Gambling that relates to them. What is virtual gambling? What is a commercial game

The date: 06.08.2022

Gambling

The term currently has the following economic definition: betting on money or any material value on an event with a dubious outcome with the main intention of making a profit or material values. Gambling depends more on chance than on the skill of the players, and the size of the bets is assigned arbitrarily and can be changed by the players, and the main interest is directed not to the process of the game, but to its outcome.

Theoretical features

Although the outcome of gambling depends on chance, on a large scale it is also subject to certain laws. Owners of roulettes and other gambling houses with a long game always win even if the game is not accompanied by any deception. This is determined by the very conditions of the game. Establishing conditions under which the game is "fair" or "harmless", that is, gives both parties exactly the same chance of winning, as well as conditions that ensure, when the game is produced on a large scale (that is, with a very large number of iterations), a certain gain for one side, is the subject of mathematical research related to the field of probability theory.

Story

Slot machine room in the casino

In ancient India, as well as throughout the world, the game of dice was known. The collection of Vedic hymns "Rig Veda" contains the poem "Complaints of the Player", which warns against gambling: "Do not play dice, but plow your furrow! Find pleasure in your property and value it highly! Look after your cattle and your wife, despicable player! In the book " Bhavishya Purana"There is a story related to gambling: a certain prince lost everything, including his own wife, playing dice. The epic "Mahabharata" calls gambling a game of chance, which nevertheless describes in sufficient detail.

There is evidence of a passion for gambling with dice among the ancient Greeks, especially the Corinthians. Only in Sparta was gambling completely banished. Gambling is also mentioned in ancient Greek mythology. According to Greek legend, Palamedeus suggested a game of dice to entertain Greek soldiers who were bored waiting at the siege of Troy. The Greek biographer Plutarch mentions the Persian queen Parisatis [ clarify], an avid fan of dice.

Gambling was unusually popular among the Germans. The ancient German lost not only his property, but also his freedom: the one who lost and no longer had anything to pay was sold into slavery. Although already in the 13th century legal restrictions began to appear, and in the 14th century in Germany, as elsewhere, they began to prohibit gambling houses (first appeared in the 12th century in Italy); but until recently, in the small German states, gambling houses in the form of roulettes and other nativity scenes were not only tolerated, but also encouraged by governments, since they paid significant taxes to the poor treasuries. With the rise of Prussia and the unification of Germany, a prominent reform of the police was given in this area - gambling houses in the German lands disappeared. Until the law of July 1, 1868 on the closure of gambling houses and the subsequent unification of the German Empire under general law, Germany was notorious for its gambling houses in Baden-Baden, Bad Doberan, Bad Ems, Wiesbaden, Hamburg, etc.

Gambling from antiquity, as can be judged on the basis of sources, was practiced only in the form of betting and throwing dice. With the invention of the art of engraving on wood and copper around 1423, cards began to be made by artists in Spain and Germany, which initially served for fortune-telling, and then became an instrument of games based on fortune-telling, that is, gambling. Initially, the card game, which was a specialty of the dark elements, served as a skillful form of deception, and already in 1494 a treatise was published "Liber vagatorum", exposing the deceitful tricks of card cheats. The game was played in dens, pubs, and in 1541 in England the first law on the persecution of the owners of gambling dens was issued. Until now, under English common law, the owners of gambling houses are prosecuted as the organizers of "commonly harmful deeds (eng. common nuisance), creating a temptation to idleness and gathering together a significant number of dissolute people.

But, gradually, gambling is spreading both at the court and among the nobility. The heyday of these games is the time of Louis XIII and XIV in France, and simultaneously with these games, cheating is also spreading, in which the most noble persons of high society have repeatedly been convicted. The fashion for gambling from the court of Louis passes to other courts of Europe (to this day, most gambling games retain their French names), and gambling becomes a favorite pastime of the nobility. The bourgeoisie of the end of the 18th century, strengthening its influence in society, also hurried to adopt the "noble fashion", but the spread of gambling among the bourgeoisie takes on noticeable dimensions only from 30-40 years. XIX century (in Germany and Russia even later). The leveling of various classes in the game of chance occurred only with the construction of large gambling houses, the doors of which were open to everyone. Prior to that, gambling was considered reprehensible only if it was played outside its class circle.

The gambling "clubs" that arose in Russia since the 19th century had a sharp class character ("English" - for the nobility, "Merchant", "Kazchichiy", etc.).

