Gambling, outdated also as Hazardspiele (of French hazard = coincidence) designation, is plays around net assets, their exit essentially from the coincidence depends and not on the fate or the decisions of the players.

Different gambling differs among other things by the probability of winning as well as in the relationship of the distribution of profits to the paid employments. Generally the rules and distributions of profits are in such a way laid out that a luck player in the long term, thus loses with frequent play, money.

Historical and legal

Already after Roman right gambling debts could not be in-complained; also the losing before court could not be back-demanded. Also the house, in which luck player were found, was konfisziert.

After old German right gambling business was considered as bad business and it could not only the loss again be back-demanded, but also of the winner be in-complained. In 16. and 17. Century became generally accepted the view that the high and excessive play (high employments and borrowed pools are meant) was forbidden with punishment. One differentiated for the first time between forbidden and permitted plays, which less referred to the kind than to the height the same. In the different European states developed at the beginning 19. Century a different attitude to gambling. While in some states this kind was permitted by plays and also for the advantage of the state were assigned because one publicly operated gambling kept for less perishable than the secretly operated, all Hazardspiele was forbidden in other states. In France, where there were nearly all larger cities in former times to privileged play houses, these were closed on 1 January 1839.

In Germany Prussia had already preceded before the March revolution (1848) with the abolition of the gaming houses. In the 1866 annektierten countries due to of contracts with the gaming houses established by former governments the continuation up to the conclusion of the yearly 1872 was permitted there. They had to accumulate thereby however an important part of the clear profit for the education of a cure and an adornment fund for the cities involved. Starting from 1872 there was therefore no more national gambling in the baths Baden-Baden, bath Homburg, Wiesbaden, bath Ems, Bad Nauheim and bath Pyrmont.

Also playing forbidden in foreign Lotterien, so e.g. in Prussia by the regulation from 5 July 1847. For the execution of public Lotterien and Tombolas a permission had to be caught up before. Worth mentioning is also the decision of the realm court from 29 April 1882, according to which the so-called book making is to be regarded bets at the totalizer with horse races and as gambling. Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i religion, forbade 1873 to its trailers in the Kitab i Aqdas gambling.

Public gambling

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland most gambling in play casinos or gaming houses is offered. Gambling to play is to serve the pastime and pleasure and not the money making - except that of the organizer and the revenue office, who receive 80% of the gaming house gains in Germany.

Many players participate however from pure love of gain in gambling. If a play casino or a gaming house arrives at the opinion that money making is the goal of gambling, the luck player in this or also several casinos no more becomes the play certified. This is possible also on own desire (for instance in the case of play craze).
