts with a load are tied to cockroaches or they are harnessed to miniature harnesses, forcing them to pull a load, the weight of which may exceed the weight of the insect itself. Similar competitions in the United States are often held at children's parties.

Dog racing

It would be more correct to call this type of gambling a greyhound race, because in the vast majority of cases representatives of this particular breed compete. The first officially registered dog races took place in Hendon, England, in 1876. Since then, this entertainment has spread all over the world and took the second place in popularity among bettors, after equestrian sports.

The greatest surge in popularity occurred after World War II, with 34 million viewers registered in the United States in 1946 making a bet. Legislators have equated greyhound racing with equestrian sport, so dog betting has not been subject to numerous prohibitive laws.

Greyhound racing is very popular in Australia, each province of this country has one or more specialized sports associations and government regulators. New Zealand is not far behind its neighbor - up to 700 greyhounds are taken out there every year to participate in races, and the volume of the betting industry is estimated at 75 million New Zealand dollars. In the UK, this figure is even higher - £ 75 million. In the US, the popularity of dog racing is now going through hard times - every year the industry reports on a decrease in rates and profits.

Nowadays, animal defenders are very active against dog racing - after all, a greyhound can only go on a track at the age of 4 to 6 years. Upon reaching this age, the owners leave the champions only for breeding.

Fights

What could be more interesting than a good race? Only an intense battle in which the participants fight for the right to stay alive. Of course, in our time, killing in the ring is prohibited in all countries of the world, therefore, fights in which animals take part, not people, are widespread.

Cock-fights

Back in the days of the Roman Empire, this type of gambling became widespread. Gladiators rarely fought, and not everyone could get into the amphitheater. And it was possible to conduct fights between birds anywhere and watch this spectacle, and all social strata of the population could make bets. And the earliest mentions of betting on roosters date back to 4000 BC. e. - they were made in ancient Persia and India.

There are two types of cockfighting - with and without the use of additional weapons. In the first case, the birds are dressed with sharpened steel spurs, with which they kill their opponents much faster. The rules govern the length of these spurs. In some states in India, cock owners sharpen the bird's natural bone spur to a sharpness that can be compared to a knife blade.

Cockfighting is popular all over the world, especially in Central and South America. Even in communist Cuba, such competitions are held in the cold season - from November to April. In Mexico, fights are so popular that they even take place in large concert halls.

Cock-fighting is no less widespread in Asia. Even in Muslim Pakistan, where gambling is prohibited not only by the state law of 1977, but also by the Koran, cockfighting attracts thousands of spectators. The policemen also come to look at them and, according to the unspoken rule, “do not notice” the process of accepting bets.

In most countries, cockfighting is completely or partially prohibited. In the United States last year, Barack Obama signed the Farmers' Act, which, among other things, completely banned the organization of animal fighting. Thus, he placed a large sector of the gambling market in the hands of Latin American gangs.

Dog fights

Unlike cock fights, dog fights are not so popular, although they are no less spectacular and interesting. It should be noted that most fighting dog breeds do not inflict mortal wounds on each other during combat. Their fights are more like boxing than gladiator fights. For males, it is more important to suppress the opponent morally, and not to tear to shreds. Only a few breeds of dogs are specially bred and trained to fight to the death, but such fights are rather the exception to the rule.

The first mentions of dog fights date back to 1300 BC, in amphitheaters dogs fought alongside gladiators - both against each other and against people or other species of animals. It was the Romans who brought the first large dog breeds to the territory of modern Great Britain. Do you know these Englishmen - they will turn anything into gambling.

Dogfights take place all over the globe, from Russia to South Africa and Japan to Brazil, but they have never developed into a major industry. In most countries, this fun is almost exclusively held among dog owners - they are both spectators and participants in the competition, they also place bets by making bets with each other.

Almost everywhere, dog fights are prohibited, if not by gambling legislation, then by regulatory legal acts aimed at protecting animal rights.

In the United States, dog fighting has become a favorite pastime for African American gangs. Among black gangsters, it has become a rule of good form to own a large pit bull, as well as to wear a heavy gold chain over clothing.

