Nowadays, casinos are everywhere. There are hundreds of online casino websites around the world that you can access instantly using a smartphone. This list of websites only continues to grow too, with brand new online casinos launching regularly that you can choose from. Offline, there isn’t a shortage of land-based casinos either. Many major towns and cities host at least one brick-and-mortar gambling house in countries where gambling is legal.

Binion’s Horseshoe, Las Vegas, USA

In 1951, Benny Binion bought the Eldorado Club and Apache Hotel in Las Vegas. As the first casino in the city, it achieved substantial fame over the years. Binion’s was also the first one to introduce the idea of comps — free beverages, discounted rates on hotel rooms and free meals for the players.

Since then, comps have become a standard around casinos that want their players to keep coming back.

Binion’s Gambling Hall and Hotel also hosted the first-ever WSOP (World Series of Poker) in 1970. This pioneering championship attracted many future legends of the sport, including Doyle Brunson whose title “The Godfather of Poker” is one of the best poker books ever.

The Taj Mahal Casino became known even before its opening because of the impressive amount of financial resources it took to build it.

Indeed, at some point, the budget ballooned to $930 million. But ultimately, Trump was able to fund the project by emitting bonds with a 14 percent interest rate. When the establishment finished and opened to the public in 1990 (with over 120,000 square feet of gaming space), it turned out that almost no one would come. Free spin casino canada. In the end, it became a favorite gambling spot for Russian mobsters from Brooklyn.

The casino was on the verge of bankruptcy for around two years after the opening, but in the end, it started bringing in substantial profits. It closed in 2016 and transformed into what it
