Casino is a form of Entertainment

 

Casino originally, a public hall for music and dancing; by the second half of the 19th century, a collection of gaming or gambling rooms.

The classic example of a casino, and for long the world’s best known, is that at Monte-Carlo, which opened in 1863. The casino has long been a major source of income for the principality of Monaco.

Of the games played regularly at casinos:

Roulette - is found throughout the world, being a principal gambling game in France, where casinos reduce their advantage to less than 1 percent to entice big bettors.

Craps - attracts the big bettors in American casinos, most of which demand an advantage no greater than 1.4 percent and some only 1 percent or less.

Slot machines - and (from the 1980s) video poker machines are the economic mainstay of American casinos, the income resulting from high volume, rapid play at sums ranging from five cents to a dollar, and the ability to adjust machines for any desired profit. Another very common game offered in most casinos is keno.

Of casino card games:

Baccarat - in the popular variant known as chemin de fer—is the principal gambling game in the United Kingdom and those European continental casinos most often patronized by the British, such as those at Deauville, Biarritz, and on the Riviera. 

Blackjack - is a fixture in American casinos and trente et quarante in the French.

Poker - variants such as Caribbean stud.

Sic bo - (which spread to several European and American casinos during the 1990s), fan-tan, and pai-gow.

ENTERTAINMENT TO PROBLEM

Anyone who gambles risks struggling with problem gambling. Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment. However, when people go through different phases of life, or face times of high stress and grief, they may begin to rely on the sense of excitement and the perceived glitz and glam of gambling as a way to deal with their stress or grief. This is when gambling goes from entertainment to problem, and becomes problem gambling.
