WHERE ARE THE CASINOS IN PARIS?

Originally, in the 17th century, a “casino” was a small house, in northern Italy, located in areas far from the cities. In the middle of nowhere, they were the perfect places to live out your days peacefully, far from a changing world. It was in Venice, from this time, that the name “ridotto”, which can translate to “nook”, was applied to the dedicated space in a house where one plays board games, even gambling: a games room.
Badly transformed popularly, “a ridotto” became “a redoubt” from the 18th century. Such rooms, with many table games, multiplied throughout Italy, Austria, Germany, and England.
From 1780, the term “casino” would be used on a European scale, then worldwide, to designate such gaming rooms, thanks to the British who saw Italy as a fashionable travel destination at that time.
The term “gaming house” took on new meaning in French in 1850, understood in the sense of “gentlemen’s club”, sometimes even “pleasure house”.
The flourishing of such gaming establishments would extend throughout Europe and the United States, whose saloons will be the first gambling halls, then in Asia, and they would gradually become casinos as we know them today, each with their own national regulations.

World capital of casinos, Las Vegas and its flagship establishments, such as the Rio (setting of the famous WSOP), the Bellagio, the Mirage, the Wynn, and many more, are now a mecca for all fans of gaming. Atlantic City is also a popular destination in the United States. For the past ten years or so, Macao (the Las Vegas of Asia) has become a flagship destination not to be missed, thanks to its games and tables with the highest limits in the world. To the point of dethroning Las Vegas? Time will tell.
