What is a Casino

www.casinospells.co.za
In modern English, 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 or not the social and economic consequences of casino gambling
outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated.
In the nited !tates, many states are grappling with high unemployment and budget deficits and are
now turning to legalizing casinos, often in places that are not tourist destinations. !ome casinos are also
"nown for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand#up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.
The term $Casino$ is of Italian origin, the root word being $Casa$ %house& and originally meant a small
country villa, summerhouse or pavilion.
The word changed to refer to a building built for pleasure, usually on the grounds of a larger Italian
villa or palazzo. !uch buildings were used to host civic town functions ' including dancing, music
listening, and gambling.
There are e(amples of such casinos at )illa *iulia and )illa +arnese. In modern day Italian, this term
designates a bordello %also called $casa chiusa$, literally $closed house$&, while the gambling house is
spelled casin, with an accent.-./
0uring the 12th century, the term $casino$ came to include other public buildings where pleasurable
activities, including gambling, and sports too" place. 3n e(ample of this type of building is the
4ewport Casino in 4ewport, 5hode Island.
4ot all casinos were used for gaming. The Copenhagen Casino was a theatre, "nown for the use made
of its hall for mass public meetings during the 1676 5evolution which made 0enmar" a constitutional
monarchy. ntil 1289 it was a well#"nown 0anish theatre.
The :an"o Casino located in :an"o, +inland # one of that town;s most conspicuous landmar"s # was
never used for gambling. 5ather, it was a banquet hall for the 5ussian nobility which frequented this
spa resort in the late 12th century, and is presently used as a restaurant.
The Catalina Casino, a famous landmar" overloo"ing 3valon :arbor on !anta Catalina Island,
California, has never been used for traditional games of chance, which were already outlawed in
California by the time it was built.
In military and non#military usage in !panish and *erman, a casino or "asino is an officers; mess<
curiously, in Italian # the source#language of the word # a $casino$ is either a brothel, a mess, or a noisy
environment, while a gaming house is called a $casin,$. 3 confusing linguistic false friend for
translators.
