Interesting gambling facts:

  • At land-based casinos, both the player and the boxman need to be on the lookout for crooked dice in the game of craps. Each number when added together with the number on the side opposite it, will add up to 7. For example, 6 is opposite to 1. When the dice are crooked, they do not add up to 7.
  • Dice games have existed in one form or another for over 2000 years and were originally played with dice fashioned from the knucklebones of sheep.
  • U.S. News and World Report did a comparison of crime rates in cities with gambling versus those that do not. The crime rates were significantly higher in the places that allowed gambling.
  • The first recorded betting games were played with marked disks or bones (the forerunners of dice), and spinning wheels or shields.