Addiction

The habit of gambling can form a psychological addiction in a person - gambling addiction. This addiction can represent both a social and a medical problem for society. One of the risk factors are personality traits: emotional instability, reduced self-control.

Dependent behavior is accompanied by depressive disorders. Researchers note signs of altered consciousness, in particular, preoccupation with the game, concentration of attention on the game with simultaneous detachment from the surrounding reality.

During a survey in Moscow of 96 people who applied for help in connection with a pathological dependence on playing slot machines, suicidal thoughts were detected in 15 cases, and asthenic disorders in 36 cases.

Attitude towards gambling

The fight against side effects associated with excessive gambling has long been one of the tasks of administrative and criminal policy in almost all countries of the world. Socially harmful aspects are reduced to the development in the population of the pursuit of easy unearned income, sometimes promising quick enrichment, but often leading to dependence and impoverishment; to the temptation to take risks at someone else's expense, as a result of which the amount of waste and appropriation increases; to the development of gambling deceptions, an increase in the number of people living at the expense of others.

In Russia

In Russia, many games of chance have long been known, of which the game of cards and grain was pursued by both the clergy and the government, which instructed the governors to monitor this. From the voivodship orders of the 17th century, it can be seen that those who played cards and grain were punished with a whip, and the cards themselves and grain were ordered to be taken away and burned.

Especially at the beginning of the reign of Emperor Alexander I, the government energetically pursued gambling. By decrees, the St. Petersburg military governor-general of 1801 and Moscow, 1806, were ordered to have unremitting supervision so that there would be no gambling, refer the guilty to court and report their names to the emperor himself (No. 19938, 22107). The provisions carried out under Emperor Alexander I and the decrees from Catherine's "Charter of Deanery" were transferred almost unchanged to the "Charter on the Prevention and Suppression of Crimes" (Articles 444-449, vol. XIV), which existed in the Russian Empire until 1917. The law distinguished between commercial games, permitted from gambling, prohibited. Monitoring that such gambling is not conducted anywhere, as well as the duty to find gambling houses and initiate legal prosecution of their founders and participants, is entrusted to the executive police. Prescribing to the police what they should discover during the investigation (the type and instrument of the game, time, place of it, participants, the purpose of the game and the circumstances explaining what intention they played), the law instructed the police to act with caution so as not to cause unnecessary slander, insults and in Moscow sweepstakes were banned in 1889 by order of the Moscow governor-general.

In Soviet law, in the period preceding the New Economic Policy, all kinds of gambling were severely prosecuted as a form of speculative enrichment. November 24, 1917 issued a decree of the Petrograd Military Revolutionary Committee on the closure of all gambling clubs and brothels. However, the Bolsheviks did not wage a serious fight against the gambling business, and it continued to exist in an illegal position. The Council of Commissars of the Petrograd Labor Commune in the spring of 1918 considered and rejected the proposal of M. I. Kalinin on the legalization and taxation (10-30% of income) of gambling establishments in Petrograd.

In 1988, about 200 slot machines were allowed to be installed in Intourist hotels for the entertainment of foreigners. In the spring of 1989, the first casino opened in Tallinn, and in August a casino appeared in the Savoy Hotel in Moscow.

Since 1990, with the collapse of the USSR, casinos and slot machine halls began to appear in Russia with virtually no restrictions. Since July 1, 2009, gambling has been officially banned in Russia, except for four "gambling zones" located far from the country's largest cities. Nevertheless, some gambling establishments continue to operate illegally under the guise of "electronic lotteries", Internet cafes and computer clubs.

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, gambling is “a risk-based winning agreement concluded by two or more participants in such an agreement between themselves or with the organizer of the gambling according to the rules established by the organizer of the gambling”.

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, the activities of gambling establishments (casinos) are subject to licensing. There is a general rule that requires that the chance of winning in slot machines is fair (i.e., winning is statistically random) in order to prevent the manufacturer from making large profits from slot machines with an artificially low probability of winning.

Since insurance obligations have much in common with a bet, from the point of view of the law, the insurance company carries out an agreement in which either party has a percentage of the outcome of the insured event outside certain financial terms. For example, home fire insurance is an insurance contract because each party has an independent interest in the safety of the home.

The laws of some countries do not recognize a bet as a full contract and consider any consequences of material loss as a debt of honor that has no legal force. Therefore, criminal organizations often take on the obligation to repay large debts, sometimes using forceful methods.

