Change is a constant phenomenon; it has always existed in nature and will continue to. While humans have consistently gambled since ancient times, and places like China already had gambling establishments, the first casino graced the world in the 17th century.
The casino was quite different from the gambling organizations the world had seen before; it entered the scene with a different purpose. Quite ironically, the government established the first casino to control gambling. In other words, the first casino, established in Italy in 1638, was a government-owned-and-controlled gambling house in the streets of Venice called The Ridotto.
