What are the gambling facts you know?

I was reading about gambling history and I stumbled upon some crazy facts. I never knew that the oldest known dice date back to around 3000 BC and that was in ancient times. You can't believe that the slot machine was invented in 1887. What are the favorite gambling facts you have come across?

I heard that poker was invented by Persians over one thousand years ago. Moreover, that poker was derived from tarot card. Tarot card was solely used for divination for royalties until later after over 500 years laymen start to ise it for gambling.

I find that poker was believed to have had its roots in Persia. Is this true? I’ve always thought it originated in the United States.

I found out that betting odds in casinos aren't just about the math—they’re also tweaked by how the games are structured to keep you playing longer. I was checking reviews on https://www.trustpilot.com/review/casinos-not-on-gam-stop.info to see what others said about different platforms, and it's wild how some sites operate outside regular self-exclusion programs. Gave me a clearer picture of how different places might affect how much you end up spending.