Fighting crickets

The Chinese went farthest in the development of fighting between animals. They created the cricket fighting industry. Insects reproduce very quickly, so breeders can breed fighting breeds. This bloody sport appeared over 1000 years ago, during the Tang imperial dynasty.

Nowadays, cricket fights are held in almost every hotel in Macau - the only official gambling zone in the PRC. In this city there is even a museum dedicated to this type of gambling entertainment. Each visitor is invited to place a bet on the outcome of the fight, the amounts reach 1000 patakas ($ 125 - ed.).

Although there is an official sports association for cricket fighting in China, under the auspices of which national championships are held, betting is officially banned. Therefore, there is a huge illegal industry in the country, the volume of which is estimated by experts in Shanghai alone at $ 63 million.

Although the fighting of crickets is considered a "bloody" sport, insects rarely inflict even minor injuries on each other. To anger the male, the owner of the insect hits him with a small stick or shakes the container in which the fighter is located before entering the ring. The loser is the cricket that is the first to start running away or to avoid aggressive actions towards the opponent.

Hog-dog rodeo

If in ancient times fights between different types of animals were very popular, then only a few types of such competitions have survived to our time. The most famous of them is Hog-dog rodeo - literally "boar against a dog rodeo".

This fun imitates a dog hunt for a wild boar in the ring, as a rule, both special breeds of dogs and special breeds of pigs are raised and trained for rodeos. Hog-dog rodeo is not considered a "bloody sport", as in most cases the dog takes control of the pig without any physical contact, using psychological superiority. Sometimes, to increase the audience's interest, the dog must take the pig by the ears with its teeth, but even here there is no blood, and the judge immediately bred the animals.

In most cases, the victory for the dogs is counted at the moment when the boar stops. Bets are placed on the time it takes for the dog to stop the pig and on which dog will be able to do it faster. It is very popular in the USA, especially in the state of Louisiana, where it is considered almost a national sport.

Sports betting

In addition to racing and fighting, there are other sports that can be classified as exotic. Likewise, some bets on ordinary sports can shock the civilized layman.

Jaialai

This game is considered the fastest team sport with a ball, the speed of the projectile can reach 270 km / h, more than after serving the best masters in tennis. Hai-alai is played in a room closed by walls on all sides, except for one - there is a net through which the audience is watching the competition. The player's task is to catch the ball with one movement and send it to the wall. If he fails, he is eliminated and the next player takes his place. The ball is caught and bounced with the help of a special wicker bucket, "pelota", tied to the player's hand.

The game was invented by the Basques - one of the peoples inhabiting modern Spain. Therefore, Hai Alai spread throughout the world along with the conquistadors. But it gained a foothold and gained great popularity only in the Philippines and the United States.

As with horse racing, the sport is about money bets, not the competition itself. Therefore, in the state of Florida, the clubs in which the games were held were equated to casinos, where they placed bets and played poker. The clubs were called, for example, "Hai Alai and Poker in Hamilton" (Hamilton Jai Alaiand Poker).

After the state of Florida, where almost all Americans come for summer vacations, began to allow other gambling, the Hai Alai industry fell into a deep crisis. Therefore, in 2003, local legislators were forced to adopt law HB 1059, which changes the rules for the regulation of poker and sports betting, allowing these types of gambling only in conjunction with Hai-alai in order to preserve the halls intended for this sport.

During the dawn of the popularity of Hai-alai, in 1970-1980, arenas for this game were opened in the most prestigious casinos in Las Vegas and Reno.

African rates

We are used to the fact that the Black Continent is simply overflowing with exotics. But not in gambling - here Africans prefer traditional entertainment that came from Europe. Of course, some tribes practice their own gambling, but most of the local players are betting on English Premier League matches. English football is akin to religion here - don't be surprised if you find yourself at a national championship match in Nigeria or Cameroon and see empty stands and streets. They just broadcast the England championship match on TV, and all the local viewers are sitting in front of the TV - almost every one of them made a bet.

And the rates here are the most exotic. European and American readers last year were shocked by the publication of a certain Henry Dhabasani from Uganda, who bet his car and wife on Arsenal's victory over Manchester United.