In classical literature

Several works of Russian classics were devoted to gambling and their influence on the fate of a person who was carried away by them. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is tied to gambling in the plot of his story The Queen of Spades. The comedy play by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol "Gamblers" raises the image of scammers. Also, the theme of gambling was used by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov in Masquerade, Shtoss and Tambov Treasurer as a plot twist. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky dedicated the novel The Gambler to a gambler, which tells about the spiritual blinding of a person whose meaning of life has become gambling. Osip Emilievich Mandelstam in the poem "Casino" figuratively describes his condition when he is surrounded by gambling machines. In the story "The Brilliant Player" Alexander Stepanovich Green introduces the idea of win-win cards into the plot, which kills the idea of the game itself; in the story "The System" by Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, the story is about an invincible player from Monte Carlo, who, because of his abilities, was denied access to their establishments by casino owners.

Attitude towards gambling[ | ]

Despite the gambling nature, poker is now legally recognized as an official sport in a number of countries. A federal court in New York recognized that poker is a game where "skill has the predominant influence on the result." Sports bridge is officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport and was included in the program of the First World Mind Games in Beijing in 2008.

Especially at the beginning of the reign of Emperor Alexander I, the government energetically pursued gambling.

In Moscow, sweepstakes were banned in 1889 by order of the Moscow Governor-General.

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, gambling is “a risk-based winning agreement concluded by two or more participants in such an agreement between themselves or with the organizer of a gambling game according to the rules established by the organizer of a gambling game”.

In 2006, a law was passed prohibiting the organization of casinos and gambling establishments throughout Russia. The following regions became an exception: Altai Krai, the border of Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast, Kaliningrad Oblast, Primorye. In 2014, it was proposed to organize a gambling zone on the territory of the Crimean peninsula.

Often state lotteries are referred to as gambling in Russia. This is not true. Amendments were introduced to the federal law "On Lotteries", stating that from July 1, 2014, the activities of any lotteries, except for state ones, should be suspended.

In the lottery, the winnings are formed before it is held with the help of the prize fund. In a game of chance - at the expense of the funds of its participants in the course of the game. In addition, lottery winnings are issued at the location indicated on the lottery ticket (or other document). In the case of a game of chance, the winnings are issued at the venue of the game.

IN THE USA [ | ]

Historians Lisa Morris and Alan Block argue that "until the 1840s, the gambling business was organized in such a way that the game was played mainly on steamboats plying the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, as well as the Great Lakes." Then, despite the ban - or perhaps because of the ban - underground gambling flourished on land, resulting in "several infamous 'crime cities'". As for lotteries, they were known in the Old World. Queen Elizabeth authorized the holding of the first English lottery, which was organized in 1569. Later, both in America when it was a colony of England, and in the independent United States, lotteries flourished, as they were well advertised and considered a voluntary way to replenish the nation's treasury. However, due to recurring scandals and political attacks on lotteries, in the 19th century they were universally banned in the United States. The practice of holding legal lotteries returned only in 1963 in the state of New Hampshire, and between 1965 and 1993, 35 states and the District of Columbia introduced state monopolies on the organization of lotteries. Recently, the attitude of the public towards gambling in the United States has been changing towards tolerance. According to the Gallup Public Opinion Research Institute, more than 67% of those surveyed said that they see nothing wrong with this phenomenon and believe that the ban on gambling in many states does not bring any benefit to society.

Each state sets its own set of gambling laws. There are also federal laws. Market regulators - state administrations and the American Gaming Association (unites market participants - manufacturers, distributors and operators). Gambling in the US is allowed on Indian reservations, on cruise ships, and in the state of Nevada. The total market revenue is $71.1 billion annually.

There are over 1,600 casinos in the US. Online gambling is generally allowed, but financial transactions related to online gambling are prohibited.

In religions [ | ]

Bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, game of dice (other Greek. κύβοις ; lat. aleator) and drunkenness devoted, or let him stop, or let him be cast out

Let no one from the laity and clergy henceforth indulge in a game of dice (κυβεύειν). But if anyone is seen to be doing this, then let the clergy be expelled from the clergy, and let the layman be excommunicated from the communion of the church.

