Rolling the dice through the ages

The Oxford Dictionary defines the word ‘gambling’ as “the activity of playing games of chance for money and of betting on horses”. It’s become a cliché to refer to practices that have been around for hundreds of years as being ‘as old as time’, but in the case of gambling, it’s pretty much the truth. Historians have claimed that the practice of finding a consideration, taking a risk and then awarding a prize dates back to the old stone age. The first six-sided dice was found in Mesopotamia around the year 3,000 BC, which was based on the old astragali games which are thousands of years older than even that. During the first millennium BC, there were Chinese gambling houses where locals would bet on all sorts of activities, including animal fights.
