Once modern casinos came into existence, it became the norm to drink for free while one was playing – a courtesy extended by the house to keep players at the table longer and, of course, attempt to diminish their rational abilities in hopes of gaining an edge on them.įor example, according to research by Mike Takanami, a leading pro reader at 大吉カジ.jp, Japan also has its own casino drinking culture. In the United States, the first gambling establishments were actually Saloons, where travellers would gather to meet people, have a few drinks and even gamble some of their hard-earned winnings. The truth is playing card games while enjoying a drink has been a hobby of many since the dawn of casinos back in 17 th century Italy. Whenever we think of James Bond hitting the high roller tables at the Casino Royale, its hard picture him without his signature Vodka Martini in hand – and god forbid it’s stirred! Casinos and beverages have gone hand in hand with each other since as far as we can remember.