The rules of the apostles are accepted both in the Orthodox and in the Catholic Church. And the 50th rule of the Trullo Council is accepted only in the Orthodox Church. In the Slavic pre-Mongol Pilots in the 50th rule, "κυβεύειν" is translated as "sigami lѣkm (face) to play", that is, "to play dice". Rule 42 is translated incorrectly in all Pilots, the words "in the bone" are omitted in the translation. In the Pilot of Savva the Serbian, which became widespread in Russia from the beginning of the 14th century, displacing the pre-Mongolian Pilot, an incorrect translation was made and rule 50, the words "in the bone" - did not get into the translation. The rule in the Pilots of Savva Serbian is as follows: “It’s not like playing like a worldly person.” As a result of incorrect translations of these rules, in the future, the 42nd rule and the 50th rule in the Russian local church were interpreted as a ban on any games at all. The cathedral ban on games: grain, checkers, chess and dice was adopted in 1551 by the Stoglavy Cathedral:

Rule 50 and 51 of the Holy Ecumenical Sixth Council forbids all playing. The fiftieth ubo rule of this council forbids everyone to play both the clerk and the worldly person with grain and chess, and tavlei, and vliria, rekshe bones, and other such games. Rule 51 forbids and dismisses all playing and clerks, and ordinary people. Chapter 92 of the Stoglavy Cathedral "On the games of the Hellenic demonic"

Economy [ | ]

The increase in the number of participants in various gambling significantly affects the attitude to risk in other areas, in particular in the securities market: natural risk avoidance mechanisms are suppressed, and the habit of gambling facilitates the transition to the level of gambling in the stock market.

At the beginning of 2016, KeyToCasino.com analysts conducted a study of the online casino market, which showed that the most popular currency among online casino players is the Euro, which took the lead from the US dollar.

So, gambling - what is it, why does a person start playing so fiercely, why do his eyes burn so brightly, and his breath stops at the sight of roulette? Let's find out in this article...

First, a little history. The excitement itself clearly appeared a long time ago: after all, when primitive people hunted for some animal, then competition grew among them, and hence excitement. Further, the story moves on to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece (there even the gods liked to gamble). Well, having passed through the millennia, humanity has not been able to defeat the excitement, but what to do if a person has it in his blood. Thus, smarter people who want to make their wallets "thicker" came up with a casino. And now, in our time, such people are sitting with fat wallets, well, in principle, they got what they wanted.

And now we need to consider one fact - where does this dependence come from? And dependence comes from the simplest thing - the desire to win. Now imagine for yourself: you are a beginner, you win your first money and start to rush forward, well, here the main disease of inveterate "walkers" in the casino manifests itself - gambling addiction. You want to play more and more, money overcomes your mind, you gradually begin to sell some things from home, why did you fall into the above disease, and if you notice these signs with you, then immediately see a psychologist.

Well, now we have come to the moment when I will consider the types of those creations of smart people who to this day bring them fabulous money.

So, there are many types of gambling, let's get to know each other better:
1. Slot machines.

An ingenious invention that can "rob to the skin" of any player who got up on the wrong foot. However, if you get lucky, you can get fabulously rich. Of greatest interest to gamblers are online slots, which allow you to thoughtfully and slowly develop gaming strategies that can minimize losses. So, if you are lucky and able to think logically, slots (look for them) are exactly what you need.

2. Bookmakers.
Also, no less brilliant invention of mankind. There is nothing complicated here either: you go, taking a certain amount of money with you, and bet on the team or player you like, it all depends on the situation. But, there is a danger of match-fixing, there is little that will benefit you.

3. And, of course, the casino

Oh, this sweet world of roulettes, card games and other “thrown”. Well, let's look at it all from the other side, you can win at the casino, but that's if you have a good day, yes, and if you are a beginner, remember that newbies are lucky. With the most special luck, you will be able to win, but there are very few such luck, and, unfortunately, there is no basic strategy for beating the casino.

4. Card games.

There are many more card games in which you obviously won’t come out a winner without having an opt-sharper. Here, too, you will have to study for years in order to beat people, calculate various combinations and more, so the advice is not to stop at card games, here you definitely won’t get by with luck.

5. Monopoly.
The worst game of my childhood, could never beat my brother, so the advice is, don't get your kids hooked on monopoly.

And now the most important thing, each of us must remember that it is almost impossible to get rich in a casino, in many cases a person simply gets into debt and cannot get out of the debt hole. The simplest remedy is simply not to tempt fate. Follow this advice, and the money will remain in your wallet, and if you want to play, then click on your wrist with a rubber band.

Gambling has existed since ancient times. In order to determine whether the game belongs to gambling, it is enough to see two features in the game:

In a game of chance, a random player wins, that is, the skill of the player either does not matter at all, or it is extremely small. In gambling, chance decides the outcome;
The game takes place with the use of bets, the main goal is to get a win, and not satisfaction from the game process;

"Controversial" games

Territorially in the world, opinions also differ about some games that are recognized in one state as gambling, while in another state they can be assessed as intellectual. The main "controversial" games are poker and sports bridge. In these games, according to many researchers, it is the skill of the players that plays a decisive role in the outcome of the game. In other countries, these games are classified as gambling.

