I have actually never been to a casino! Have you?
I've only walked through one while in the Bahamas. The casino consisted of various gambling facilities.
Do you know much about them?
Typically they are commonly built in popular areas such as hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships. I recently went on a cruise and the casino was packed!
I suppose it's an impulse thing
Most definitely. The word casino is of the Italian origin which means summer house or social club. So yeah, its meant to be popular to some.
Do you know how long casinos have been around?
including dancing, gambling, music listening, and sports; examples in Italy include Villa Farnese and Villa Giulia, and in the US the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island.

Not all casinos were used for gaming. The Catalina Casino, a famous landmark

A casino is a facility which houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities. The industry that deals in casinos is called the gaming industry. Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships or other tourist attractions. There is much debate over whether the social and economic consequences of casino gambling outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated. Some casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.
