A casino is a place where people can gamble and play games of chance. It is also a place where people can watch and listen to live entertainment. Some casinos also serve food and drink. There are many different types of casino games. Some of them are purely chance while others require skill. Gambling has been part of human life for millennia. It first started in China around 2300 BC and then spread to Rome in 500 AD. Then, in the 1400s, baccarat rose to prominence followed shortly thereafter by blackjack.
