The first casino in the world is widely considered to be the Ridotto, established in Venice, Italy, in 1638. It was a government-owned gambling house that provided controlled gaming during the carnival season. The Ridotto offered various games like biribi and basetta, which were popular among nobles and commoners alike. Over time, it set the foundation for modern casinos, influencing gaming regulations and entertainment culture globally. This historical establishment marked the beginning of organized gambling venues, paving the way for the diverse casino industry we see today. |
