Gambling has a long history in Greece, with many modern casino games having their origins in Ancient Greece. Indeed even the Ancient Greek gods gambled, with Greek mythology being based on Zeus, Poseidon and Hades drawing lots to divide the universe Zeus got Olympus and the earth, Poseidon the sea and Hades the underworld.
Gambling games in Ancient Greece were popular among soldiers and the upper classes. Indeed according to historians, gambling, particularly in dice games, was so popular during the period that the residents created associations specifically for gaming.
Callistratus, an Athenian orator, famously said about gambling "games in which losers go on doubling their stakes resemble ever recurring wars, which end only when the warring parties cease existence."
