“It is no wonder that most who came to the goldfields in search of wealth returned home empty handed. Running a gambling house was the easiest way to mine for gold.”
David G. Schwartz, Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling

“The Egyptians claimed the god Thoth (usually depicted as an ibis-headed man or dog-faced baboon) invented gambling.”
David G. Schwartz, Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling

“The invention of agriculture about ten thousand years ago triggered a revolution in human living that would ultimately lead to cities, commerce, and money—and a dramatic expansion in gambling.”
David G. Schwartz
