Currently, there are several gambling zones in the world, in particular in the USA, Macau and Singapore.
One of the most popular in the world and leading in USA gambling center is Las Vegas (Nevada). Almost 40 million tourists visit the city every year.
In 1931, all gambling was officially legalized in the state of Nevada, while it remained illegal in most other states. In 1941, the first casino, El Rancho Vegas, opened in the city. Every year the number of casinos has constantly grown, and currently there are more than 120 casinos in the city, the total number of licensed gaming establishments exceeds 1,700, the number of slot machines is more than 200 thousand. In 2013, the profit of all gambling establishments in Las Vegas was $6.5 billion. The most famous casinos are Wynn Las Vegas, Flamingo, Planet Hollywood, Venetian, Bellagio, Luxor, Stratosphere, Circus Circus, etc.
One of the most famous scams Las Vegas casinos use an improved card counting system (developed in 1962 by mathematics professor Edward Thorpe). With her help in the 1990s. A team of American students known as the MIT Team, exchanging coded words and signs, won more than $10 million over several years.
The biggest robbery Las Vegas casino happened in 1993. Then criminals stole a truck parked near the Circus Circus casino, which contained about $3 million.
Biggest win in history- $40 million - received in March 2003 by an American programmer (who decided not to disclose his name) at the Excalibur casino in Las Vegas.
Such famous Hollywood films as “Viva Las Vegas”, “Ocean’s Eleven”, “The Godfather”, “Rain Man”, etc. were filmed in Las Vegas.
Another large gambling zone is located in Macau. Gambling in this territory, which once belonged to Portugal, has been permitted since 1847. The active development of the gambling business began in 1962, when the Sociedade de Turismo e Diverses de Macau (STDM) syndicate was granted monopoly rights to conduct all types of gambling . After sovereignty over Macau passed to the PRC in 1999, gambling policy did not change.
In 2002, the Sociedade de Turismo e Diverses de Macau's monopoly expired. Sociedade de Jogos de Macau (a subsidiary of STDM), as well as major global companies in this field: Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Sands, Galaxy Entertainment Group, MGM Mirage, received the right to operate in the gambling business.
Macau is the only place in China, where you can legally gamble. There are 33 casinos here, with more than 4 thousand slot machines and 850 gaming tables. The most famous are the Galaxy, Grand Lisboa and The Venetian casinos. The gambling business brings Macau more than 70% of all revenues, which amounted to $45 billion in 2013. Macau casinos are visited annually by about 30 million tourists from around the world.
In 2011, scammers from Macau managed to pull off scam for $24 million playing baccarat (a card game in which players try to score as many points as possible using two or three cards). They replaced regular shuffles (a device for shuffling cards) with special ones equipped with cameras, sensors and mirrors, which were accidentally discovered during an inspection of casino equipment. As a result, seven people were arrested.
Currently, the third largest gambling area after Macau and Las Vegas is considered Singapore. A 40-year ban on gambling was lifted here in 2005. Only two casinos operate legally. They were opened only in 2010, their profitability in 2013 exceeded $6 billion. In the first gambling complex built in Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, in addition to the casino, there are 10 restaurants, six hotels, a shopping center, and a Universal theme park Studios, Marine Life Park with the largest aquarium in the world and other entertainment facilities.
The second complex - Marina Bay Sands - consists of three 55-storey towers with a huge outdoor swimming pool on their roofs, and includes more than 2.5 thousand rooms for recreation, seven restaurants, an exhibition center, a museum, two cinemas, two ice skating rinks, shopping area.
Known scam, which was carried out at Resorts World Sentosa by a croupier and his two accomplices, robbing the casino of $100 thousand. The croupier overpaid his accomplices by $100 each time they exchanged their chips (chips) of $500 and $1000 for chips of lower denomination. In 2011, the court sentenced the croupier to 2 years in prison, and the accomplices to 21 months in prison each.
The casinos of these cities are considered to be “classics of the genre.” The most famous, luxurious and rich casinos of the Old and New Worlds are the fruits of the labor of many brilliant entrepreneurs, but sometimes they are a happy coincidence, like a gift from windy Fortune.
Baden Baden
It is generally accepted that modern gambling began in Baden-Baden, Germany, in October 1748. It was then that several tavern and hotel owners received the right to conduct gambling in their establishments. And in 1824, the Baden-Baden Gambling House opened - the most famous and most beautiful casino in the Old World. True, it should be noted that at that time a casino was understood as a kind of house of culture, and the gaming halls themselves could only be part of it. And, for example, in Kultur Kasino in Bern there was never a game at all. By the middle of the 19th century, Baden-Baden became a favorite vacation spot for European and Russian nobility. Russian writers become frequent guests of the city - Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, whose losses are legendary here. Residents of Baden-Baden, having learned that you are from Russia, will gasp for a long time and tell you legends about Russian Badeners. They will certainly show you the tree under which the prototype of Dostoevsky’s story “The Gambler” shot himself. True, the same tree will be shown to you in Wiesbaden and Bad Homburg. Nowadays Baden-Baden is called nothing more than “the city of millionaires” or “the summer capital of Europe”. Having become the birthplace of the modern gambling business, even after two centuries it managed to retain its fame as the European gambling capital of the world.