Internet and gambling

A real boon for numerous holders of gambling establishments and simply enterprising citizens was the rapid development of information technology and the increase in the speed of data exchange in the Internet space. The number of online casinos on the Internet is growing like mushrooms after the rain (an example is here http://k.vulkanidze.com/igrovye-avtomaty-besplatno/). The percentage of money in online casinos from the total amount of play money is constantly growing. Legislative authorities in many countries apply various restrictive measures to the activities of online casinos, but they are finding new opportunities for their activities.

State lotteries and gambling zones

Despite the overwhelmingly negative attitude towards gambling on the part of the state, many of them have state lotteries, which are held with a fixed ticket price and a clearly calculated prize fund. In them, during the game, it is impossible to bet on a particular result.

The practice of specially designated gambling zones is widespread, as a rule, combining elements of recreation. All establishments in these zones are registered taxpayers and generate income for the state.

Addiction

Psychological addiction to gambling is called gambling addiction. This disease is often accompanied by severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Players suffering from gambling addiction cannot stop despite regular losses.

A huge number of gambling entails the use of all kinds of terms during the game, from the names of the bets in the game to the names of the moves and certain actions of the players. Historically, the game that came from another country pulled the terms in a foreign language with it. For example, a bet on two numbers in roulette is called a "split". The same rate is called in the Russian terminology of the game "divided" and this is the semantic meaning of the word split. But it also happens that Russian terms have taken root in the game. The same bet on two numbers in roulette can be referred to as a split bet, as well as a bet on a pair or simply a “pair”. And at the same time, in many articles about roulette, as well as in help (help from English help) online casinos, it is the English name of this bet “split” that is used.

In order not to confuse you, and myself too, I will immediately determine what will be displayed on this page. Everything related to the specific terminology of gambling! And the way it sounds in Russian, even if it is a transliteration of the term. Perhaps later I will write a separate page where I will collect gambling terms in alphabetical order in English with their translation into Russian. And on this page, next to the transliteration of the term in Russian, I will write the name in the language from which this term came.

Thinking now, do you need it? And I will answer: “Absolutely!” A beginner who is just trying to learn the rules of poker is unlikely to immediately understand the phrase: “A limp is a blind call, or a bring-in call, or a bet instead of a raise.” Here you need to find a more detailed description of what a limp in poker is, as well as what a raise, bring-in, blind means.

When a term occurs in different games of chance, in the list you will find different descriptions of the same word with a note where the term is used. I especially want to note that sometimes I will deliberately not use the words that define the term. For example, don't look for the term "even odds bet" on the letter C, because in the list below I will describe it on the letter P "even odds".

If you do not find what you are looking for in the list below, then this term has not yet been described by me, or what you were looking for belongs to inventory and is in another alphabetical list - . I do not undertake to list and describe all the terms found in gambling. There are many highly specialized sites where, for example, you can find good lists of all poker terms, or roulette, or blackjack. I'm interested in showing you how great the world of excitement is!

BUT

adventive game(from English Advantage) is a game of chance with a positive mathematical expectation. There are few such games. And, first of all, it is blackjack and some variants of poker, where an advanced player, following a certain game strategy, can equalize the chances in the game or even gain an advantage over the casino.
blackjack, poker

advancer(from English Advancer) - a professional player who has a detailed development of a strategy or tactics to gain an advantage in the game. Advancer plays only in the case or in the game that will give him a profit. The sphere of advancers includes not only games with a positive mathematical advantage, but also participation in tournaments, drawing bonuses in the casino.

ante(from English Ante) - a mandatory or forced initial bet before playing cards for each player, from which the initial pot in the game is formed.
For example, in poker, a player puts an ante bet on the table, and if, after the cards are dealt, the dealer decides to continue the game (eng. Call), then he must make an additional bet (eng. Bet). If the player decides to end the game (English Fold), then he loses the initial bet (English Ante).
But in Texas Hold'Em poker, instead of an ante bet, there are two forced bets - blind bets or blinds (from English Blinds). The difference between blinds and antes is that only two players make blinds before the cards are dealt, while antes are made by all players before the cards are dealt. It is not profitable for players to constantly fold poker cards with antes, and the auctions become more active. In tournaments, an ante can be introduced in blind-only games, again making the game more active.
