The history of gambling goes back a very long way. Archaeologists have discovered something resembling dice in 40,000 year old ruins, and it is known that these were quite popular in games of chance for the ancient Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and Native Americans. Six-sided dice appeared in Iraq and India at least 5,000 years ago.
人類賭博的歷史十分悠久，考古學家在四萬年前的史前遺址中就發現了古希臘、羅馬、阿拉伯和印第安人地區都很流行的「碰運氣」遊戲中的距骨（一種類似骰子的器物）遺蹟，公元前三千年，伊拉克和印度就已經出現了六面的骰子。