It shouldn't be surprising that Henry has three wives and five children, and in Africa such rates are in the order of things. Locals in poor countries don't have a lot of cash, so they bet their wives or children on soccer wins.

Uterus or Satta

A very interesting game was invented by the Indians - they combined the lottery and sports betting, creating a virtually new genre of gambling. In the 1960s, Bombay (today this city is called Mumbai) experienced a boom in light industry, the work of enterprises was very much dependent on world prices for cotton.

In the early 60s, gamblers were betting on the price of cotton at the opening and closing of the Bombay Cotton Exchange. Later, the exchange moved to another area - Serai, and received prices for cotton from the New York Cotton Exchange. But in 1961, the exchange stopped sending cotton prices and gamblers did not know what to bet on. Then a certain Kalyanji Bhagat proposed his own rules of the game - and this is how the Matka was born (in some regions of India, the game is called Satta).

He suggested playing with the prices of fictional goods. Before the start of the game, gamblers wrote their numbers on pieces of paper, which formed into a large jug called the queen, which gave the name to the game itself. Then everyone made bets, one of the players took out one or several pieces of paper from the jug and the numbers written on it were declared winning. Later, playing cards were also used to determine the winning numbers.

The game of womb has always been illegal in India, the authorities of Mumbai fought such a fierce struggle against it that over time, most of the underground establishments moved to neighboring cities and provinces. The peak of popularity of the uterus came in the 1980s, in our time this game has ceded the palm to cricket betting in India. But even now, there are thousands of illegal gambling establishments in the country, where locals and tourists can bet on this game.

Board and carnival games

All over the world, fairs and carnivals have long been the main venue for gambling. The peasant worked hard all year in the field, and only at a major holiday or trade event he could rest and gamble. Therefore, most of the board games in the world are somehow connected with large holiday carnivals or fairs.

Very often, the organizers of such games were scammers who gave birth to a whole genre of games that cannot be called pure gambling - after all, victory does not depend on luck or chance, but on the organizer's sleight of hand. In our country, the most popular version of such a game is the famous "thimbles" - the player has to guess under which of the three thimbles (cups, glasses, matchboxes) the ball is located. In most other countries and cultures, the essence of the game is the same - you have to choose one of the three options, although the shape may differ. And sometimes there is a real exotic.

Razzle-Dazzle

The game Razzle-Dazzle is especially popular at fairs and carnivals in English-speaking countries. The very name of the game has become a household word - this word now denotes loud fun, noisy fun or a successful combination in team ball games.

In front of the player is a field with holes, each of them is marked with a number (usually in the range from 1 to 6, but variations may occur). The player takes a glass and throws balls out of it onto the playing field, each of them hits a hole, the dealer counts the sum of the numbers that mark the occupied holes. Depending on the collected amount, the player receives winning points according to a special table. The dependence here is non-linear, for example, for 44 you can get 5 prize points, for 31 - 10 points, and for 52 - 1 point. But not every amount can bring at least one winning point.

As a rule, a player needs to collect a certain amount of prize points in order to collect a cash or valuable prize. Any number of players can take part in the game at the same time - one throws balls, and everyone else bets on its result.

Razl Dazl is very popular in Cuba and New Orleans, especially during carnivals and celebrations. In the American press, devastating articles and journalistic investigations often appear, telling how the Louisiana police officers suddenly lose their eyesight as soon as they approach the tent with Razl-Dazl.

Fan tam

And in China, either traditional mahjong or Fan Tam is played at the table. Mahjong has long ceased to be exotic - sets for this game are sold in bookstores around the world. But in the West, mahjong is rarely played for money, although in China itself the volume of illegal bets in this game is estimated at 1 trillion yuan.

Fan Tam is the most simplified version of the game of mahjong for money. The dealer pours out some small objects, the total number of which is known to the players (unlike classic mahjong, where special chips are used, there can be buttons, beans and even rice grains), and divides them in half using a wooden stick or knife. Players place bets on how many items are on the left. The winner is the one who gives the exact amount or makes the minimum mistake.

The Chinese believe that men who play good Fan Tam are the most passionate and ardent lovers. Therefore, the winners receive not only a cash prize, but also attention from the weaker sex.

