The history of gambling goes back to antiquity. Although there is no mention of gambling in chronicles, there are legends, tales, conjectures and versions. There is no clear chronology of cards and roulette appearance.

During the excavations of the ancient sites archaeologists find objects that could be used for games. There are suggestions that these objects originally had a magical, sacred meaning, and as the centuries progressed, they became a means of exciting pastime. Egyptian tombs preserved to this day the image of a man playing dice. In ancient Tibet, gambling diagrams were drawn on the roofs of temples. Symbolic representations of the game can also be found on the seats of monks in medieval English churches. The Greeks have a myth of Zeus and Aphrodite tossing dice to determine a hero's fate, and Homer's Iliad describes the Olympian gods playing a lottery to determine the winner of a battle.
