Casino Games for Australians

History of Casino Games

We can trace the beginnings of what would become casino games all the way back to ancient times, when money or other forms of currency were bet on various types of games, all the way from China to Egypt and across to Norway. These games usually involved some form of dice. Eventually gambling became more formalised and began to take place in what were known as gambling houses, the earliest of which was established in Italy. More contemporary examples of gambling houses could of course be found during the days of the American Wild West - these were known as saloons. At the same time in Europe casinos began to be established in localities such as Monte Carlo and other places on the French Riviera, Italy and England. In more modern times, casino games began to be housed in the famed Las Vegas and New Jersey gambling meccas.

Once the Internet became established it didn't take long for software developers to begin devising ways of developing online casinos. As graphical display software became more sophisticated, online casino games developers were able to create casino games suites with rich interfaces that successfully recreated real-world slots, tables and card games. And of course now these casino games suites have been converted for play on mobile devices.