Two-up

A coin game based on guessing heads or tails is popular all over the world. Still, the game needs the same item as for the bets. But the Australians went farthest in the development of this type of gambling entertainment, who invented the Two-Up game, which became a national fun.

The dealer, who is called a spinner, throws two coins into the air at once, and the players place bets on three possible outcomes - two "heads", two "tails" or one "heads" and one "tails".

The game was very popular among Australian soldiers who took part in the First and Second World Wars. Therefore, now it has become an obligatory attribute of the celebration of AnzacDay (ANZAC is the Australian-New Zealand Corps, the so-called part that glorified itself in the bloody battles of the First World War), the day when all of Australia remembers its veterans and pays tribute to those who died in wars.

Death bets

Public morality and traditions of Western society condemn even idle talk about death, not to mention gambling and betting. The global death betting industry annually turns over hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, but this is usually kept silent.

It all began in the middle of the 20th century in the United States, at the Indianapolis 500 Miles, also known as the Indianapolis 500, Indy 500 or The 500. In the middle of the last century, so many racers died during the competition that bookmakers began to accept bets not only on the athlete's seat at the finish line, but also on the probability of his death. Later, bets on the death of an athlete began to be accepted in other dangerous sports. And in the XXI century, during the development of online gambling, there were many sites offering to bet on the death of a celebrity.

Lawmakers have defended public morality and banned betting on celebrity deaths at the federal level. But criminal organizations, as you know, do not abide by the laws, which is why the death betting industry is flourishing in America today. Usually such bets are accepted on websites, gamblers are asked to determine which celebrity will die before the end of the year. For small bets (usually $ 1-5), the prize can reach $ 3000.

Summarize

The history of gambling has its origins in the same place as the whole history of mankind. People played always and everywhere, and the state authorities forbade them to do it. But the more officials impose bans, the more interesting it is for a common man to make bets. The opportunity to touch something illegal, go down to the basement, where only “insiders” are allowed to watch a cockfight or cockroach race - this is already interesting. And if there you can also try your luck, make a bet or two, then the success of the enterprise is guaranteed.

Religion, as well as belonging to a particular culture, does not affect the interest in gambling in any way. The bet on the rooster is made in the courtyards of communist Cuba, and in the closed room of a teahouse in Muslim Pakistan, and in the concert hall of capitalist Mexico.

And at holiday fairs, the distinction between the customs of different cultures is completely erased. Visitors to MardiGra in New Orleans are well aware that those people who secretly invite them to gamble in an illegal booth are most likely common scammers. This is also known to a Hindu who goes down to the basement, where the uterus is played. Yes, and tourists walking around Paris and who have received an invitation to “guess the map” hardly indulge in hopes of fair play.

But the process itself, more reminiscent of a secret shamanic ritual that accompanies most exotic games, captures people so much that they are ready to take risks. They are ready to pay their money just for participating in this sacrament, for the opportunity to touch something mysterious and forbidden.

In the modern world, where gambling, as well as other areas of our life, are gradually going online, some exotic types of gambling remain the few entertainment that allow us to experience the same sensations that our ancestors experienced throughout the history of mankind.

Therefore, it is not surprising that many especially exotic types of bets are gaining popularity in the richest and most developed countries.

19.05.2018 NewsOfGambling

Gambling is an integral part of Human Civilization. We have played since time immemorial and will always place bets, whether in a casino, in a home game or on the Internet. This is how people are arranged and to argue with this is to argue with reality. But what are these 8 billion people on planet Earth basically playing? We looked, counted, compared and came to the following conclusion:

10th place: TOTALIZER

The good old horse racing betting remains one of the most popular forms of gambling. Largely thanks to interactive technology. If earlier people could only place bets directly at the racetrack, now this can be done without leaving home. The main betting markets are Great Britain, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates. By the way, the largest racetrack is located in Dubai.

9th place: BINGO

Especially a favorite game for older people in view of its simplicity and some kind of socialization, bingo (in Russia the game is often called LOTO) is popular in Europe and America. You can sit with neighbors at the table and cross out numbers on cards all day long. Fortunately, the game is accessible to a wide range of people.

