Most of the people don’t know that gambling is more than 3500 years old. Ancient civilization start to gambling in a form or another. From the ancient to our days when you can bet online it was a long way. You just sit in front of your computer , open the browser, enter the gambling site address, example : Lucky Live Casino and you are ready to test your luck. In the ancient time the dices were very popular. A pair of ivory dices were discovered dating 1000 BC in China. Also in Europe there is a myth that King Olaf of Norway and King Olaf of Sweden using the dices they solved an teritory ownership dispute between them.

The chinese were the first ones to print playing cards after they discovered paper and off course money. When the playing cards arrived in Europe the french modified them by inserting symbols of the royal ranks from the court and that was the basics for the 52-card deck that we use today.
The next bigger stept was done in 1931 when in Las vegas , Northern Club has received the first gambling license. From a little town full with workers from the Hover Dam Las Vegas evolved in the Capital of Gambling that we know today.
Next step in gambling history was the internet era when gambling online is very easy.

    Playing Poker on the Strip

    City of Las Vegas

    Image via Wikipedia

    The Strip, in Las Vegas, one of the most colorful streets in the world is home to some of the most grandiose casinos ever. On the Strip everything is about showing off. If you are rich, you show it, if you are not, you at least pretend to be.
    The famous casinos on the strip are the places where rich and poor mix, especially at the poker tables. Some high rollers sit at tables where bets are low as a warm-up, and most of the times one can only guess who they are playing against and how deep their pockets are. The common thing about all the types of people present in the casinos is the will to be seen. They all want to get noticed. Some play poker to get the money so they can be noticed, others spend a little from the lot that they have with the same purpose.
    People with significant amounts of money, who are wiling to risk some of their millions of dollars, are called High Rollers or Whales. These high rollers often visit casinos like the MGM, The Venetian, Luxor, etc. just to play a little and of course receive the VIP treatment that these (and other) casinos are known to provide for such guests.
    Regardless of one’s social background or material status, we can state that most people who come to play on the Strip are there for one thing: for the attention.

    BET Opens the Door to Scripted Programming With the Original Series ‘SOMEBODIES’

    NEW YORK, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ — As part of the 2006 Dramatic Independent Film Competition at Sundance, the film Somebodies made a big impression on audiences and critics alike. Now two years later, the television series picks up where the film ended as bet brings the feature to life in the form of the network’s first scripted series.
    (Logo: )
    Premiering Tuesday, September 9 at 10:30 p.m.* with a special one-hour premiere featuring two back-to-back half-hour episodes, SOMEBODIES is a single-camera comedy written, directed and starring the film’s creator, Hadjii, who shares executive producing duties on the television series with the original feature’s producer, Nathaniel Kohn, and Generate’s Peter Aronson (EP of “The Bernie Mac Show”) and Jordan Levin (former CEO of the WB network). The series premiere and additional episodes are being helmed by Rusty Cundieff (”Fear of a Black Hat,”"Chappelle’s Show”).
    Hadjii plays the central role of Scottie, an African-American undergraduate at a large university trying to figure out his place in the world. While his housemates — Marlo, Six, Tory, and Jelly — are preparing to transition out of college and into the real world, Scottie is set to enter yet another year as a “professional student.” Recognizing the need to get his life on track, Scottie embarks on a journey of self-discovery without exactly knowing which path to follow and everyone in his life has an unsolicited opinion on the direction he should take. From his eccentric Southern family (Aunt Agnes, Uncle Skeeter and Uncle Charles) to his sometime girlfriend, always good friend, Diva; from the caustic musings of his fire-and-brimstone preacher (Reverend Hill) to the sarcastic ribbings of his buddies, everyone has an opinion about Scottie’s life except Scottie.
    Shot entirely on location in Athens, GA, home to the University of Georgia, the eclectic city shines as a major character in the series. Featuring the original cast from the film, SOMEBODIES is an unconventional, smart, and honest comedy about a young man looking to better himself and do the right thing.
    Hadjii brings a refreshingly direct, insightful and observational voice to series television as he explores the expectations for black men in today’s society.
    SOMEBODIES is executive produced by Hadjii, Nathaniel Kohn, Pete Aronson and Jordan Levin. Reginald Hudlin (President, Entertainment) and Brett King (SVP, Scripted Programming) are the executives for bet Networks.

    WPT Returns to the Bicycle Casino for the Legends of Poker Main Event; Preliminary Events and Mariani/Buss Charity Tournament a Success

    BELL GARDENS, Calif., Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ — More than three weeks of Legends of poker events at the Bicycle Casino have led to the tournament everyone waits for — the World poker Tour $10,000 Legends of poker No-Limit Hold’em main event. It begins on Saturday, August 23, and there is no shortage of players prepared to claim the title of 2008 Legend of Poker.
    The Legends of poker 21 preliminary events drew players from all over the world for the famous tournament series that included everything from hold’em to Omaha events. Over 5,500 players took part, and the top finishers took home portions of the cumulative $3,082,647 prize pools. Two poker legends have made their mark on this year’s series thus far, as Barbara Enright took down the LIPS ladies tournament and Men “The Master” Nguyen won two of the prelim events.
    On Thursday, August 21, the Bicycle Casino was host to two special annual events. The first was the Legend of Legends & Media Invitational, a freeroll tournament that gives the media an opportunity to play alongside some of the legends of the game. Out of 81 entrants, Chris Dolan of NBC took down the top media prize of $2,500 cash and $2,500 to be donated to the charity of Dolan’s choice, the Lakers Youth Foundation. And the top finishing legend was long-time pro Randy Holland, who scored a buy-in to the Legends of poker main event worth $10,000.
    The second of the two events was one that the Bicycle Casino is proud to host each year, the Mariani/Buss No-Limit Hold’em tournament to benefit the Lakers Youth Foundation. Pro poker players descended upon the event for a cocktail reception and the 7pm $1,000 entry tournament. There were 116 players and a total of 41 rebuys to create a prize pool of $136,590, and $100 from each buy-in and rebuy went directly to the Lakers Youth Foundation, in addition to other donations that were made throughout the evening. In the end, Behzad Teranie from Anaheim claimed first place in the tournament, and the evening was a success for the Lakers Youth Foundation.
    All of the August festivities have led to the big one as the World poker Tour comes to the Bicycle Casino for the $10,000 Legends of poker main event. It gets underway on Saturday, August 23 at 2pm, and a second Day 1 will take place the following day to accommodate all players. Last year, a total of 485 players competed to create $4,607,500 prize pool, and in the end, seasoned poker pro and acclaimed author Dan Harrington claimed victory and over $1.6 million. This year promises another exciting tournament that will play down to the Thursday, August 28 final table, which is open to the public. Those who want to witness a part of poker history and be there for the WPT filming to be shown at a later date on Fox Sports (FSN), seating is free and begins at 4pm.
    All players are welcome at the Bicycle Casino throughout the events, as hundreds of tables are available for poker, blackjack, and various other games at a wide range of dollar limits. As so many players from around the world know, there is no other place in L.A. like the Bike!
