WORLD'S FIRST CASINO
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

What was the world's first casino?

When you begin searching for the first casino or gambling house of record, you will discover that the very first gaming houses were around before the written word. The Nile Delta and the Ancient Far East claim to have created the first gaming houses where during that time there was betting on arena sports, animal races and more in China, India, Persia, and Mongolia.

However, the first casino houses were created in the early 1700’s along the Mediterranean Coast and known by the term casino, which translates to mean “little house” in Italian.

The first casino on land in America was Brown’s Saloon, which was located on the corner of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah in 1822.

Nevada, however, was the first state to offer legal casino-style gambling in 1931. The El Rancho Vegas Hotel & Casino built in 1941 was the first casino in Las Vegas.
