You don’t need to open a history book or watch a TV documentary to see that gambling has been such an essential part of humanity, over the last thousands of years. People from all over the world, from all classes of society, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity or social status have been attracted by all sorts of games of chance - card games, sports betting, lottery games, slot machines, roulette wheels, spinning tops, dice. 

To keep the players motivated and the game going, sometimes people wage money (or things of value) - if these games involve money, then they are classified as gambling. All these games have something else in common - all of them have a randomizing device at the core of the activity; some require a higher degree of skill and knowledge, while for others, practice and abilities are not that important.

However, it’s not money alone that justifies playing the games - celebrities, artists or ordinary people often bring strong arguments in favor of gambling. They say gambling can be a colorful, fun and entertaining activity; other add by stating that in many occasions, going to a casino is theatrical and dramatic.

There is no way we could predict or built a future for humanity (in any aspect of our existence) without studying or understanding our past. The same applies to gambling - have you ever wondered what are the latest trends? Where are we heading? What is this industry working on, at the moment? 

Before the 90s, all gambling used to be done offline - in casinos and other such places. In the mid-90s, the rise of the internet moved a considerable part of that audience to online gambling (and it also brought new participants, due to the accessibility of these new platforms). Starting with 2012, a new movement began - Bitcoin Casinos - these offer a variety of games, are mobile friendly, can include multiple slot games and can also accept other cryptocurrencies. Still, most of the times, the lack of regulations and questionable practices related to these casinos make more and more people no longer trust them and even avoid or criticise them.

2017 was a decisive year because it marked the launch of smart contract gambling. If you are familiar with the blockchain technologies, you do not need any extra explanations on how smart contracts can improve and even revolutionize industries and interactions between people or organizations. For more info on smart contracts, go to [Coindesk]( https://www.coindesk.com/information/ethereum-smart-contracts-work/) and [Blockgeeks]( https://blockgeeks.com/guides/smart-contracts/). 

Designed and improved continuously (for over a year) with the help of the professional gambling community and other groups, [TrueGame]( https://ico.truegame.io/) is now available to the public as a fully working platform (with a gambling license already obtained).
