hjhklDid you know that archeology provides answers even to questions such as when the first casino existed. Oddly enough, but long before our era there were gambling establishments in China. The first casino in Europe is considered to be Ridotto, opened in 1638 in Venice. By order of the government, a gambling house was opened in the left wing of the Church of Moses in order to control gambling taking place during the great spring carnival. Ridotto introduced a strict dress code and high stakes in order to limit the number of players to the aristocracy. The casino, closed in 1774 under pressure from devotees of piety, was reopened in 1946 at the Vendramin Palace. It is safe to say that these were no id casinos. Back then, it was much easier to play both in online casinos and in land-based gambling establishments.
