Casino

A casino is a real world premises or an online service that allows players to wager money on games of chance.

Casinos have been around since the 1600's and are heavily restricted in most countries although the Internet has made this harder to control.  Governments have a love hate relationship with them as on the one hand they're a great source of tax revenue but are often associated with a number of social ills, namely gambling addiction.

There are thousands of casino related blogs and articles out there but the vast majority are promoting an online casino, so take it with a pinch of salt when a blogger “recommends” a particular casino, they're almost certainly acting as an affiliate and will get paid a sign up fee or a percentage of any money spent by users that follow the links to the casino.

Typical casino games include Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat & Slot machines with new games being invented all the time, but one things for sure whatever the game "the house always wins" in the long run.