Bad Homburg
The history of Baden-Baden was repeated on a smaller scale in the resort town of Bad Homburg, now a suburb of Frankfurt. In 1843, the second oldest casino in Europe opened here, not without the arrival of the Russian nobility. This city has not gained the same fame as Baden-Baden, but it is worth mentioning for this reason. The casino in Bad Homburg belonged to the Frenchman Maurice Blanc. In 1861, Kaiser Wilhelm banned gambling in Germany, and it was also banned in France at that time. Therefore, leaving his casino, Blanc moved to the Principality of Monaco and went straight to a reception with Crown Prince Charles III. This was the beginning of the great history of Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo
The Principality of Monaco is a narrow strip of coast about three kilometers long and no more than three hundred meters wide. The country is surrounded on three sides by French territory, and on the fourth by the Mediterranean Sea. For seven centuries, the owners of this very well located territory, the princes of Grimaldi, traded in piracy and robbery. But in the 19th century, the maritime racket ceased to be profitable, and the dynasty was on the verge of ruin. It was during this unkind time for Prince Charles III that Maurice Blanc came to him and said, according to legend, something like this: “What you are doing is childish. Give me a piece of territory on the other side of the bay, and I will build a city there that will rob all of Europe." After some thought, the ruler of Monaco agreed, stipulating as a condition a tenth share of the profits and that the city would be named after him. The deal was completed. Initially, the casino was located in a barn-like room with four gambling tables. Roulette and card games, prohibited by law in many European countries, magnetically attracted rich people from all over the world to Monte Carlo. A few years later, a huge gambling palace and hotel were built in Monte Carlo, a railway line was built, gardens were laid out, and the port was reconstructed. In 1866, by decree of the ruler of Monaco, Charles III, this part of the principality was solemnly renamed Monte Carlo.
For several years, Blanc was the European casino monopolist. By the way, the former Blanc casino in Bad Homburg later received the name “Mother of Monte Carlo”. Currently, the gaming complex in Monaco consists of two buildings. The casino has a huge number of rooms. There are more than forty roulette tables alone. There are halls where everyone is allowed to play, in any clothing, but they close at midnight. Entrance to the night halls is allowed only in tuxedos. Members of European royal houses, Formula 1 champions and Hollywood stars spend their time here. Bets on one baccarat game here sometimes reach $40,000.
Las Vegas
In the middle of a flat, cracked sand basin, surrounded on three sides by mountains, a mirage rises. Tourists approaching Las Vegas for the first time are literally glued to the windows in utter amazement - there, below, are the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge! And only the pilots habitually turn the car around, focusing on the column of light shooting vertically from the Cheops pyramid. The appearance of all this here in the desert is unrealistic, illogical, inexplicable by rational reasons. This is the result of a chain of accidents.
In 1829, a trade caravan heading to Los Angeles lost its way. Under the heavy sun of the red desert, death awaited him and would have waited if the Mexican Rafael Rivera had not been lucky enough to find an oasis with an artesian spring among the sands. Raphael called this place "Fertile Valleys", in Spanish "Las Vegas". In 1864, this territory became the 36th American state - Nevada. And in 1931, Nevada became the first and only state to legalize gambling. This coincided, very conveniently, with the start of construction of a grandiose dam on the Colorado River, 50 km from the Las Vegas railway station. To “organize leisure time” for five thousand workers, several casinos opened in the city. In 1936, after construction was completed, crowds of tourists came to see this gigantic dam and they traveled mainly in their cars along Highway 91. Hotels that received tourists stood along the highway, a little far from the city center. Casinos, on the contrary, were concentrated in the center. This discrepancy first caught the eye of gambling magnate Thomas Hull, and in 1941 he built the luxurious El Rancho hotel-casino next to the highway. From that time on, the rapid transformation of a small section of the highway into the gambling street of the Strip began, and Las Vegas into an American and world gambling center.
“El Rancho” and “Flamingo” began the tradition of building “themed” casino hotels, each of which provided its guests with some kind of living legend - a piece of ancient Rome, Egypt, Paris. The latest new buildings of the late 20th century are simply amazing. Inside the world's most expensive hotel, the Bellagio, there is an 8-acre artificial lake surrounded by poplar trees and "Tuscan" villas. The Mandalay Bay Hotel contains a tropical lagoon complete with beach and surf. And in the “Venice” under construction there will be a copy of St. Mark’s Square and a half-kilometer canal with real gondoliers. This will cost an absolutely astronomical amount - $2,250 million. It’s not surprising, according to experts, the daily profit of the global gambling center is about 15 billion (!) dollars.
So, this is a classic of the genre. But new casinos and luxurious gaming complexes are appearing all over the world: Atlantic City, Macau and other cities will soon claim the title of gaming capitals of the world. However, Fortune can smile on you in numerous casinos and gaming centers in our city, so don’t miss your chance and hit the jackpot.
Most people are indifferent to gambling, if not negative. There is an opinion that this is a negative habit, close to addiction, which normal members of society should avoid. But is this really so and what does this “normality” mean?
Any casino is a place that attracts interesting, eccentric and unconventional personalities. By visiting such an establishment you can plunge into the atmosphere of Hollywood films, make a friend for an hour, hit the jackpot or lose a lot of money - it all depends on luck.
