It may include a variety of games and be located in massive resorts or small card rooms. Casinos make billions of dollars each year for the companies, investors, and Native American tribes that operate them. The gambling industry is regulated by state and local laws.<\/p>\n<p>Casinos are staffed with people trained to prevent cheating and stealing by patrons and employees alike. Security cameras are usually placed throughout a casino, and staff members watch for signs of tampering or suspicious behavior. Casinos also use strict rules of conduct to discourage gambling addiction.<\/p>\n<p>The modern casino originated in the 16th century in Europe during a gambling craze. Italian aristocrats would gather in private houses, known as ridotti, to gamble together and socialize. Ridotti were technically illegal, but authorities did not bother with them, and the gambling clubs flourished [Source: Schwartz].<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s casinos focus on attracting high-stakes players. These gamblers are known as \u201chigh rollers\u201d and can bet tens of thousands of dollars on a single game. To lure them, many casinos offer complimentary items (known as comps) or special rooms where the stakes are much higher.<\/p>\n<p>Casinos decorate to create an atmosphere of luxury and excitement. Bright colors like red are used to stimulate the senses and make patrons lose track of time. Clocks are typically not displayed on the casino walls because they would detract from the casino\u2019s image of an antiquated, exclusive club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A casino is an establishment for gambling.
