- Gambling Origin - Implements associated with the practice of gambling have been found in ancient China sites dating back to about 2300 B.C...Playing cards may have developed in China, since the Chinese developed both paper and money made from paper. In fact, the Chinese are said to have come up with the practice of shuffling paper money about 900 A.D. This may have evolved into the practice of shuffling cards.
- The Hong Kong movie industry produces the most movies with themes revolving around gambling. Here's a partial list.
- Mahjong is the longest-running fad in the Chinese communities. And it will stay as fad forever.
- The most popular greeting during Chinese New Year is Gong Xi Fa Cai, which really is a congratulatory saying for winning in gambling. That's because every Chinese is expected to gamble in the New Year.
I took this picture today, the second day of CNY, the youngest gambler is only five years old.