8th place: PATINKO

Most people on the planet do not even know about the existence of this game, but Asians, and first of all the Japanese, are just avid pachinkos. What can I say if this business in Japan accounts for 4% of the total gross national income! Koreans, Chinese and other Asians also love fixing. Pachinko is a slot machine in which hundreds and thousands of small balls are launched according to the pinball principle and the winning depends on whether the ball hits the prize slot.

7th place: BLACKJACK

The greatest heyday of blackjack comes at the end of the twentieth century, when the general public learned that this game can have an advantage over the casino. Blackjack is still one of the most entertaining and clever games, where the professional player can reduce his chances of losing and maximize his winnings using special strategies. Blackjack is very popular in the USA, and there are tables for this game in almost all casinos in the world.

6th place: ROULETTE

The queen of gambling takes only sixth place in our rating. Despite the fact that this dynamic and very gambling game excites the minds of millions of people on the planet, it requires special equipment. And the casinos themselves are not legal in all countries of the world. Roulette is popular in Europe, America, Africa. But it is hardly played in Asia.

5th place: BAKKARA

But for which baccarat got the fifth place, overtaking roulette - this is precisely because Asians adore it! In gambling houses in Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, baccarat tables occupy up to 80% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe gaming hall. Baccarat is the leading casino card game in Asia. It is also loved in the USA, but in Europe, except for James Bond and tourists from China, few people play baccarat ...

4th place: GAMING MACHINES

One-armed bandits have long ago and by a large margin broke away from other casino games. They are simple, dynamic and attractive. Since the first slot machines were invented 100 years ago, they have become true works of art. Alluring players and offering giant jackpots! Most of all slots are loved in the USA, Australia and Europe. Slot machines are also the most popular type in online casinos.

3rd place: BETS ON SPORTS

Sports betting attracts with its simplicity and illusion of the player's expertise. Everyone thinks they know that Arsenal have no chance against Barça or vice versa. And he bets on it! Sports betting has moved online recently, with the UK being the largest market. The boom in fantasy game betting, which is essentially the same as sports betting, has greatly raised the rating of this type of gambling.

2nd place: POKER

Our favorite type of gambling. This, of course, is primarily about club poker, where players compete with each other. This is the well-known Texas poker, Omaha and others. Poker championships and tournaments are not currently held except in the church. Everywhere - in casinos and in home friendly games, on all continents poker dominates. Most of the movies related to gambling are made about poker. Psychological research is dedicated to him. By the way, there are countries in which poker is recognized as a sport! For example, in Ukraine and Canada.

The casino poker variations are also popular and add points to the rating. Games like Russian poker (also known as Lunar Poker), Ultimate Texas Holdem Poker, and Three Card Poker have fans all over the world.

1st place: LOTTERY

Iii ... The main prize goes to ... !!! Lottery.

As they say, the lottery is an accurate count of the number of optimists. The chances of winning the lottery are negligible and every player is aware of this. But! All the same, billions of people buy lottery tickets and play (usually with the State) in gambling. Why? Because the winnings in the Lottery are so large that no other form of gambling can offer them! The average person equates winning the lottery to the beginning of a new, different life, in which all the benefits of the World will be available to him! Well, we wish good luck to all the lottery players - it will be very useful to them!

As a result, we talked about the most popular types of gambling. And every person decides for himself how and what to play!

I would like to believe that gambling will someday bring us purely aesthetic pleasure. But, alas, while homo sapiens is subject to excitement, and the player experiences greater ecstasy when he is spurred on by a win in monetary terms. There are hundreds of gambling games in the world, but only a few of them are popular among gamblers, and even fewer games are known to inexperienced people, and even fewer games that carry an intellectual charge. The names of the games will gradually appear on this page - all possible spellings that may occur. Perhaps, a little later, I will not be too lazy to write more about these games.

For ease of viewing, a general type of gambling is summarized under each title. The list includes some non-gambling games, such as commercial card games. Although, for example, poker is accepted to be classified as both a gambling and a commercial game.

Types of gambling

In the casino, you can be offered to play a variety of gambling games. Each game has its own rules, including the rules of etiquette. In addition, there is special equipment for each casino game. Equipment means the dealer's working inventory: chips, gambling table, dice, cards, etc.

