Everybody knows the word 'casino'. For more than a decade, casino grew from just a small entertainment house to a sought after gambling place. But what does it really mean?

According to Wikipedia:

A casino is a facility that houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities. Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships and other tourist attractions.

The term "Casino" originally meant a small villa, summerhouse or pavilion built for pleasure, usually on the grounds of a larger Italian villa or palazzo. There are examples of such casinos at Villa Giulia and Villa Farnese. In modern day Italian, this term designates a bordello (also called "casa chiusa", literally "closed house"), while the gambling house is spelled casinò with an accent.

One of the first known casinos was established in Venice around 1638. During the 19th century, the term casino came to include other public buildings where pleasurable activities, including gambling, and sports took place.

Gambling in casinos is limited to persons over the age license and most of the states in the US disapproves gambling even internet betting. Only selected states like Nevada is allowed.

Casino is built for entertainment and pleasure. People tend to conclude that whenever other people go to a casino is a gambler (a ludomaniac perhaps). Not all people who go to casinos are gamblers. He could be an employee of that casino or other positions related to a casino. Employees should also be aware of playing casino games. Casinos are made to entertain, connect people and at the same time do business. The Origin of casinos is unknown but it came a long long way and still lives up to its name.
