30 Sep How do online casinos work?

Casinos were first built in Venice at the beginning of the 17th century, along the grand canal where betting had gained popularity among all classes. The word casino is taken from the Italian word ‘casa’ which means ‘house’. Casinos were not only places were people gambled, but some were also used for meetings, some became prostitution centres while some were commonplaces. By the next century, the world was falling in the feet of colonial powers and these countries imposed taxes on gambling. By the early 1900s, the great depression of the United States of America gave birth to the Vegas strip. Situated in the middle of a vast desert and mountainous terrain, this metropolitan area in Nevada became the symbol of casinos for the entire world. Visiting a casino is fun, but little do we know about how they operate; it takes a hefty sum of money to start a casino because you would have to provide folding and lodging as well.

All casinos have to be on their toes and maintain maximum security to save them from fraudsters and scammers. These experienced tricksters, rig machines, fool dealers or sometimes bribe an employee so that they can win extra cash. In a casino everything is being watched, the dealer watches each player, a boxman attends each dealer, a floorman watches each boxman, the floorman is watched by the pit runners, the pit bosses watch the pit runners, the manager watches the pit bosses, and everything is watched by a CCTV system which runs 24/7. These casinos also employees’ ex-cons who were charged for fraud, they work for the casino and help them identify individuals who are cheating since they know every trick in the book.

Players are lured to play more by providing them with attractive free comps and a royal treatment if they spend a lot of money. Casinos will provide you with beautiful women who will be serving free food and a lot of alcohol. Drinks play a significant role in the casino business, and all casino owners want their customers to be drunk so that they lose the sense of making wise decisions. An intoxicated gambler will bet everything he has but a sober player will be in a position to make smart decisions like the walk home with the money after you have won. The casino always wins; this is a famous saying because most of the games are designed in such a way that the player has a low chance of winning. Gambling is not a game of luck but a game of numbers.