Some games weren't invented that long ago. So, only some casinos in the USA offer to play the game "catch the wave". In Russia, it is still unpopular.

All casino games are based on the process of the player opposing the bank, on whose behalf the gambling house acts. Most of the games have their own varieties, typical for each specific gambling house, so it probably makes no sense to describe them in detail, but it would be useful to list some of the games that are traditionally played in Western, and now in Russian casinos, of course, if they deliberately not excluded from the list of proposed entertainment.

So, in the casino you may be offered to play the following games:

Roulette - European, American, French;

Bones - sik, bo;

Card games - blackjack and its varieties, poker and its varieties, borax, craps, baccarat and its varieties, stos, "casino war", "red dog";

Domino - Pai Gow;

Wheel of Fortune;

Keno (a type of lotto);

Slot machines.

The games that you will be offered to play at the casino differ in complexity. So, the most difficult is Pai Gou, which requires dominoes, and the simplest is a card game called "Casino War".

You can find out the actual rules of each particular casino in relation to the game you are interested in directly during the game or from the instructions that are necessarily present in the institution and are easily available for study. Nevertheless, if you first decided to plunge into the world of gambling, it would be useful for you to learn about their four main varieties.

Other types of games In addition to playing for money, for which, in fact, people go to casinos, the administration of large establishments usually offers them additional entertainment - such as billiards, bowling, shows, etc.

Gambling includes all casinos, sweepstakes, betting in bookmakers, lotteries and, of course, television quizzes, sweepstakes and intellectual games. All games in which there is some kind of win should certainly be attributed to gambling.

Let's look at some of them more specifically:

Slot machines are a fairly simple type of gambling. The machines have a program that determines the winning percentage. In most cases, the amount that a gambling establishment is ready to give is very small. By sitting up for such entertainment, the player reduces the chance of winning.

There is nothing difficult in the game against bookmakers. Luck and intuition are the main levers for success.

Card games for money should certainly be classified as gambling. Such entertainment has existed for a fairly long period of time and is successfully developing in many countries of the world. At the moment, card games occupy one of the first pages in the ranking of the most popular gambling games.

Lotteries have firmly established themselves in our country, with the advent of Soviet power, and do not lose their popularity. This entertainment has existed for 6 centuries and claims to be a veteran of gambling.

For many, gambling serves as a way to get rid of negative emotions and escape from the realities of harsh reality.

There are a great many gambling games. Those that have been listed are a drop in the ocean compared to the actual number of games in the world. For some people, gambling is not only entertainment, but also a way to make money. There is a category of people who devote all their free time to gambling.

Today, online slot machines are in great demand and their popularity is much higher than other gambling games available to the wide masses. The reason for this rise in popularity is not difficult to explain. It lies in the fact that the player has the opportunity to play right at home. In the atmosphere that is most familiar and comfortable for him.

The ability to earn money by playing games also leads to an increase in the popularity of this type of gambling. Sitting in a comfortable chair behind the monitor screen, the player can be completely sure that he will not be disturbed by a neighbor sitting at a table in an adjacent chair. However, such conditions are not to everyone's taste.

There remains a considerable number of players who will never exchange gaming halls for a home environment. Indeed, in a huge number of cases, it is the negative home environment that brings people to the casino. By gambling, people get a storm of emotions and relief from the hardships of everyday life.

However, behind the veil of temptations that are shrouded in gambling, one should not forget about the negative side of this entertainment. Unfortunately, addiction to the game leads some of its participants to ruin or, less deplorably, to the loss of large sums of money.

It is necessary to understand that it will not always be possible to win and it is worth stopping in time. Not everyone is capable of this. It is such people who fall under the influence of passion and cannot stop until they empty their pockets to the last penny.

Here is, in fact, a quick overview of the most popular gambling games. This article should make it possible to understand whether it is worth starting to gamble or not. Make a conclusion for yourself what the goal you are trying to achieve by starting the game. Prioritize yourself.

If this should become a means of earning for you, then you should not break your head, for players like you it is important to act in a measured way, thinking over each subsequent step.
